History

Plans to realise a large-scale 'wellbeing resort' in TraffordCity were first announced in July 2019, with developers Therme Group inviting local residents to attend a consultation in the summer.[2] Planning permission was subsequently granted to the project by Trafford Council in March 2020.[3] Original plans saw the proposed resort opening in 2023, with construction beginning in 2021[4] - however the COVID-19 pandemic saw this date pushed back by 2 years - with a 2025 opening date being confirmed in early 2022.[5]

Resort

Upon completion, the resort will occupy 28 acres of space (currently occupied by the EventCity exhibition centre). Over 25 pools, 35 waterslides and 30 saunas & steam rooms will make up what Therme Group dub an 'urban oasis' - along with the UK's first indoor all-season beach, with lapping waves.[6][7]
