Aqualandia - Benidorms Largest Fun Bath (until the swimwear slips!!)

You will need nothing more than a good fitting bathing costume, a towel and a desire to plunge into the millions and millions of litres of water that flow through Aqualandia in Benidorm to enjoy a day out at this Water Park.

At Aqualandia you can ride one of the highest water chutes in Europe: reaching a height of 30 meters with a gradient of 66 per cent, you plunge down one of the four fibreglass tubes submerged in the water. The Big Bang is a green tunnel-like tube with three open tracks coloured yellow, blue and red. Directly alongside this lies The Splash. The bather sits on a plastic carpet, lying face down and facing forward, and travels like a bombshell down the route, comprising of six "roads", towards the main pool.

Comprising 14 pools, 27 water chutes and 10 play areas for children set in the midst of a green oasis, Aqualandia promises hours of enjoyment. When it opened in 1985 the Park was by far the largest of its kind in the whole of Spain: 200,000 square metres in total with many green areas, domestic plantsand shady palm trees that provide the ideal place for a picnic. Those who have tried all the rides, starting with The Black Hole, Easy Trails and Rapids, can progress to the high speed Zig Zag and Kamikaze rides where no eating beforehand is recommended! More than 60 lifeboats are on hand for the security of the bathers. For children under 1.25 metres high riding the chutes are forbidden, and the same applies to visitors with heart conditions, pregnant woman and people with any limbs in plaster.
