There’s a surprising location that boasts stretches of white sandy shores and warm temperatures of around 26°C at all times.
It also happens to be Europe’s largest indoor beach.
Tropical Island Resort in Krausnick, Germany is located inside an impressive hangar that stands 107 metres high and measures 360 metres long.
It’s so big it could fit New York’s Statue of Liberty inside, according to its website.
But instead the structure houses a tropical climate complete with a swimming pool, rainforests and water slides.
Visitors are treated with underfloor heating to keep their feet warm and can still catch a tan despite being inside, due to a UV-permeable membrane, so sun cream is recommended.
The water is heated too, and the South Sea measures 28°C while the lagoon is 32°C.
Visitors can sunbathe on a 200-metre-long sandy beach and explore various attractions.
