Therme Group, the global developer and operator of wellbeing destinations, will develop a $1 billion wellness attraction in Singapore — the group’s first venture into the country and region. 

According to a Nov 4 release, the project follows the award of the tender for the 4ha waterfront site at Marina South by Singapore Tourism Board (STB). 

Developed in partnership with DP Architects and Therme ARC, the wellness attraction will feature thermal pools, botanical landscapes, art installations and health technology. It is slated for completion by 2030.

Mah Bow Tan, chairman of Therme Group Asia, says the project will cater to a diverse audience across all ages and backgrounds. “We will partner with local organisations and enterprises to activate the surrounding public spaces, and make this another jewel of Marina Bay — a world-class destination that draws visitors from the region and beyond, showcasing Singapore as a leader in holistic wellness,” he adds. 

Located next to Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay,  the project is expected to attract around two million visitors annually at full operational capacity, with overseas tourists projected to make up half of that figure.

Jean Ng, assistant chief executive of experience development group at Singapore Tourism Board, says: “Our vision is to establish Singapore as a leading urban wellness haven through a world-class facility that offers transformative wellness experiences for visitors and locals alike.”
