The attraction will be split into three areas – Play, Restore and Relax.

The Play zone will be ideal for families with lots of fun water features, a pool, a beach, lounging areas and family dining experiences.

Then in the Relax zone, which will be adults-only, there’s a focus on “premium wellbeing experiences” with indoor and outdoor pools, waterfall showers, mineral baths, steam rooms and saunas and casual dining.

And then in the Restore zone – the second adults-only area – there will be “industry leading health, nutrition and wellbeing therapies”, “sauna rituals”, experience showers, wellbeing consultations and dining.

Construction on the first pool is due to start next week and once the resort is open, it is expected to attract two million visitors each year.

The resort also recently announced that it was partnering with Marriott International with Marriott Bonvoy members being offered exclusive travel and stay packages linked directly to Therme destinations – which will include Manchester.

THE highly anticipated Therme attraction coming to Manchester has just announced some big changes.

The first-of-its-kind resort in the UK, has altered its £500million design – but it will still have indoor beaches, waterslides and relaxation zones.

According to reports, Therme has tweaked its layout to create a “more striking design”.

One of the new additions will be a public plaza which will link the resort and the Bridgewater Canal – and it’s adding a 53,000sq ft wellbeing garden.

In the updated plans, the two multi-storey car parks have also been removed to “create more open views”.

There will still be parking, but this has been relocated and the number of spaces has been reduced by around 100.
