Therme Group has won the Singapore Tourism Board bid to develop a S$1 billion (US$740 million) well-being destination at Marina South Coastal, Singapore.
The project will be the group’s first in Asia and the region’s first large-scale social well-being infrastructure, occupying a four-hectare waterfront site near Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay. It is expected to welcome around two million visitors annually, with roughly half from overseas.
The development will integrate water, nature, and architecture to promote holistic urban well-being. It is being designed in collaboration with DP Architects and Therme ARC, the group’s in-house architecture and design practice. The facility will combine thermal pools, botanical landscapes, art installations, and advanced health technology, creating a year-round destination that supports physical, mental, and social well-being.
The facility will also prioritise sustainability, incorporating high-efficiency water recycling, renewable energy solutions, and biophilic design to integrate the destination with the surrounding coastal park, creating a cohesive green and blue urban oasis.
“Therme Group is pioneering the future of well-being at scale globally,” said Robert Hanea, founder and CEO of Therme Group. “Our winning proposal for the Marina South Coastal site is an honour and a reflection of our shared vision for how cities can integrate well-being into everyday life. In Singapore, we are creating a destination for residents and visitors alike – a place where wellness, culture and nature come together.”
Jean Ng, assistant chief executive, experience development group, Singapore Tourism Board, added: “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 – encompassing physical, mental and emotional well-being – 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, while providing locals with best-in-class wellness experiences.”
