Therme Group, a global developer and operator of next-generation wellbeing destinations, has announced that it will be developing a S$1 billion (US$765 million) state-of-the-art wellbeing oasis in Singapore, after winning a tender for a Wellness Attraction at the Marina South Coastal site, awarded by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
This marks Therme Group’s first foray into Singapore, creating Asia’s first large-scale social wellbeing infrastructure project and the Group’s inaugural destination in the region. The project will be Singapore’s first dedicated wellness attraction and will support the nation’s goal of achieving S$47 billion to S$50 billion tourism receipts by 2040.
The winning bid in the tender outlines the development of a sweeping urban oasis on the four-hectare waterfront site next to Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay. It is projected to welcome around two million visitors annually when it reaches full operational capacity in 2030, with about half from overseas.
The development will embrace its connection to the sea, integrating water, nature, and architecture to bring holistic wellbeing into everyday urban life. Developed in partnership with Singapore’s award-winning multinational architecture firm DP Architects and Therme ARC (Therme Group’s in-house architecture practice and design company), the project is envisioned as a world-class, year-round destination designed to reinforce Singapore’s position as an urban wellness haven.
What is a Therme
Therme by Therme Group is a state-of-the-art wellbeing oasis designed to make wellbeing enjoyable and accessible to all, removing the exclusivity and privilege often associated with modern wellness brands. Each Therme offers a diverse range of experiences, from thermal bathing and spa treatments to wellness programming and cultural engagement, all within immersive, sustainable environments.
With hundreds of thousands of square feet dedicated to wellbeing, each Therme features thermal and mineral pools, dozens of saunas and wet rooms, thousands of relaxation beds, lush greenery including plants and trees, swim-up bars, exhilarating waterslides and a variety of restaurants.
The company’s proven impact in making wellbeing more widely accessible is demonstrated through flagship destinations Therme Bucharest—the first LEED Platinum-certified wellbeing destination—and Therme Erding, which together welcome over 3.5 million visitors annually.
New developments are underway in Manchester (under construction), Frankfurt, Toronto, Washington, Dallas, Incheon and Dubai (in pre-development).
Therme Singapore
Distinct from traditional spas or resorts, Therme Singapore will be built as a complete wellbeing destination, rooted in Therme Group’s core pillars: Water & Nature, Sustainability & Design, and Arts & Culture. The facility will seamlessly integrate thermal pools, lush botanical landscapes, world-class art installations, and cutting-edge health technology under one roof, offering a transformative and restorative experience accessible to everyone.
Therme Singapore is also designed to be a class-leading sustainable development. The facility will incorporate Therme Group’s proprietary technology for high-efficiency water recycling, sustainable energy solutions, and advanced biophilic design, ensuring that the infrastructure and the adjacent coastal park are integrated as a cohesive green and blue oasis along the waterfront.
Dr Robert Hanea, Founder and CEO of Therme Group said, “Our winning proposal for the Marina South Coastal site is a reflection of our shared vision for how cities can integrate wellbeing into everyday life. In Singapore, we are creating a destination for residents and visitors alike—a place where wellness, culture and nature come together. Backed by decades of science and innovation, Therme Singapore will be a state-of-the-art facility that transforms urban life by making holistic health enjoyable and accessible to all.”
