The luxurious, hot and happening place on the globe is in news again. This time, its the world shattering refrigerated beach next to the new Palazzo Versace hotel due to open late next year or early 2010. Dubai’s scorching 40-50C heat never disheartened the filthy rich holidaymakers from taking pleasure in its sands.  Soheil Abedian, president of Palazzo Versace figured out an alluring way to compliment it!

The beach would feature an array of heat-absorbing pipes under its sands, gigantic wind blowers, and a cooled swimming pool, all of which are under the control of thermostats linked to computers. However, the sumptuous project has triggered speculation from Tourism Concern officials, who claim that the city always ignored the on-going climate change all over the world and people still continue with their destructive lifestyles. Nevertheless, Versace backs the project saying that it would be environmentally sustainable.

The 10-storey hotel supervised by a British firm, Hyder Consulting is expecting to catch the attention of at least some of the 800,000 Brits who visit Dubai every year. Versace is planning a chain of fifteen similar hotels, probably around the world. Though the commons like most of us might not even see one of them, the wealthy supple-footers would definitely have a blast in the beach!
