The following are just two of the company’s lagoons mentioned, which also happen to be the world’s largest, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

#1 Citystars Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt)

As of 2015, Citystars Sharm El Sheikh is the official Guinness World Record holder for the largest manmade crystalline lagoon. Spanning over a total of 30 acres, white sand beaches surround the seawater, crystalline lagoon, which offers opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and sailing. The lagoon is part of a renowned Sharm El Sheikh resort. Located in the Sinai desert, one of the world’s driest, the firm founded by Fernando Fischmann uses unique, patented sustainable technology.

Biochemist turned businessman, Fernando Fischmann, who developed the concept and technology behind Crystal Lagoons, San Alfonso del Mar was the Guinness World Record holder, prior to its Egyptian counterpart. It covers a distance of 20 acres and allows residents to enjoy swimming and other water sports in a safe environment, as the nearby sea is renowned for its dangerous water current.
