Therme Singapore will develop a S$1 billion wellness destination in the Marina South area of Singapore [1].
The project represents a significant expansion of the city-state's tourism infrastructure. By integrating luxury wellness with large-scale attractions, the development aims to diversify the local travel market and attract a broader range of international visitors.
Led by Mah Bow Tan, the project is a unit of the Therme Group and involves cooperation with the Singapore Tourism Board [1]. The facility will feature a combination of indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides, and dozens of specialized wellness treatment rooms [1].
Construction is underway to transform the Marina South waterfront into a hub for thermal baths and spas [1]. The development is designed to modernize the urban planning story of the Marina Bay area, shifting the focus toward holistic health and leisure.
Officials said the project is expected to generate about 400 jobs upon completion [1]. These roles will span the hospitality and wellness sectors, supporting the broader goal of enhancing Singapore's service economy.
The wellness destination is scheduled to open in 2030 [1].
“A S$1 billion wellness destination featuring indoor and outdoor pools”
This development signals a strategic pivot by the Singapore Tourism Board to capitalize on the global rise of 'wellness tourism.' By placing a high-capital attraction in Marina South, Singapore is attempting to evolve its urban core from a primary business and shopping district into a comprehensive lifestyle destination that can compete with other luxury hubs in Asia.
