Where are the best water parks in Torrevieja?

• Center: just 5 minutes-drive from the city center, you will find one of the best water parks in the province. You will be surprised by the amount of attractions there are, and what is best, is that they’re adapted so that everyone can enjoy them, from the youngest to the oldest. All of them are differentiated according to the excitement and adrenaline you are going to experience at the moment. And there is nothing like feeling your heart rate accelerate as you jump down a slide of more than 20 meters high and reach a speed of 31 miles per hour (50 km/h). In addition, you can spend the whole day here, since it has all the amenities among which you will find several cafes and restaurants that will make you recover all your strength, Balinese loungers where you can rest while you catch the best rays of sun, and even a jacuzzi that will allow you to find that moment of relaxation after the frenetic slides.

• La Siesta: in one of the most exclusive urbanizations of Torrevieja is located a water park considered one of the best in Spain, so it won’t leave you indifferent and you will spend an unforgettable day with your loved ones. You will slide down its colorful fast slides until you dive into a huge pool and you will have the opportunity to do it on one of its comfortable inflatables accompanied by your best friend or alone. Here you are the one who decide. You can jump into the water as many times as you want and spend a day of unlimited fun. If you come with your family and the grown-ups don't feel like going on the rides, while you have fun, they can wait for you relaxing in the hammocks or having a drink in the cafeteria.

• Glea beach: if you have come to spend the day at the beach and you are not a fan of the usual water parks, this beach is the perfect option for you. As we said, it is not a water park as we know in which the slides reach a dizzying height, but it is an inflatable platform that floats near the shore. This is one of the main differences, that you do not dive into a freshwater pool, but your fall from the slide ends in the sea. It is undoubtedly the ideal activity for the little ones who do not yet feel ready to go down the high slides. In addition, thanks to the lifeguards, they will feel safe at all times.

What attractions are there in the water parks of Torrevieja?

As you know, in the water parks of Torrevieja there is room for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, to enjoy a day full of fun. The attractions are varied and depending on the level of adrenaline you are willing to feel, you can approach one or another.

If you are one of those who want to live an experience of the most frenetic, you can’t miss the fast slides where you will jump from 20 meters high and reaching a speed of 31 miles per hour (50 km/h) while sliding down the water. Another mandatory stop will be the black hole, a thrilling slide 110 meters long where you will take the best curves and that will make the uncertainty and excitement will take over you at all times, since being a closed structure you can’t see the route or know when the end will come. And if you want to bring out your adventurous spirit and test your strength, a zip line jump over the pool will make you have the time of your life.

For those who come with the family and prefer to experience something more relaxed and peaceful, the best thing to do is to take a dip in the Jacuzzis, which will make you feel the tingling of the water jets on your body and that light massage that will put you in zen mode. Or dive into the pool and simulate that you are traveling along the Amazon River while the gentle current guides you through a 180-meter course. In addition, the little ones can go to the minipark or live a magical experience from a refreshing enchanted lake.

Who can go to a water park in Torrevieja?

Everybody! We have already told you that anyone can come and enjoy the water park facilities, whether it's on the rides or spending a relaxing day lying in the hammocks and sunbathing. However, there is something you should know and that is that not all the attractions are suitable for all ages. But this is not a problem! Because you have already been able to verify that you will always find the activity that fits your conditions. In any case, what you have to take into account is that in many attractions you have to meet certain requirements such as having to be over 1'20 meters tall, a maximum weight of 17 stone (110 kilos) and that all children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

What do I have to bring to a water park?

Of course, swimwear and all the changes of clothes you think you will need during the day, since you will spend many hours submerged in the water and maybe at some point you will want to stop for lunch and you will be uncomfortable with a wet bathing suit. Another thing we recommend is to bring plenty of sunscreen, because, even if you are in the water and you won’t notice it, you will be catching the sun at all times and it is very important to protect your skin. And if you are one of those who can’t live without posing and want to be the envy of all your followers, a waterproof phone case is something that can’t miss in your backpack. In addition, it is recommended that you avoid bringing valuables, but in case you do, you don't have to worry about anything, because you can leave your belongings in the security lockers and continue enjoying yourself without any problems.

We hope this little guide has been useful and that you are looking forward to going to one of the water parks in Torrevieja to have a great time, we are already waiting for you!
