Therme Group has broken ground on Therme Singapore, a large-scale wellness and leisure destination planned for Marina South and scheduled to open in 2030.
Spanning more than 66,900m², the development will be Therme Group’s first project in Asia and will include more than 20 indoor and outdoor pools, over 70 wellness treatment rooms, dining facilities and landscaped public spaces.
The seven-storey development will be organised into three zones: Play, featuring family-focused water attractions and 18 water slides spanning more than 1.8km in total length; Relax, with thermal pools, mineral baths and wellness facilities; and Restore, which will house saunas, steam rooms and treatment spaces.
Nature forms a central part of the project, with more than 200,000 plants across 200 species planned throughout the development. A public coastal park covering almost four hectares will also be created, linking the site to Marina Barrage and expanding public access to waterfront green spaces.
Therme Singapore is being developed in partnership with Kajima Overseas Asia and designed by DP Architects together with Therme ARC. Sustainability features will include solar panels, energy-efficient building systems, smart irrigation technology and climate-adaptive landscaping.
The development will also incorporate technologies including RFID wristbands for access and cashless payments, a robotic locker system and ozone-based water filtration systems.
The project is expected to create around 400 jobs across hospitality, operations, engineering and facilities management. Therme Singapore has also signed agreements with the Institute of Technical Education and Republic Polytechnic to support skills development, internships and employment pathways.
Robert Hanea, founder and CEO of Therme Group, said: “As our first destination in Asia, Therme Singapore will serve as a gateway for regional growth to develop partnerships, capabilities and models that can be scaled across Asia and beyond.”
Mah Bow Tan, chairman of Therme Group Asia and Therme Singapore, added: “Beyond the visitor experience, Therme Singapore is also about people, creating jobs, developing new capabilities, and supporting Singapore’s tourism, hospitality and wellness sectors.
“Singapore is the ideal platform for Therme’s growth in Asia. It offers the right environment for this vision through strong connectivity, a deep talent ecosystem and a culture of innovation, enabling us to serve both local communities and visitors from across the region.”
