A Former Military Air Base Converted Into A Tropical Indoor Beach





Beach-loving holidaymakers can make a trip to Tropical Islands, a tropical beach resort constructed entirely indoors, for a truly unique vacation.



Located in Krausnick, Germany, Tropical Islands is housed in a former Soviet military airbase hangar that originally parked cargo airships—at 360-meters long, 210-meters wide, and 107-meters high, the hangar is tall enough to enclose the Statue of Liberty.



The resort contains a beach, a lagoon , a water slide and an adventure park—numerous restaurants, evening shows and lodging options are also available.



Thousands of visitors visit this unusual resort each day to enjoy the sandy beaches, clear blue water and palm trees—even if the weather is freezing on the outside.
