German Press: San Alfonso del Mar, the most unique and magical lagoon

11 July, 2022 / News

The German website ManPai has rated San Alfonso del Mar, as the most unique and crowded magical artificial lagoon in the world. This project marked a milestone for the multinational water innovation company as it was the first crystalline lagoon developed with Crystal Lagoons® technology and today it continues to attract worldwide attention.

Crystal Lagoons has developed and patented state-of-the-art technology that allows crystalline lagoons of unlimited sizes to be built and maintained at low costs, offering an idyllic beach lifestyle anywhere in the world.

The San Alfonso del Mar project includes a 20-acre crystalline lagoon, equivalent to 6,000 traditional pools, made possible only thanks to the technology created by the company, which has been patented in more than 190 countries. The first project in the world to use this innovative technology quickly became the “most successful second home resort in the southern hemisphere”.

These characteristics gave it the World Guinness Record in 2007 until 2015 when another Crystal Lagoons amenity was inaugurated in Egypt, Citystars Sharm El Sheik, which with 30,8-acre surpassed San Alfonso del Mar.

The crystalline lagoon revolutionized the local landscape, not only by providing residents and visitors of San Alfonso del Mar with an attractive and safe area for aquatic activities, but also by offering spectacular views which in turn allowed for the development of other resort and relaxation-based businesses and facilities centered around the new sea-side resort lagoon. All of which transformed and revitalized the entire community of the area.

A new revolution

Today, having revolutionized the real estate world for 10 years, the firm is now transforming city life with Public Access Lagoons™ projects, also known as PAL™ developments. These monumental crystalline lagoons, which are surrounded by white sand beaches, retail and gastronomic services, can be accessed via ticketed-entry. In this way, Crystal Lagoons brings a piece of the ocean to the heart of the city, creating beach life in urban surroundings, much like an English architect did 200 years ago, when he introduced small forests into the city of London, which we know as city parks.
