This lagoon is equivalent to 6.000 standard-size (8-meters (27 ft.) long) swimming pools. It holds the 2007 Guinness World Book of Record, for the largest swimming pool of the world.




LG Sonic® systems, custom made for Crystal Lagoons. 

After San Alfonso del Mar was made, many visitors were attracted to this lagoon. It was a great success, but, Crystal Lagoons Corp. was not completely satisfied yet. Crystal Lagoons Corp. wanted to still fine-tune the system’s water quality and clarity. They needed a system that could control the amount of algae and helps improve the water clarity in an environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective manner.


LG Sound (www.lgsonic.com) manufactured custom made LG Sonic® systems with the specifications of Crystal Lagoons and the compatibility with the Crystal Lagoons unique technology.This LG Sonic system was build in such a manner that a synergistic water treatment effect is also induced when combining this with the patented water treatment system of Crystal Lagoons Corp. After two years of research, Crystal Lagoons Corp. installed 13 LG Sonic® systems custom made for Crystal Lagoons Corp. in the San Alfonso del Mar Lagoon. Crystal Lagoons is very satisfied with the results.Projects of similar and larger dimensions are now in different stages of development.
