Sir Mo’s wife cashes in with royal themed spa

HER husband is a sporting icon who has flown the flag for Team GB around the world.

Now Sir Mo Farah’s ambitious wife is taking a taste of Britain to the U.S. with her own ‘ royal-themed’ luxury spa that unashamedly cashes in on the Queen and her family.

Tania Farah, 31, is opening the British Manor Spa in the couple’s adopted home of Portland, Oregon, where they have lived since 2011.

The resort is decorated with gold crowns, pictures of the London skyline and even boasts a coat of arms.

Visitors will enjoy a range of ‘royal’ treatments, including the £110 Duchess Facial, the Piccadilly Pedicure and the Cambridge Exfoliating Body Ritual when it opens next month.

There are a number of ‘best of British’ packages, such as the Queen’s Coronation, costing £352, which includes a Cornish clay wrap and a ‘Trafalgar’ deep tissue massage. There are also treatments for men, such as the ‘MI6 massage’.

Even children, or ‘Junior Royals’ as they are called, are catered for with the £156 ‘ Package for a Prince or Princess’. Not wanting to miss out on her husband’s fame, there is even the Sir Mo Farah Double Recovery session which promises to help guests ‘recover like the world’s No 1 track and field distance athlete’. It combines a massage with a cryotherapy session — exposure to temperatures of up to -168c for three minutes to help heal damaged tissue. Tania, who is also her husband’s PR adviser, has been working on her project for 16 months. ‘ It has taken a lot of graft, blood, sweat and tears to get to this point and now it’s finally here,’ she says.

The couple, who have four children, married in 2010 and live near the Nike Oregon Project, which is run by Farah’s controversial coach Alberto Salazar.

Salazar is under investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, but Sir Mo, who won Olympic gold in both the 5,000m and 10,000m in 2012 and 2016, has stood by his mentor. The runner has always denied doping and has said he is happy for historical samples to be retested.

No word on whether there will be ‘a Salazar package’ on offer.
