The wellness destination "Islands in the Sky" will feature cascading pools and gardens overlooking the city.
Dubai is known for its spectacular architecture and visionary projects. Therme Dubai – Islands in the Sky will add another highlight to the city’s already imposing silhouette. With construction slated to begin in 2026, the wellness resort will spread out over more than 46,000 square meters not far from the royal palace in Zabeel Park. The project was developed by renowned New York architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro for the Therme Group, and is expected to draw some 1.7 million visitors each year.

The new structure will rise 100 meters into the sky and feature thermal and mineral pools on stacked terraces, along with botanical gardens that appear to float in the air. During the daytime, visitors will be able to enjoy the various bathing and spa landscapes, and in the evening, the resort will transform into a vibrant venue for cultural events. Sustainability will also play an important role. Ninety percent of the water in the pools will be recycled and clean energy will fulfill 80% of fresh air and cooling requirements. In line with the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, the project will also set new standards in wellness and urban development.

Dubai is a city that understands the future must be built with wellbeing at its core.
The Group is represented all over Europe, and Therme Erding in Munich is the world’s biggest spa destination. The new resort in the United Arab Emirates is expected to open in 2028.
