Works have begun on the Galgorm Resort and Spa as part of a £2m expansion programme at the Northern Ireland hotel.
The investment, funded solely by Galgorm, will include a two acre spa, a fitness suite and spa eatery.
The spa garden and fitness suite are set to open in July. The garden will feature olive trees from Tuscany and a water feature designed by local artist Billy McCullough. The purpose-built fitness suite will house pilates and yoga classes.
The spa eatery, Elements, will be constructed to cause minimal impact on the environment and have a strong ethos of healthy dining.
The on-site Italian restaurant Fratelli will also be renovated, increasing the seats from 80 to 180.
Colin Johnston, general manager, said: “We are delighted to be working on the next exciting phase of the development at Galgorm.
“This project was undertaken to create a world-class addition to the already outstanding guest facilities here. Our investment is entirely privately funded and clearly displays our faith in the future growth and prosperity of Ballymena.”
