The best hotels with water parks in Spain
Hotels with water parks invite you to have fun and live the moment during your holidays, especially when you have the happy challenge of travelling with young children. If, in addition, these accommodations (which are unlike any other) are enjoyed with a shared sense of adventure, where outdoor movement is energised with large doses of wellness, hedonism and discovery, your getaway will become an unbeatable opportunity to keep the whole family active and connected. At the following hotels with water parks and children’s pools, located in some of Spain's most inspiring beach destinations, you can experience this for yourself.
Hotels with water parks in Spain
Iberostar Waves Club Cala Barca
Iberostar Club Cala Barca is one of those hotels with water slides we are referring to. Both its atmosphere and its design will leave you speechless. It is located in Mallorca, in the SantanyĂ area, next to Cala Barca Trencada and very close to the MondragĂł Natural Park. Of its ten pools, five are for children. They will have a great time exploring its pirate ship, sliding down its water tubes or jumping in its recently installed aquatic rubber bubble. You can complete your stay with hiking routes in the surrounding area suitable for all ages; and, in the case of the little ones, also with the Star Camp calendar, aimed at awakening their imagination and environmental awareness through play. Monkey offers specific activities for children aged 4 to 7, Dolphin for those aged 7 to 12 and Eagle for teenagers aged 13 to 17.
Iberostar Waves Cala Domingos
The Iberostar Cala Domingos hotel will welcome you to Calas de Mallorca, an institution for families with children looking to spend their holidays in full contact with the Mediterranean nature. Most of its rooms are bungalow-style cottages, something that will bring extra comfort and intimacy to your stay. Its children's pool, presided over by figures of colourful fish and other incredible marine animals, is a reflection of the love for the oceans and the sustainable vocation that you can breathe in this accommodation. As in the rest of the Iberostar hotels, single-use plastics have been eliminated in all the facilities. In addition, its restaurants prioritise high quality local ingredients, as well as the consumption of fish and seafood from responsible fishing sources, in order to continue contributing to the protection of the sea and coasts.
Iberostar Waves Royal Andalus
Wherever you go, your suitcase when travelling with children to seaside destinations with water parks should include a swimming costume and comfortable, submersible footwear so that they can swim and play comfortably in the sea and in the pool. Iberostar Royal Andalus is an All Inclusive accommodation with a family soul located on the seafront of La Barrosa Beach, in Cadiz. From here you will have direct access to what is one of the best beaches in Andalusia, awarded for its ecological balance and the quality of its waters and sand. The resort's facilities include a children's pool area with a design inspired by the ancient Vikings, where there is also room for friendly dragons and other creatures that recreate a magical world. There are no barriers when it comes to imagination. Its adapted rooms will provide you with a comfortable stay, close to each other and full of happy memories.
Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park
Do you want more hotels with water parks to discover the Spanish islands? Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park, a hotel which, in this case, is located in the Canary Islands. It was designed by the artist CĂ©sar Manrique, who left his unmistakable stamp on the entire complex. The exteriors, in the shape of connected semicircles, emulate the traditional Lanzarote souks, which seem to open their arms and your gaze to the ocean to offer you one of the most impressive panoramic views of Playa Blanca. In the Aquafun area, the children will have their own volcano, which does not crown a bed of lava but of water so that, while having fun, they too can feel the energy of the earth. From there you will have the chance to visit some of the best natural pools in Lanzarote, where the passing of the centuries and the action of the waves have been building other types of works of art using the volcanic materials of the seabed.
Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park
If your family likes hotels with water parks, they will probably also enjoy water sports, such as snorkelling or surfing, which are suitable for all ages and levels. The conditions on some of Fuerteventura's best beaches are ideal to combine active exercise and relaxation. From the JandĂa peninsula, an earthly paradise framed by coves of all kinds, Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas Park will give you access to its long beach of golden sand and crystal-clear water. The hotel is in the process of being redesigned in the summer of 2024, in order to host one of the most stimulating and complete family stays in Spain. It already has adapted rooms and three outdoor swimming pools, one of which is a children's pool with slides.
Hotels with children's pools
Iberostar Selection Albufera Park
In hotels with children's pools such as Iberostar Selection Albufera Park, which is part of the recently renovated Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort, in Mallorca, no detail is left to chance. From its maritime aesthetics, inspired by the richness of the fauna and flora that surrounds it, to its family philosophy or its leisure proposal for all ages (which includes the Star Camp children's programme), everything in this accommodation is designed to make your next family holiday unforgettable. Among its seven swimming pools, there is a children's pool with slides and a giant ball to jump into, as well as a splash pool. A complementary plan? Rent some bicycles at the hotel to go on an excursion to the S'Albufera de Mallorca Nature Reserve, just a few steps away.
Iberostar Waves Pinos Park
Iberostar Pinos Park is located in a quiet pine forest in Majorca, a place of calm and pure expression of nature where you will enjoy the privilege of staying in one of the most beautiful natural forests in the world. It is the Balearic Mediterranean grove, with its aromatic herbs, its endemic shrubs and trees and its impossible greenery. Specifically, the accommodation is located in the area of Capdepera, a picture-postcard setting. The hotel's spacious rooms have a separate lounge, fridge and microwave so that you can store and warm up the babies' bottles or keep the older children's favourite snacks close at hand. In addition to its Aquafun area, where fantastic creatures inhabit waterfalls and slides, there is also a play area with a zip wire, swing park and multi-sports court with football and tennis to offer you even more new and stimulating holiday activities for children.
Iberostar Malaga Beach
Malaga is an endless destination. And also, thanks to its various tourist areas, its villages and its coastal and mountain landscapes, one of the most complete. There is also no shortage of hotels with slides, such as Iberostar Waves Málaga Playa. The decoration is inspired by Andalusian culture, with rooms and facilities in permanent interaction with a landscaped exterior with the aroma of the sea. Although you will establish your base of operations on the beachfront, you can change the scenery for a few hours to visit some of Andalusia's essential natural parks, including the Sierra de las Nieves. Its Pinsapo de las Escaleretas, a tree between 350 and 550 years old and more than 26 metres high, has been recognised as a natural monument for its environmental importance. This protected habitat is also home to some of Spain's most endangered animals, such as the majestic eagles, which can be ethically sighted along with other birds.
Iberostar Waves Bouganville Playa
On Tenerife's Costa Adeje, and in harmony with the volcanic geography of the hotel, the Aquafun area of the Iberostar Bouganville Playa emulates the dunes, rocks and trees (which could well be pine trees or dragon trees, one of the most representative protected plant species of the Canary Islands) of its surroundings. But in a water park version. The slides in the children's pool wind through the vibrant tones of its own playscape; as well as the surrounding scenery. This design will delight young and old alike. Among many other services, you will find a bike station at the accommodation where you can rent bicycles or store and repair them. The aim is to make it easy for you to practice sport while relaxing together in the sun: the good weather all year round will accompany you.
Iberostar Selection Anthelia
To close this selection of hotels with children's pools, a definitive accommodation. We continue on to Costa Adeje, where the five-star Iberostar Selection Anthelia is located. In this resort, as in the imagination, there is always room for something more. A dolphin whose tail turns into a slide by the grace of fantasy (animals never cease to amaze). A pirate ship with endless stories to tell (and, again, more slides for boarding). Each and every corner of the Aquafun area is designed to delight their senses. While they play and learn in Star Camp, you can relax in a hammock by the pool or treat yourself to a moment of peace and wellness in the SPA Sensations, with beauty treatments to reconnect with yourself. Together, you will taste the delights of typical Canarian gastronomy in its five restaurants and, to end the day, you will attend music and dance shows that you will never forget.
We opened this article a few paragraphs above with the desire to expand the moment based on mindfulness and, after a good swim, we end it with more mindfulness tips for children on holiday. As you can see, these ideas are not at odds with sun and pool plans for your next getaway. Thus, the immersion will be total. They will remember their childhood trips with an adventurous spirit and a smile on their face. But these are not the only motivating children's activities that will enrich their stay and yours, transforming it into exciting memories: Iberostar's hotels with water parks in Spain are located in accommodations specially designed for families where, by adding unique experiences for the future, the experience will become as great as the here and now.
