Mundomar in Benidorm

Mundomar is an unusual marine life and exotic animal park in Benidorm, on the Costa Blanca. Here, you can discover fascinating creatures from both land and sea, see dolphins and sea lions, and watch colourful tropical birds.

Mundomar is located next to the Aqualandia water park, on a green hillside with beautiful views over Benidorm and the Mediterranean Sea. Its grounds resemble a tropical garden, with palm trees, flowering plants, waterfalls and winding paths lined with animal enclosures and pools.

Animals and grounds at Mundomar park

As you explore the park, you'll encounter both familiar animals and unusual species from different parts of the world.

Dolphins, sea lions and other marine animals

The main inhabitants of Mundomar are dolphins and sea lions. You can watch them not only during the shows but also in specially designed pools. These intelligent and sociable animals constantly attract visitors' attention: it's fascinating to watch their movements, play and interactions with one another.

The park is also home to penguins and otters. They are particularly interesting to watch during feeding sessions and when they are actively swimming and playing.

Lemurs, meerkats and other exotic animals

Alongside its marine inhabitants, Mundomar is home to many unusual land animals. You can see lemurs, meerkats, porcupines, armadillos, coatis and giant tortoises here.

Lemurs are particularly captivating: you can spend quite a while watching their agility, curiosity and interactions within the group. Meerkats, constantly surveying their surroundings and standing on their hind legs, usually bring a smile even to adult visitors.

Parrots, flamingos and other exotic birds

A separate part of the park is dedicated to birds. Here, you can see colourful macaws, toucans, flamingos and other exotic birds. Their plumage, unusual beaks and behaviour bring the walk to life. Some birds also take part in special demonstrations, during which visitors can learn more about their abilities and habits.

Dolphin, sea lion and parrot shows

The shows are another important part of a visit to Mundomar. The dolphin show takes place in a large amphitheatre, where visitors can watch spectacular jumps, synchronised movements and the animals interacting with their trainers. It's an opportunity not only to admire the dolphins' agility but also to appreciate their intelligence and distinctive behaviour.

The sea lion show is more playful and lively. These animals demonstrate their agility, perform tricks and interact enthusiastically with their trainers. The parrot show introduces visitors to colourful tropical birds, their intelligence and their ability to follow various commands.

All three shows take place at different times, so it's best to check the schedule in advance and plan your visit to make sure you don't miss the ones you're interested in.

Special programmes and animal encounters

For those who want to get even closer to Mundomar's inhabitants, additional programmes are available. You can take part in feeding sessions with lemurs and penguins, meet exotic birds, have your photo taken with certain animals or try your hand at being a zookeeper.

The dolphin programmes are particularly special. They give you the opportunity to get close to these marine mammals and interact with them under the guidance of specialists.

Rest areas and facilities

The park is designed as a large tropical garden. Walking paths wind among palm trees, flowering plants, rocks and decorative waterfalls. Along the way, you'll come across themed buildings, little bridges, pools and viewing platforms offering convenient spots to watch the animals. With its lush greenery and unusual design, the park feels like a secluded natural haven in the middle of bustling Benidorm.

There are restaurants and kiosks where you can grab a bite to eat during your visit, as well as shops selling souvenirs. Toilets, rest areas and picnic spots are also available for visitors.

Tickets for Mundomar and the latest prices for the new tourist season usually become available closer to spring. The season generally starts in late March and runs until early November.
