Popular Hotels With Waterparks
Hotels With Waterparks
There are a lot of hotels in Europe that feature a water park of some sort, from a small slide and kids pool activity area, to full on donut style and speed rides. These are great hotels to book, especially if you have active kids or you just can't face laying by the pool all day. Here are a couple of our best hotels with waterparks:
In Turkey, the Aqua Fantasy Aquapark is a five-star resort near Kusadasi, offering over 25 water slides plus lots of other activities. Hugely popular with families, the hotel is also close to the beach for a more tranquil day out playing in the sand and the surf should you get bored of the park and the pool.
In Majorca, the Globales Bouganvilla Hotel in Sa Coma offers guests exclusive access to its Splash World water park which opened in 2016. A variety of slides await you and the hotel's main pool is separate so you can still relax there if you wanted to. The hotel also offers one and two bedroom apartments, perfect for families looking for self catering waterpark holidays.
Many hotels will also offer smaller splash parks, which can sometimes be like mini waterparks. These can be a brilliant alternative if the hotel or area you that you want to book isn't close to a bigger park, but still offers a smaller number of water slides, especially for toddlers and young children.

Booking A Holiday
Before booking a holiday, you should check the latest travel advice, and to ensure you're staying safe and healthy abroad, the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office provide the latest travel information online. Inlight of the latest Coronavirus pandemic, it's also important to make sure you book with travel companies which are protected by the ATOL scheme or ABTA bonded. This applies when booking flight inclusive holidays but not all brands are financially protected in this way. Take a look at top brands including easyJet, TUI, Jet2 and First Choice, as well as Thomas Cook, Teletext where you should receive an ATOL certificate when booking. Most holidays featured on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme.
You may also be able to save money by booking last minute or securing a waterpark holiday with free child place deals. These are a great way to keep the cost of your family holiday down, especially if you're looking at an all inclusive board basis.
Always check the latest FCDO travel advice before you book and travel on holiday.
