Overview

Aqualandia is one of Europe's largest water parks, situated on the rugged slopes of the Sierra Helada mountain range in Benidorm. The park utilizes natural seawater to fill its pools and attractions. It features a diverse range of water slides, including Verti-Go, which ranks among the tallest capsule slides in the world. The facility spans over 150,000 square meters of landscaped gardens and sunbathing areas. Attractions are categorized by intensity into children's, moderate, and radical zones to accommodate different thrill-seekers. It maintains an advanced water filtration and recycling system to manage its large-scale aquatic infrastructure. The park is built directly into the hillside, resulting in significant elevation changes between the various pool levels.

Photo spot

The upper observation deck near the start of the Verti-Go slides offers a panoramic view of the entire park and the Benidorm coastline.

Bring a waterproof phone case or lanyard to keep your locker key and essential items secure while moving between pools.
