Imagine lounging on a pristine beach, feeling the warm sand between your toes, and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. But what if you could take it to the next level and experience the beach in air-conditioned comfort?
In the Maldives, the Soneva Fushi resort features an air-conditioned beachside lounge where guests can relax in style. The lounge is equipped with comfortable seating and stunning ocean views.
From the comfort of the lounge, you can watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean, or enjoy a refreshing cocktail while listening to the sound of the waves. It's the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Maldives.
In Dubai, the Atlantis, The Palm resort offers an air-conditioned beach experience with its private beach and pool area. Guests can enjoy the sun, sand, and sea while staying cool and comfortable.
Palazzo Versace's Beach Experience
The Palazzo Versace's beach experience is a game-changer for luxury travelers. Palazzo Versace's refrigerated beach will feature a network of coolant-containing pipes beneath the hotel's beach, keeping the sand cool and comfortable for sunbathing.
Guests at the Palazzo Versace hotel will be able to sunbathe in comfort, thanks to the innovative cooling system. Summer temperatures in Dubai can reach a scorching 122 degrees, making sand painfully hot, but this won't be a problem for Palazzo Versace's guests.
The refrigerated beach will be located next to the new Palazzo Versace hotel, which is due to open late next year or early 2010. The hotel will also feature a cooled swimming pool and thermostats linked up to computers to control the temperature.
Soheil Abedian, president of Palazzo Versace, said that the hotel will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on. This is the kind of luxury that top people want, he added.

Technological Solutions for Cooling
In the scorching heat of the Middle East, one reported solution is to run coolant pipes under the beach to draw the heat out of the sand.
Coolant pipes can bring the temperature of the sand to a comfortable level, making it a viable option for air conditioned beaches.
Sea water itself can be used to cool the sand, either on its own or in conjunction with a refrigeration/air conditioner system.
By using sea water, we can harness the natural cooling properties of the ocean to keep the sand cool.
Forcing air conditioned exhaust air from hotel and residential buildings under the beach is another way to achieve cool sands, as reported by some sources.
Dubai's Refrigerated Beach
The world's first refrigerated beach is being built next to the Palazzo Versace hotel in Dubai.
Summer temperatures in Dubai can reach a scorching 122 degrees, making sand painfully hot to walk on.
Guests at the Palazzo Versace hotel will be able to sunbathe in comfort thanks to a network of coolant-containing pipes beneath the hotel's beach.
The refrigerated beach will include a system of heat-absorbing pipes built under the sand and giant wind blowers to keep tourists cool in the searing 40-50C heat.
Each person living in Dubai has a significant carbon footprint of more than 44 tons of CO2 a year.
This luxury amenity is designed to cater to the super rich who want pure luxury and don't want to walk on scalding sand.
