Idyllic beach lifestyle anywhere in the world; an innovator’s dream

When the British set up to put a piece of forest inside the city 200 years ago, they had no idea they had just invented a new concept of urban space: what we know today as parks. The innovator and founder of Crystal Lagoons®, Fernando Fischmann, had a similar dream. To bring a piece of an idyllic beach experience all over the world, with his technology, he made it possible.

Developed for years and first put into application in San Alfonso del Mar in Algarrobo, Chile, Fernando invented a way to keep large bodies of water with turquoise color all year long, and best of all, with a sustainable format that reduces the use of additives up to 100 times less than a regular pool would.

The vision of Fernando allowed him to foresee that PAL™ lagoons would definitely change day-to-day life in cities, on all socioeconomic levels. This innovative model opens up the possibility of public access lagoons for residents in a complex and entry through a ticket, letting people enjoy a Caribbean experience just minutes from their home.

This state-of-the-art model over the years has expanded, and today, Crystal Lagoons® amenities are considered at the helm of the latest amenity craze. Both retail companies and private investors are building their own crystal-clear lagoons to enhance people’s lives and to bring new customers to their businesses.

Such is the expectation surrounding this immense body of water, that it has converted Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City – District One into the most expensive real estate projects, charging the highest price per square meter and one of the best-selling in the United Arab Emirates during 2019. According publications in the press, its luxurious villas reach US$ 12 million, constituting a record in the region.

The concept created by forward-thinking Fernando Fischmann is a transcendental legacy, which will change the lives of cities forever, and continue to be part of an urban evolution, offering an undoubtedly new and memorable urban experience, in tune with our times.

Constantly innovating

Over the years, Fernando Fischmann has patented the firm’s 2,000 revolutionary concepts and technologies, improving the lives of people in 190 countries worldwide. As a consequence, Crystal Lagoons intellectual property has been valued by Economics Partners LLC at US$ 4.1 billion.

The multinational is currently in advanced negotiations across the Middle East and North Africa to develop 33 complexes in countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco and Turkey.

Crystal Lagoons is an international innovation company, founded by scientist Fernando Fischmann, which has developed a patent-protected technology that allows the construction and maintenance of unlimited-size clear water lagoons at very low costs.
