Paraguay, known for its vibrant culture and lush landscapes, now has a new landmark that is redefining luxury tourism and the real estate market. This is the Highlands Park & Lagoonproject, located in San Bernardino, which brings the beach lifestyleto Paraguay with turquoise waters and white sand, thanks to Crystal Lagoons® patented technology.

With its monumental 6.9-acre crystalline lagoon as the centerpiece, this development offers residents and visitors a weekend and vacation retreat just minutes from the capital, Asunción.

San Bernardino: A Luxury Destination
Historically recognized as a tourist hub in the Lake Ypacaraí area, San Bernardino is now also establishing itself as a luxury destination that combines nature, innovation, and sustainability.

Success from the beginning

Since its launch, Highlands Park & Lagoon, developed by Petrohué Real Estate in partnership with Crystal Lagoons, has achieved unprecedented commercial success, progressing at a record pace, with delivery scheduled for January 2026. Thanks to its innovative proposal, strong market acceptance, and the added value provided by the crystalline lagoon, the complex has already sold more than 70% of the lots in its first phase, making it one of the most successful real estate developments in Paraguay.

The Vision and the Outcome

The vision behind Highlands Park & Lagoon was clear: to create an exclusive retreat that combined the serenity of nature with modern luxury. The solution, of course, was to integrate a Crystal Lagoons® amenity, transforming San Bernardino into the epicenter of a new concept of living and recreation.

A New Hub

Through this project, Crystal Lagoons has not only created an unprecedented amenity in Paraguay but also reaffirmed San Bernardino as the epicenter of premium tourism and luxury real estate. The crystalline lagoon at Highlands Park & Lagoon becomes the heart of the development, redefining the concept of real estate and tourism value in the region.

Among the key benefits it brings are:

Increased added value for residential and tourism projects in the area.
Attraction of national and international investment, driven by a unique amenity in Paraguay.

Innovation and Modernity: Crystal Lagoons® technology projects an image of modernity and innovation, attracting a market segment that values sophistication and cutting-edge solutions.

Additionally, aspiring to become a mini city on a 222-acre site, the exclusive complex will include in its first stage:

469 residential lots
75 townhouses (duplex units)
3 apartment buildings
Sports courts for tennis, paddle, and soccer
Sport Bar for social and recreational gatherings
Two 1,000 m² Clubhouses facing the lagoon, featuring:

The complex is also planned to include a commercial area featuring restaurants and shops facing the lagoon, as well as a high-end hotel with a private beach — all designed to offer a unique experience in a natural setting.

A Disruptive Amenity

Beach life in San Bernardino: A paradisiacal environment surrounded by nature, ideal for water sports and social life.
Luxury real estate: Properties featuring a world-class amenity that enhances their value and creates a competitive edge in the market.
