The most spectacular lagoons in the world are Crystal Lagoons

15 May, 2023 / News

It is not the first time that Crystal Lagoons’ lagoons are the absolute protagonists in rankings compiled by the media featuring the largest and most spectacular lagoons in the world. This time, the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo included four projects by the innovation multinational in the top 5 list.

The selection highlights emblematic projects developed with Crystal Lagoons® sustainable technology patented in 190 countries: Citystars Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, Mahasamutr in Thailand, San Alfonso del Mar, and Las Brisas de Santo Domingo in Chile.

It heads the Citystars Sharm El Sheikh ranking, in Egypt, a project that since 2015 has held the Guinness Record for being the largest crystalline lagoon in the world. This amenity with turquoise waters has 12.5 hectares, is located in the Sinai desert and surrounded by idyllic white sand beaches, offering a wide variety of alternatives for recreation in a safe and controlled environment such as swimming and practicing water sports, such as sailing in the kayak.

Sharm El Sheikh is the second Guinness World Record for Crystal Lagoons. The first was obtained by San Alfonso del Mar in 2007, with the lagoon of 8 hectares and 1 kilometer in length, marking a milestone for the multinational water innovation company. For this reason, it is the second project within the Top 10 of Pool Magazine.

MahaSamutr’s idyllic 7-hectare lagoon is the centerpiece of the resort-style complex. Like all the crystal clear water bodies of Crystal Lagoons, this amenity is surrounded by white sand beaches, which imitate virgin natural beaches. All homes in the development offer direct access to lagoon beach activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing. Other amenities for residents include a spa and waterfront dining options.

Las Brisas is part of the exclusive Santo Domingo community located on Chile’s coast. The resort community is anchored by its 5-acre salt water lagoon, which measures roughly the same size as 16 Olympic-sized swimming pools put together. Developed by Crystal Lagoons, the amenity overlooks the Pacific Ocean and mimics its brilliant blue waters. It offers beachfront swimming and water sports for residents, as swimming in the ocean is not permitted.
