Incredible plan for ‘giant greenhouse’ in Dubai with 330ft tower of pools, water slides & gardens set to open in 2028

INCREDIBLE plans for a 330ft "giant greenhouse" in Dubai have been revealed - and it's set to open within the next three years. The unbelievable resort will boast a series of staggered, rounded platforms with cascading pool terraces and rich, green gardens. The gargantuan 100-metre-structure by Therme Group looks to apparently provide tranquillity in the concrete jungle of Dubai. The Group appear to really be trying to tap into their wellbeing mantra as there are set to be three stations in the greenhouse-looking tower - Play, Relax and Restore.

Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, these spaces include indoor and outdoor thermal pools using 90 per cent recycled water, saunas, steam rooms, mineral baths, water slides, restaurants and an indoor botanical garden. And if visitors are looking to host, an events space is available in the bizarre build. Meanwhile 80 per cent of the fresh air and cooling technology will use clean energy sources, Therme claim.

Plans for the structure include evening entertainment, with the spaces to "come alive with music, artistic performances and events". The design has already been approved by Dubai ruler Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. And it's a good thing it has as the structure is set to be built in Dubai's Zabeel Park - just next to the the Royal Palace. The tower has been designed to welcome a whopping 1.7 million visitors annually, which Therme believes is "setting a new standard for holistic and daily wellbeing".

Diller Scofidio + Renfro's founding partner Elizabeth Diller said: "Elevated high above the concerns of everyday urban life, Therme Dubai is an oasis in the sky. She explained that the structure "emerges from the lake of a revitalised Zabeel Park" with a series of "botanical islands" that are stacked on one another. Elizabeth added: "Each island is a platform for thermal pools, decks, and verdant indoor and outdoor vegetation; each offers a distinctive atmosphere, and each is oriented toward the dramatic view of the Dubai skyline.".

Therme Group founder Robert Hanea said: "Dubai is a city that understands the future must be built with wellbeing at its core. "We are creating more than a destination - we are shaping how cities can integrate nature, water and culture to elevate quality of life at scale.". Construction on Therme Dubai is due to start in 2026 and expected to complete in 2028. Meanwhile construction is now underway for the world's second-tallest skyscraper, The Burj Azizi, which is to be complete in 2028 too.

It is set to be an staggering 725 metres (2,379ft) high, coming just behind its neighbour and record holder the Burj Khalifa at 830 metres (2,723ft). Sales for the lavish skyscraper, planned to be over the 131 storeys, will launch next February, but the probably eye-watering prices have yet to be announced. The Burj Azizi will feature a unique all-suite seven-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes.

It will also see luxury residences ranging from penthouses to apartments and holiday homes. The giant building will have a "one-of-a-kind" adrenaline zone and observation deck, where guests can soak up the desert views of Dubai. Several world record-breaking features are also promised to come with the development. These include: the highest hotel lobby in the world on level 11, the highest nightclub on level 126, the highest observation deck on level 130, the highest restaurant in Dubai on Level 122, and the highest hotel room in Dubai on level 118.
