Plans for a massive £250m indoor spa, featuring beaches and swim-up bars, have been re-jigged and pushed back. Therme Group UK and developers Peel L&P unveiled plans for a site in Trafford Park, a stone’s throw from the Trafford Centre, for the massive indoor complex in 2020.
The spa, the first of its kind in the UK, was granted planning permission by Trafford council the same year. Now, the group wants to change its proposals and is set to submit new plans to Trafford council in the hope of gaining approval this summer – it’s added two years to the project’s schedule.
The new plans are set to feature ‘living’ waterslides with thousands of plants, all-season indoor beaches, multi-sensory showers, an oxygen room, a snow room and a 2.5 acre wellbeing garden. There will also be rooftop bee hives to supply the site’s restaurants and treatment spaces and 1,500 trees are set to be planted on site.
