Therme Manchester's huge water resort is set to open in 2028.
Prestigious spa brand the Therme Group has been working on plans to open Therme Manchester: the UK’s first city-based wellbeing resort, promising to be one of the most exciting additions to the city in many years. They've got existing venues everywhere from Bucharest to Ontario, as well as Scotland, complete with indoor pools and stunning palm trees. Intrigued about their Manchester venture? Then read on to find out all the details.
What is Therme Manchester?
This impressive site is set to be a unique wellbeing experience, offering a 33-degree climate all-year round. This is made possible by their sustainable glass infrastructure and warm water lagoons, which will be surrounded by palm trees and botanical gardens containing hundreds of species of plants.
They'll be combining the ancient practice of healing thermal water with multi-sensory sauna experiences, an urban beach, steam rooms and a luxury but affordable spa. Expect water slides and a wave pool on-site, alongside various health and fitness therapies. Outdoor spaces await too, including more pools and a rooftop terrace.
Predicted to attract two million visitors a year, both adults and children, this is set to be the most visited water-based attraction in the whole of Europe. You'll even be able to enjoy a range of top quality food and drink in the building, focusing on healthy choices, making it easy to spend an entire day here.
When is the Therme Manchester opening date?
This site has been in the works since 2023, when they were given planning permission by Trafford Council. The original opening date was set for late 2025, but due to delays, it's now expected to open in late 2028 – although construction is at least now active.

Therme is taking over the former site of EventCity in Trafford Park, which was demolished in March 2023. This is a whopping 28 acres of land, giving us an idea of the scale of this project.
