Club Mona to bring cold plunges and wellness hub to Liverpool

Club Mona is set to open on Great Howard Street near the Titanic Hotel in early 2027, bringing a nearly 40,000-square-foot padel, wellness and hospitality venue into Liverpool city centre. The project sits close to Stanley Dock and is being developed by brothers Luis, Lloyd and Jordan Stockton alongside Steven Granite, chief operating officer of Applied Nutrition.

The ground floor is built around the sports-and-recovery loop. Eight indoor padel courts will anchor the site, joined by a premium lounge, co-working space, social café areas, changing rooms and a nutrition retail store. A dedicated recovery suite is planned with hot plunges, cold plunges and sauna facilities, putting ice baths alongside the kind of post-match amenities racket-sport players now expect.

Club Mona’s wider fit-out pushes well beyond padel. The venue is also set to include a commercial gym, a Hyrox-focused training zone, a HIIT studio, yoga and Pilates rooms, plus a fully immersive wellness suite with hyperbaric chambers, red light therapy, cryotherapy, recovery technology and treatment rooms. The directors have said they want the club to feel different for Liverpool while staying rooted in the city’s culture, and the mix of training floor, café and work space makes that promise concrete rather than cosmetic.

That blend lands in a city where cold and hot recovery is already part of the wellness landscape. Wyld Sauna, at Princes Dock, opened as the UK’s first public floating sauna with four ice baths, and later announced expansion work that included a new 16-person sauna, upgraded lockers and bathrooms, and a café on site. Planning had also already been approved for a sauna and ice-bath installation on a floating pontoon at Princes Dock, another sign that Liverpool’s waterfront has become familiar ground for plunge-pool culture.

For cold-plunge regulars, the telling detail is not just that Club Mona is adding ice baths. It is that the plunges are being folded into a daily-use club where padel, training, remote work, food and social time are meant to sit under one roof. That is the recovery model operators are betting on now, and Liverpool already looks ready for it.
