Holidays, sun, the heat, good weather, fun… Sounds good, doesn’t it? When the good weather arrives, there’s nothing we want more than to enjoy a good soak in the open air to escape the heat. We invite you to discover the best water parks on the Costa Brava
At the Campsites of Girona Association, we can’t think of a better option than a refreshing adventure in a water park on a hot summer day. Be it with family or friends these leisure centres are an essential option to beat the heat, while having a great day out with a splash and a good laugh.
There is the incredible adrenaline rush that comes from the many rides in the slides and pools, but that’s not all, because in addition to all these extreme activities there is also something for those who want to relax and enjoy a day of peace and quiet in the bubble pools or kick back in a hammock in the shade of a tree.
So there is no doubt why water parks should be an option for the summer. Now you just need to know which are the best water parks on the Costa Brava and that is what we want to tell you about today.
On the Costa Brava you will not only find wonderful beaches and an endless supply of outdoor activities of all kinds, but it is also one of the biggest water ride destinations in Spain, as its water parks appear year after year in the ranking of the best water parks in Europe.
In total, there are three traditional water parks on the Girona coastline: Aquadiver in Platja d’Aro, AquaBrava in Roses and Waterworld in Lloret de Mar, all three located in popular family destinations on the Costa Brava, so it’s easy to include them in your trips when you spend a few days in the area.
It is also worth remembering that some of the beaches of the most renowned towns on the Costa Brava also have water attractions. There the little ones and the not-so-little have the chance to have a great time in a supervised environment and with all the necessary safety features.
Beyond all of these, however, on the Costa Brava you will also discover several campsites have their own water parks among their facilities that give a twist to the traditional idea of camping.
Hoy en día los campings se han convertido en auténticos templos de diversión y descanso al mismo tiempo, ya que ofrecen todas las comodidades que puedes encontrar en un hotel o apartamento, pero además con actividades para todas las edades e instalaciones tan únicas e impresionantes como los propios parques acuáticos; cosa que los convierte en el alojamiento ideal para familias.
We mentioned them briefly a moment ago, but what do the best water parks on the Costa Brava have to offer? Let’s not make you wait any longer and take a look!
