Palazzo Versace, a luxury hotel being built in Culture Village, has hired Hyder Consulting to cool the hot sand on the resort’s beaches. Here’s a quote from the president of Palazzo Versace to explain things a little further: “We will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on.”
