Aqualandia is a large water park in Benidorm and one of the best-known water parks on the Costa Blanca. It offers dozens of water attractions, from extreme slides with dizzying drops to family-friendly rides, swimming pools and children's play areas.
The water park is located on the slopes of the Serra Gelada natural area, next to Mundomar, a marine animal park. Aqualandia opened in 1985 and became the first water park in Spain. Over the decades, it has expanded considerably while retaining its reputation as one of Benidorm's main summer attractions. The elevated location offers beautiful views over the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
Today, Aqualandia attracts both adrenaline seekers and families with children. You can spend a whole day here: take on extreme slides, relax by the pools, introduce your children to water-based activities and simply enjoy the summer atmosphere of the resort.
Rides and relaxation areas at Aqualandia
Aqualandia offers more than 15 water attractions designed for visitors of different ages and with different preferences. The park is surrounded by greenery and gardens, providing natural shade for relaxation.
Extreme slides and high-speed descents
The star attraction at Aqualandia is Verti-Go, which consists of two almost vertical slides measuring 28 and 33 metres in height. On the tallest one, the descent lasts just a few seconds, and speeds can exceed 100 km/h. It is one of the park's most impressive attractions, designed for those who enjoy truly thrilling experiences.
Another large-scale attraction is Cyclón. Visitors descend a wide water course more than 200 metres long on a four-person inflatable ring. The route features several bends and drops before ending in a large funnel-shaped section around 20 metres in diameter. The structure reaches a height of 36 metres.
The Big-Bang complex features four slides offering different types of high-speed descent and the sensation of freefall. And if you enjoy enclosed tunnels, try Black Hole — a completely dark water slide tunnel with fast, hidden turns.
Family attractions and children's areas
For those who prefer less extreme activities, Aqualandia offers several options. Zig-Zag features five winding lanes with alternating bends and drops, while Rápidos lets you enjoy a refreshing ride on an inflatable ring. There are also Niágara, Splash and other attractions of moderate intensity.
For younger visitors, there is a dedicated play area called Adventureland, with small slides, water cannons, a ball pool and a children's maze. Another option for family fun is Mini Zig-Zag, adapted for young fans of water slides.
Swimming pools and relaxation areas
For a more relaxing experience, try Amazonas — a slow-moving lazy river with a gentle circular current, where you can float along at your own pace and take a break from the high-speed slides. On a hot day, it's lovely to spend some time in the wave pool. The water gradually gets deeper, while artificial waves create the feeling of swimming in the sea. The park also has another pool, Laguna, and a large hydro-massage complex, Gran Jacuzzi Iguazu, where you can unwind.
Aqualandia has cafés, burger bars, pizzerias and kiosks selling ice cream and waffles. It is also one of the few parks where you are officially allowed to bring your own food and drinks. A special green picnic area is provided for this purpose. The only strict safety restriction is that glass containers and tin cans are not allowed inside the park.
Aqualandia has all the facilities you need for a full day out, including lockers for personal belongings, changing rooms, showers, a medical centre and souvenir shops.
