This tropical theme is statement to Therme's waterpark attractions across Europe, and will be mimicked at the Manchester location, with 1,500 palm trees being planted.
The site will also be home to a 10,000 square-metre botanical garden created into the shape of a rose.

Richard Land, Chief Development Officer of Therme Group UK, said on the project: "Therme Group is based on a belief that wellbeing should be accessible for all.
"The events of 2020 have shone a light on the necessity of this mission, especially for those in cities.
