Global wellbeing destination developer Therme Group announced that it will be developing a S$1 billion state-of-the-art wellbeing oasis in Singapore.
The company recently won the contract for the Concept and Price Revenue Tender for a Wellness Attraction at the Marina South Coastal site put up by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
Therme Group founder and CEO Robert Hanea said: "Therme Group is pioneering the future of wellbeing at scale globally. Our winning proposal for the Marina South Coastal site is an honor and 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."
Likewise, Therme Group Asia chair Mah Bow Tan remarked: "Therme Singapore embodies the vision of wellness for all. We will create a welcoming space that caters to people of all ages and backgrounds, promoting healthy living, social connection and community wellbeing. 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.”
Likewise, STB assistant chief executive for experience development Jean Ng said: "We are pleased to award this landmark wellness attraction tender to Therme Group Singapore. 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. Their approach to wellness which encompasses physical, mental and emotional wellbeing aligns well with our focus areas. In line with our pursuit of quality tourism, this attraction will draw travellers seeking wellness experiences, potentially increasing length of stay and spend, whilst providing locals with best-in-class wellness experiences."
A sparkling debut
This marks Therme Group's initial foray into Singapore, creating Asia's first large-scale social wellbeing infrastructure project and the Group's inaugural destination in Southeast Asia.
The winning bid in the tender outlines the development of a sweeping urban oasis on the 4-hectare waterfront site next to Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay, one of Asia's most prominent waterfronts.
It is projected to welcome around two million visitors annually when it reaches full operational capacity, with about half being overseas visitors.
The development will embrace its connection to the sea, integrating water, nature, and architecture to advance population health and bring holistic wellbeing into everyday urban life.
Developed in partnership with Singapore's award-winning multinational architecture firm DP Architects and the company’s own in-house architecture and design firm Therme ARC, the project is envisioned as a world-class, year-round destination designed to reinforce Singapore's position as an urban wellness haven.
A profound difference
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 for 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 wellbeing infrastructure and the adjacent coastal park are integrated as a cohesive green and blue oasis along the waterfront.
