The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has awarded Therme Group Singapore the tender to develop a wellness attraction at Marina South Coast, aligning with STB’s Tourism 2040 vision. The project, set to open by 2030, will span 4 hectares and is expected to draw 2 million visitors annually, with nearly half being international tourists. This development will be Singapore’s first dedicated wellness attraction, enhancing the Marina Bay precinct’s appeal.
Therme Group Singapore’s proposal was selected for its innovative wellness concept, which includes thermal pools, saunas, steam baths, and water slides, catering to diverse demographics. The attraction will be situated alongside notable landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage, further enriching the area’s offerings. Additionally, a public park will be developed, linking Marina Barrage to the wellness site.
The global wellness tourism market is projected to grow by 10.2% to US$1.35t by 2028, highlighting the sector’s potential. Jean Ng, Assistant Chief Executive of STB, stated, “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.” This initiative supports Singapore’s goal of achieving $47b to $50b in tourism receipts by 2040.
