Insider tips

Bring non-slip water shoes, as the concrete decks can become very hot under the Mediterranean sun.

Arrive early to secure a sun lounger near the main wave pool, as shaded spots are claimed quickly.

Use waterproof pouches for phones or cameras to protect devices from incidental splashes.

What to avoid

Avoid arriving during peak midday heat without adequate sun protection, as the park offers limited natural shade in many areas.

Good to know

Open seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during winter months.

Etiquette

Appropriate swimwear is required; street clothes are generally prohibited on water slides. Follow all lifeguard signals regarding body position on slides.
