Dubai Palazzo Versace’s Has Cold Sand And Freezing Waters, Like In Skegness

IT’S hot in Dubai. But at the Palazzo Versace the sands are cool.
A network of pipes beneath the sands contains a heat absorbent coolant.
The swimming pool is refrigerated. Huge fans infect the beach with a chill breeze, wafting the smell of hot cooking fat and sugar over the bathers.
Welcome to Dubai. Welcome to New Skegness.
Says Soheil Abedian, founder and president of Palazzo Versace:
“We 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.”
Top people want to lie on cold sand, in a draft and dip toes in icy waters. Ah, Dubai so bracing!
