The post MOUNTAIN VIEW GRAND RESORT & SPA PARTNERS WITH WISE & WELL TO INTRODUCE NEW WELLNESS WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTING TOWER SPA’S RE-IMAGINED SPA PHILOSOPHY AND MENU appeared first on Food and Travel Magazine.

The centerpiece of the new development is a large crystalline lagoon, suitable for swimming and water sports, accessible to all through ticketed entry. The lagoon is surrounded by 11,000 m² of white sandy beaches, restaurants, beach bars, terraces, sports and events areas, exhibition halls, green areas, and bespoke services that will complement the lagoon, epitomizing the quintessential PAL® experience.

The complex forms part of the Central District Lagoon City megaproject , which also features a 5-star Radisson hotel with 323 rooms and 400 luxury apartments for rent, 8,200 m² of class A office space, retail areas, restaurants, cinemas, a sky bar and spa.

The project is being developed in partnership with Forty Management, a renowned and award-winning Romanian firm with which the multinational innovation company has already built projects in Italy, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.

With this new complex, Crystal Lagoons is bringing idyllic beach life to an iconic Mediterranean European city. Through the PAL® model, the company will revolutionize the experience quality of life of the people of Bucharest, providing an attractive entertainment experience to the area, and transforming it into a successful leisure destination.

“Throughout the world, and particularly in Europe, PAL® projects are known for their appealing and disruptive innovative urban approach, bringing a piece of the ocean to cities, a phenomenon similar to what happened 200 years ago in England, when the first urban parks were created in London, bringing a forest experience to the city,” said Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

The environmental impact of Crystal Lagoons® technology was a core element of the multiple projects developed in partnership with Forty Management, which valued the 40% reduction in carbon footprint that PAL® projects offer, which reduced the number of trips made to coastal destinations by around 50%, as people can enjoy beach life closer to home.

Crystal Lagoons currently has more than 1,000 projects ongoing at different stages of development and negotiations in 60 countries.

About Crystal Lagoons

Crystal Lagoons is a US-based company that has developed a technology allowing crystalline lagoons of unlimited sizes to be built and maintained at very low costs anywhere.

With over 2,900 patents in 180 countries, its sustainable amenities use up to 100 times fewer chemicals and only 2% of the energy required by conventional swimming pools. Bureau Veritas verified the technology’s efficient water use, concluding that a 1-Ha/2.5-ac lagoon utilizes 33 times less water than a golf course and 40% less water than a park of the same size. Crystal Lagoons® amenities can use sea, fresh, and brackish water, which is abundant and has no other use.

Uptown Greenwood is a great example of a smaller city thinking big. It has emerged once again as a key economic driver for the city, despite the distinctive challenge of forging a sense of community from an area that was once divided by railroad tracks, and then hundreds of feet of blacktop. By modernizing the downtown (including free WiFi) while keeping an eye on the historic character of Main Street, Uptown Greenwood truly embodies its mission of “Embracing the future and preserving the past.” Over the last 15 years, Uptown has seen a huge increase in retail and dining options, including boutiques, craft breweries, and restaurants.

From upscale cuisine to good old-fashioned burgers, Greenwood has over 200 restaurants, including lakefront dining on Lake Greenwood. Greenwood’s most recent culinary campaign, A World of Flavor, highlights the diversity of cuisine across the area and allows visitors a “sneak peek” of dining options across the county. For the BBQ lover, Greenwood offers its annual SC Festival of Discovery featuring BBQ and blues during the second weekend each July.

Boating, swimming, skiing, fishing—all of the traditional water activities are in play at Lake Greenwood. Live music, nearby restaurants with casual waterfront dining, and July 4th fireworks. Sandy beaches for volleyball and swimming add to the fun. Boat rentals for leisurely cruises are also available and for those who’d like to sit back and let someone else do the driving, boat tours are available as well.

Fishermen flock there for catfish, bass, and crappie. Fishing tournaments are a frequent event. Lake Greenwood State Park provides water access and camping facilities. A three-mile walk and bike trail gives visitors a view from the land. The Lake Greenwood Blueway Trail, a 34-mile trail for paddling, has brought kayakers, canoers, and other water lovers to the area.
For the historian, Greenwood’s rich railroad history is chronicled with the Railroad Historical Center. Open throughout the spring and summer months, the center offers visitors a look at numerous locomotives, dining cars, sleeping cars, and even an executive car used to transport textile CEO’s and customers throughout the Southeast.

The Benjamin E. Mays Historic Preservation Site, located behind what once was the African American hospital for the community, offers visitors a peek at the early childhood and life of Dr. Benjamin E. Mays. Coming from impoverished, humbled beginnings, Dr. Mays rose to become one of the greatest international leaders of his generation. A lifelong educator, mentor to numerous presidents such as Kennedy and Carter, Dr. Mays retired as President of Morehouse College. The Mays Site serves as a reflection to those who seek success that education, determination, and hard work are the essential tools for breaking the walls of poverty and building the ladder to self-sufficiency.

As the nation prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War, history abounds at the Ninety-Six National Historic Site. The site, which is a part of the National Park Service, documents key battles and skirmishes based at the “Star Fort”, the earthen fort built by soldiers for protection. The site also hails as one of the first areas to see a bloodshed battle in South Carolina during the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

Locally owned restaurants are plentiful – many are family-owned with multiple generations on staff. This makes the dining experience extra special with locally sourced food, fresh ingredients, seasonal menus, and customized dishes. In late February each year, the community’s delicious dining scene is celebrated with Kenosha Restaurant Week.

Come for the food and stay to explore! Downtown Kenosha is located just steps from Lake Michigan. Its shopping and dining district is a mix of historic charm and modern vibes, with multiple opportunities to get on the water. Ride an authentic Electric Streetcar along the harbor!

Kenosha is a community full of history and culture. Three historic districts are listed on the National Register of Historic Places – with a fourth one listed as a locally designated historic district. A plaque in the Library Park Historic District notes the 1915 birthplace of acclaimed actor, writer, director, and producer Orson Welles.

Within a one-mile radius are five memorable museums. At the Civil War Museum, learn the contributions of the Upper Middle West – Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, and Ohio – to the Civil War. View “Seeing the Elephant” which focuses on the personal experiences and accounts of citizen soldiers. The museum is one of just a handful of venues nationwide using 360-degree movie technology. Broadcast journalist Bill Kurtis is the narrator.

Dive into Kenosha’s extensive automotive history at the Kenosha History Center. Currently on display is the 1962 Rambler American from the “3rd Rock from the Sun” television show, which is part of the museum’s collection. The next Kenosha Homecoming Car Show, hosted by the museum, will be held in July 2025.
