Swimming pools are a thing of the past. That’s the message from Crystal Lagoons, a global leader in water innovation, as they launch their most disruptive concept yet: Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™, a compact amenity designed to transform developments into beach-front oases.
Crystal Lagoons has been recognized worldwide for creating stunning crystalline lagoons that turn any project into a resort-style destination for nearly two decades. This vision is now being extended to a broader range of developments across South Florida, from the vibrant urban centers of Miami and Fort Lauderdale to the growing communities in West Palm Beach and the Florida Keys.
Targeted to fit spaces under 1 acre, including a new size down to 0.5 acre, this amenity makes the idyllic beach lifestyle accessible to residential, multifamily, and hotel projects without the massive footprint or high investment traditionally associated with significant water features.
A Smart Solution for South Florida Developers
The real estate and hospitality sectors in South Florida are under constant pressure to stand out. Whether it’s a new master-planned community in Broward County, a multifamily project in Downtown Miami, or a boutique hotel in Key West, developers seek unique, sustainable amenities that will enhance appeal without inflating costs or straining the environment.
Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ provide the perfect solution, combining innovation, sustainability, and profitability in a new, compact format. These crystalline lagoons cost eight times less to build than traditional pools of the same size and generate far greater appeal, offering a unique selling point in a highly competitive market.
“We are excited to bring this sustainable and profitable product to Florida. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ are an ideal solution for developers who want to offer a unique, differentiating amenity that provides a resort-like feel without traditional pools' high construction and maintenance costs,"
A Game-Changer for Multifamily Projects
Multifamily developments, especially in dense urban areas like Brickell or Wynwood in Miami, often have tight constraints on space and budgets. In these competitive markets, a traditional pool may not be enough to attract and retain residents. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ step in to create a resort-style environment, significantly increasing rental appeal, resident satisfaction, and long-term retention. Today’s renters, from young professionals to families, are looking for experiential living—and the sought-after beach lifestyle is a compelling draw.
These lagoons can also serve as community hubs, hosting events, water sports, and social gatherings that foster a sense of community, a key factor for long-term occupancy.
More Than a Pool, a Destination
While pools offer seasonal refreshment, they rarely add long-term value. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ transform every square foot into an experience. With turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lagoon-side programming, they turn underused land into a stunning year-round destination—perfectly suited for Florida’s climate.
These lagoons become a magnet for residents and tourists, boosting sales velocity, raising property values, and increasing hotel occupancy rates.
