Holidays with a biological pool or swimming pond are an option that many have not yet tried. It would be worth it! In Portugal, there are already more than 60 tourist developments, from North to South, that offer this experience to their guests.

We imagine a silent night, like in the photo, with a calm water surface and mirroring the stars reflected in it. We imagine ourselves alone in the universe, in front of the water mirror under the dome of stars, because all this conveys a feeling of silence. Suddenly, a cry, an animal, a sound [...]
As with many insect species, the life of a dragonfly is divided into two phases: the juvenile, which is the aquatic larval state, and the adult, in which they fly in the air, above the water. The transition between the juvenile and adult phases is the most dangerous period in a dragonfly's life. This [...]

For Chinese sages, the element of water meant energy. Thus, in garden planning, it was considered a beneficial element, because it allows the environment to be energized through its various virtues. And they are right. A water point in the garden is attractive and draws all our attention. We can hardly take our eyes [...]
From the perspective of the user of a biological pool, waterfalls are a visual attraction due to their diversity in shapes and colors and especially due to the sound effect of dripping water. In summer, rain at home, without getting wet, brings a very pleasant feeling of freshness. Waterfalls in biological pools are always [...]
It is clear that biological pool designers work a lot with aquatic plant species.
