21/03/2022

Crystalline lagoons of unlimited sizes, which transform any destination in the world into an idyllic beach, have revolutionized numerous markets on five continents. Sustainable technology captures the interest of leading multinationals from different sectors and large investors, particularly in the United States, where the Crystal Lagoons operation is being promoted with extraordinary dynamism.

In the United States, Crystal Lagoons currently has more than 260 real estate projects and Public Access Lagoons™, complexes at various stages of operation, development and negotiation in 23 of the 50 states, including Texas, Florida, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi.

Crystal Lagoons has captured the interest of major developers for extensive exclusivity agreements, including contracts with Epic for 16 PAL™ complexes and with real estate company ADËLON Capital for developments in Orlando and East Florida. Particularly in Texas, the water multinational has a total of 70 projects in different stages, including Lago Mar -with the largest crystalline lagoon in the US-, Windsong Ranch and Balmoral. For its part, in Florida, Crystal Lagoons has 51 projects in different stages, among which Epperson and Sole Mia stand out.

“Our technology when applied to real estate and PAL™ developments is highly valued for its innovation and urban disruption. Bringing a piece of the ocean to cities contributes to sustainability and carbon neutrality, which has earned us numerous environmental awards worldwide,” says Ivan Manzur, Senior Vice President of Sales of Crystal Lagoons US Corp.

Several international media highlighted that the hotel sector is undergoing a real transformation thanks to the incorporation of innovative technologies. One of the technologies highlighted was precisely Crystal Lagoons, in parallel with process automation and artificial intelligence.

The sustainability of the multinational innovation company was key to being considered within these trends. “Currently, many travelers are seeking accommodations that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Places like the AVA Resort Cancun, with its artificial lagoon of crystal-clear waters powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology, are examples of accommodations that stand out for their commitment to sustainability,” explains the Spanish portal 24 Matins.

The turquoise-colored body of water provides ideal conditions for sailing, swimming, kayaking, or relaxing, and thanks to state-of-the-art technology, it consumes 33 times less water than an 18-hole golf course, 40% less water than a park of the same size, and only 2% of the energy of a conventional pool.

After transforming the real estate industry and the urban entertainment landscape with its innovative Public Access Lagoons™ projects, the multinational innovation company is now generating a new revolution, this time in the hotel sector.

Recognizing the transformative value of Crystal Lagoons® technology, leading global hotel chains such as Marriott, Radisson, Conrad, Hyatt Regency, and AVA Resort itself, have incorporated this amenity as a centerpiece in their projects.

“Every hotel project incorporating a Crystal Lagoons amenity becomes the most attractive destination in the area. These bodies of water change the paradigm of vacation developments with world-class hotel and resort standards”, explains Iván Manzur, Senior Vice President of Sales at Crystal Lagoons US Corp.

The multinational water innovation company already has developments of this kind, in which crystalline lagoons are the differentiating factor in the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, Romania, and Uruguay, among other countries.

“The crystalline lagoons achieve unprecedented results, such as bringing a beach lifestyle to Orlando—an entertainment option it didn’t have—or, counterintuitively, replacing the sea in iconic tourist destinations like Cancun,” emphasizes Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.
