The Costa del Sol Water Parks compete with the beaches during the summer months for visitors eager to spend a day of refreshing fun, offering large fresh water pools, with a host of water attractions for the entire family.
If you are willing to shell out a considerable amount paying the entrance fee for a family of 4, you can be enjoying all kinds of slides, children’s areas, relaxation areas and of course a variety of restaurants.
You don’t even have to bring your sun cream, because (depending on the water park) you can also buy it there, along with your swimming costume.
We present you the three big water parks on the Costa del Sol, as well as another equally fun modality, the floating water parks, come and join us!
Costa del Sol Water Parks
AquaMijas
This water park, although it belongs to Mijas Costa, is actually situated in Fuengirola.
This water park for the whole family offers lots of fun.
Among the 12 attractions available, the most daring from 7 years old can try the Kamikaze, a dizzying 17-metre high slide, go down the Rio Bravo, or go round and round in the Crazy Loop, a labyrinth of slides, here you can see them all!
If you fancy something quieter and suitable for all ages, try the Diver Dragon or the soft tracks!
Of course there is also a water play area and a paddling pool for the youngest members of the family, and also a large pool with water jets and bubbles to relax in.
Or enjoy the Lago Azul, a large and quiet pool where you can also enjoy water activities led by instructors, and last but not least there is a large wave pool.
In the water park there is a wide range of food on offer with a bar, a cafeteria and a self-service restaurant, as well as a kiosk next to the picnic area with pizzas, soft drinks, ice creams, juices and much more.
In the restaurant there is a wide range of hamburgers, salads, pizzas, fish & chips, sandwiches, fruit, children’s menus and options for vegetarians, coeliacs and other food intolerances.

Aqualand Torremolinos
At Aqualand in Torremolinos there is guaranteed fun for all tastes and ages, of course.
If you like adrenaline and speed, you can choose from more than 10 attractions that will take your breath away, such as the Boomerang, a huge 15-metre half pipe with a vertiginous drop, the Black Hole, a 12-metre-long dark tube-shaped slide or the Kamikaze, a 22-metre slide with a huge drop, just to name a few to make you feel your pulse racing as soon as you read this.
If you go with the kids, then you also have a paradise for them in several slides, hanging bridges and designed with total safety and a team of lifeguards who watch over the little ones.
Of course you can’t miss the large wave pool with a height of more than one metre.
Or simply relax in the bubble pool or in the shade in the garden area.
So much water activity works up an appetite and inside the park there are several fast food outlets serving pizzas, salads, hot dogs or sandwiches and there is even a restaurant with a wide variety of dishes.
If at the last minute you need a swimming costume or sunscreen or any other clothing related to a day in the sun and water, you can buy them in the gift shop.

Floating water parks
If you like to have fun right on the beach instead of having to an enclosed area, floating water parks are the option for you.
These are temporary installations of inflatable water parks with large water slides, anchored close to the shore.
