These are developments where anyone can enjoy an idyllic beach lifestyle through ticketed entry. Moreover, they transform any piece of land into the meeting point of the 21st century and the best business opportunity.
Public Access Lagoons® projects, also known as PAL® developments, developed by Crystal Lagoons, are redefining the concepts of entertainment, tourism, and urban development. These crystalline lagoons, accessible to all through ticketed entry, transform any piece of land into both the best business opportunity and the meeting point of the 21st century, creating destinations that combine technology, sustainability, and profitability.
The vision of Crystal Lagoons goes beyond offering a crystalline lagoon; it is about creating complete experiences that generate lasting value. With the ability to bring a tropical beach just steps away from people’s homes, PAL® complexes have become unparalleled attraction hubs, capable of hosting a wide variety of activities and events throughout the year.
The Heart of a New Lifestyle
PAL® lagoons are much more than a visual attraction: they are the social, recreational, and economic center of modern communities. These developments can host event centers, concerts, festivals, food fairs, sports activities, and many other initiatives throughout the year, becoming true hubs of entertainment and social interaction.
Examples of Projects Transforming Cities
- Lagoon Park Bucharest (Romania): An urban oasis located in the heart of Bucharest, featuring a 2.2-acre crystalline lagoon that debuted with sold-out tickets more than a week in advance.
- Epperson Lagoon (USA): With its 7.3-acre crystalline lagoon, it became the first real estate project transformed into a PAL® development.
- Angel Lagoon (USA): Anchored by a 4.2-acre crystalline lagoon, it has been described as “a paradise just 40 minutes from Houston.”
A Profitable and Sustainable Business Model
PAL® projects generate multiple sources of revenue, making them a unique opportunity for investors and real estate developers. Among the most common models are:
- Sale of daily tickets and annual memberships
- Rental of spaces for events and corporate activities
- Operation of restaurants, bars, shops, and beach clubs
- Commercialization of naming rights and brand sponsorships
All of this is achieved through a scalable and sustainable operational model that reduces maintenance costs and maximizes long-term profitability.
Crystal Lagoons® Sustainable Technology
The patented Crystal Lagoons® technology allows large bodies of crystalline water to be maintained with minimal resource consumption:
- Uses any type of water: fresh, salt, or brackish
- Consumes up to 33 times less water than a golf course
- Uses only 2% of the energy required by conventional filtration systems
- Requires up to 100 times fewer chemicals than a traditional swimming pool
This efficiency makes PAL® projects a globally recognized model of sustainability and water efficiency.
Developments Anywhere in the World
One of the greatest advantages of PAL® projects is their geographical versatility. They can be developed in urban, rural, or inland areas and adapted to different scales and audiences.
Master Agreements: A Model for Global Expansion
Crystal Lagoons drives the growth of its PAL® projects through Master Agreements, strategic alliances that allow local partners to develop multiple lagoons under a single license.
This model:
- Facilitates rapid expansion in key markets
- Optimizes investment and development timelines
- Guarantees the exclusive use of Crystal Lagoons® technology in each region
In this way, partners can capitalize on the enormous commercial potential of crystalline lagoons, benefiting from the global recognition of the Crystal Lagoons® brand.
