1. Super Aqualandia, Benidorm

Perched on a hillside overlooking Benidorm, Super Aqualandia is the undisputed champion of Costa Blanca water parks. This massive complex boasts 15 water slides, including the highest slide in Europe and the world's tallest capsule slide.

With a wave pool, rock formations for swimming and jumping and multiple pools for the littlest kids, there's something for everyone. Don't forget to check out the restaurant and bar options, as well as the lockers with phone chargers.

The children's pools are surrounded by numerous sun loungers (additional cost applies). Otherwise, free shaded spots on the grassy areas are quite limited, so make sure you arrive early if you want to get a space.

2. Aqua Natura, Benidorm

Located in the heart of Benidorm, Aqua Natura is a modern water park that's perfect for families. With a range of slides, water attractions and themed pools, there's no shortage of fun to be had.

The Little Turtles Pool is a must-visit for younger kids, while the Mermaid School offers a unique experience where kids can learn to swim with a mermaid tail.

Combined tickets are available with Terra Natura Zoo next door, making it a great value.

3. Aquopolis, Torrevieja

Conveniently located on the edge of Torrevieja city centre near the N-332, Aquopolis is the largest and best water park on the Orihuela Costa. With a variety of large water slides, a wave pool and a lazy river, thrill-seekers and families will love this park.

The grassy areas surrounding the children's pools are perfect for setting up a camp for the day, providing shade and a place for kids to retreat when needed.

If you need a refreshment, the park has several restaurant and bar areas to enjoy. There are plenty of lounge chairs and Balinese beds spread throughout the park to sit on (for an additional cost).

The park can get quite busy during peak summer times, meaning some of the more popular attractions can result in long queues.

4. Flamingo Water Park, Torrevieja

This smaller water park, located in the La Siesta urbanisation of Torrevieja, is geared towards younger kids. The central children's pool with small slides and water spray attractions is surrounded by shaded sun loungers and tables - a great spot to relax and watch the kids play.

There is also a café/bar on site.

While not as large as some of the other parks, Flamingo Water Park is a fun and laid-back option with minimal queues.

5. Parque Acuatico, Ciudad Quesada

Located just outside Rojales, Parque Acuatico is the second-oldest water park in Spain, but still offers a fun experience for visitors.

With 4 larger slides, a children's pool and a natural hillside location, this park is an inland hidden gem. While not as large as some of the other parks, it's often less crowded, making it a great option for those seeking a more relaxed experience.

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just looking for a fun day out with the family, these 5 water parks on the Costa Blanca are sure to provide an unforgettable experience.

So grab your sunscreen, towel and sense of adventure, and dive into the fun.
