Dubai Resort Prevents Scorched Feet with Refrigerated Sand
The luxury hotel is set to open sometime in the next 12 - 24 months, and will use the underground cooling system plus a series of fans to keep the ultra-rich from getting overheated while they bathe in the sun. The impacts of such lavish excesses remain to be seen, but it's hard to believe the hotel's claims that the beach is "environmentally sustainable." [From: Mail Online]

With enough money, anything is possible. Dubai seems to have all of it.

Their probably using geothermal heat pumps, with pipes running under the sand, then out into the ocean where the water temperature is always just about freezing, then back again. A company called Enwave uses that system in Toronto to cool a number of large office towers.

Cornell University uses this system to cool a lot of their buildings during the summer months with water from the bottom part of a nearby lake. This technology is probably far more widespread and environmentally friendly than most realize.
