Dubai will soon hold another world record – this time for the largest man-made lagoon in the world.
Crystal Lagoons has signed a deal to construct the world’s largest man-made lagoon, covering 400,000m2, almost four-times bigger than the world’s largest existing lagoon.
The feature is to be located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District One residential community, located in the heart of Dubai, with the lagoon to form an integral part of the $7bn project.
“Our pioneering concept and state-of-the-art technology, which allows for sustainable, swimmable, turquoise lagoons of unlimited sizes to be built and maintained at low cost anywhere in the world, is proving extremely popular with our growing list of partners across the Middle East,” said Kevin P Morgan, CEO, Crystal Lagoons.
“Dubai gives us an outstanding strategic position in the Middle East, and the opportunity to participate in a world-class development that adds prestige to our current project portfolio,” he added.
The new lagoon will feature custom-made beaches, and offer scope for swimming, water sports and other water based leisure activities.
With the announcement of its new Dubai project, Crystal Lagoons is also on the way to securing its third Guinness World Records’ title for the world’s largest swimming pool, having previously secured the accolade for its work San Alfonso del Mar, Chile, and Sharm El Sheik, Egypt.
