When the heat is on, there's only one solution: water and more water.

Let us tell you a story: A group of friends made a mistake many have experienced: trying to survive 38 degrees without air conditioning. The fan wasn't enough, cold drinks disappeared in seconds, and the feeling of being inside an oven was unbearable. Until one of them had a brilliant idea: "What if we go to a water park?" Within minutes, they were already looking for the most exciting options. And what they found didn't disappoint: slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and relaxation areas to recharge energy. All without leaving Valencia.

That's why, if you're looking for the best way to beat the high temperatures while enjoying an unforgettable day, here's the definitive guide to the best water parks in the city and its surroundings.

Which is bigger, Aqualandia or Aquarama?

Let's solve this dilemma, but with style.

There's no need to beat around the bush: Aqualandia, in Benidorm, is bigger. With 150,000 square meters, this water park is one of the largest in Europe. It is, literally, a small world of slides, pools, and attractions that will make you reconsider if water is your new natural habitat.

On the other hand, Aquarama, in Benicàssim, has about 45,000 square meters. Be careful, it's not small, but compared to Aqualandia, it's like pitting a dolphin against a blue whale. Of course, size isn't everything, because Aquarama knows how to play its cards well.

In any case, both are a great plan to release stress and forget about deadlines and unanswered emails for a day. So choose, put on your swimsuit and splash around as if there were no tomorrow.

The water parks in Valencia and its surroundings

A splash in sight?



If you're looking for adrenaline and laughs, water parks are perfect for you. Whether with family or friends, the only rule here is to get wet and have a blast.

Segóbriga Park

If you thought the Romans only built temples and roads, that's because you haven't been here. Located in the heart of Castellón, here there are no Latin speeches, but high-speed slides, adventure pools, and a perfect atmosphere to release daily pressure.

The first thing that will surprise you is its theme inspired by the ancient city of Segóbriga. Don't worry, they won't make you fight gladiators here (although a little competition on the slides isn't bad). But we are sure you will feel like you are entering a place with history as you launch yourself into the water at 180 kilometers per hour. We ask you: Ready to defy gravity?

Here you'll find high-speed slides that will make you scream in every possible language. Amidst so much excitement, a break is also welcome. Sun loungers and umbrellas await you for a well-deserved rest, while in the restaurants and cafes you can recharge your energy with a good meal and refreshing drinks.

Where is it? You'll find it on Camino Monte San Blas, 26, Segorbe (Castellón), a perfect location if you're around Valencia.

Aquapark Rojales

Located in Ciudad Quesada, Rojales (Alicante), this water park is perfect for disconnecting from the real world and immersing yourself in a universe where the only goal is to have a great time.

What awaits you? A bit of everything, and when we say "everything," we mean slides, zen-mode floating pools, and water play areas where fun chaos is guaranteed. It doesn't matter if you're looking for thrills or if you prefer to just let yourself be carried by the waves, there's a special corner here for every type of aquatic adventurer. And since a day at the water park is also about relaxing between splashes, the facilities have sun loungers, umbrellas, and ample rest areas where you can recharge your energy.

Speaking of energy… don't worry about food, here there are restaurants and kiosks with gastronomic options for all tastes.

Aquópolis Cullera

Located on the beautiful coast of Cullera, this water park is the perfect combination of thrills and moments of relaxation. The truth is, there's no room for boredom here. From slides that will make you scream as if you were on a roller coaster, to a wave pool where you can pretend to be a surfer (or just let yourself drift like a happy jellyfish).

But, if you're one of those who seek extreme emotions, get ready to launch yourself at full speed on the wildest slides, where gravity is optional and fun is guaranteed. Of course, this park also has shaded areas, picnic areas, and restaurants where you can regain strength with something delicious (because a good dip works up an appetite).

Aquópolis Torrevieja

We'll start by telling you that this water park is an authentic oasis of fun. You can access slides that defy gravity to quieter areas to relax under the sun. In fact, if you're looking for strong emotions, get ready to launch yourself at full speed, and if you prefer something more chill, then the wave pool or the rest areas with sun loungers and umbrellas will be your best refuge.

The good thing about this park is that it's designed for you to live without worries. There are restaurants and kiosks with food options for all tastes (because, let's be honest, swimming and screaming is ideal for working up an appetite), plus a team of lifeguards and super attentive staff to make sure everything runs smoothly… or, rather, on water.

Located in Torrevieja, one of the liveliest coastal cities in the area, this option is perfect for a summer getaway. You even have the alternative of topping off the day with a good ice cream by the sea.

Aqua Natura Benidorm

Located in a privileged corner of the Costa Blanca, here you not only get wet, you also dive into fun. From slides to wave pools, you'll feel like you're in the middle of the ocean (without the jellyfish, of course).



A golden point is that the facilities have relaxation areas with sun loungers, restaurants with food for all tastes, and bars to have something refreshing after so much action. In addition, security is top-notch, so you have the privilege of spending the day worry-free.

How to get there? Head to Foia del Verdader, 1 (03502) Benidorm, Alicante. Therefore, if you are in Valencia, a short car trip of just over an hour will leave you at the entrance of this aquatic gem.

Polinesia Marina d’Or

If you thought that to experience an adventure on a paradisiacal island you had to cross half the world, well, surprise. Here you immerse yourself in an exotic universe without needing to get on a plane. Even from the moment you set foot in this aquatic paradise, every detail captivates you: palm trees, tropical-style cabins, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes stress dissolve faster than ice cream in the sun.

But don't be fooled by the calm… There's plenty of adrenaline here. If you're more about chill than thrill, there's also space for you to lie in a hammock under the shade of a palm tree, refresh yourself with a tropical cocktail, and feel the sun as if you were on a lost island in the middle of the Pacific. And, speaking of living life to the fullest, hunger also strikes after so much splashing, so you have restaurants and kiosks with unique options to recharge your strength without leaving paradise.

Where is this oasis? Very easy: in Oropesa del Mar, Castellón, specifically at Avenida Barcelona, 118. It's the perfect plan if you're in Valencia and want to escape the routine without going too far.

What happens when the parks close and you need to rest?

This is where Home Hostels Valencia raises its hand and says present. And it is that after a day of emotions, there is nothing better than relaxing in a colorful, comfortable hostel full of good vibes.
