Illa Fantasia (Vilassar de Dalt)

Illa Fantasia is a summer water park at Finca Mas Brassó in Vilassar de Dalt, on the Maresme coast about 21 km north-east of central Barcelona. It sits right beside the C-32 motorway junction, has its own car park, and two bus stops named after the park lie 330–380 m away. The Catalan tourist board lists 22 water attractions, three large pools, nine themed restaurants and a big picnic area with barbecues. It suits families from Barcelona and the Maresme resorts who want a full day of slides and picnics. Skip it outside summer, and check the season dates first: we could not open the park’s own website.

Access and parking

By car: the park lies at the C-32 junction for Vilassar de Dalt and Premià de Dalt, on the BV-5023 Carretera de Vilassar de Dalt. OpenStreetMap marks the C-32 here as toll-free since the end of August 2021.

Parking: OpenStreetMap shows the park’s own surface car park, Parking Illa Fantasía, about 140 m from the centre of the park, tagged free with private access. Two more car parks tagged free lie about 280 m away, near the roundabout and petrol station on the BV-5023. The tourist board lists parking among the park’s services; we could not confirm the number of spaces.

By bus: OpenStreetMap shows the stop Illa Fantasia on the BV-5023, served by line 805, about 380 m from the park, and the stop Rotonda de les Flors (Illa Fantasia), served by line 804, about 330 m away. We could not confirm timetables or whether a park shuttle from Barcelona runs in 2026; the tourist board’s older ticket package included transport from Barcelona or the Maresme coast.

By train: the nearest train stations are Premià de Mar, about 1.9 km away, and Vilassar de Mar, about 2.2 km, both in a straight line, on the coast (OpenStreetMap).

What to expect

The Catalan tourist board describes a park with 22 water attractions for all ages, three macro pools, nine themed restaurants, a picnic area with tables and barbecues in a green park zone, lockers, a shop and a supermarket. It is a long-established park rather than a modern resort: Catalan Wikipedia dates it to 1981, when a textile businessman opened a leisure complex on his estate.

Ride names given by Catalan Wikipedia include Kamikazes (an 18 m high slide), Aquamania (three enclosed tubes from 15 m), the Laberint Pirata children’s play structure with a tipping bucket, a 2,000 m² wave pool, and the Riu Salvatge rubber-ring slide that crosses the picnic area. That article cites no sources, so treat the list as a guide to the park’s style, not the current line-up.

The tourist board also lists a Family Night experience, which it calls the only water park open at night for families in summer. We could not confirm whether night openings run in 2026 or 2027.

Prices and opening

Checked November 2026: the park’s own website (illafantasia.com) could not be reached for this guide, and the official tourist board page still carries the 2016 calendar (6 June to 11 September, 10:00–18:00). We did not find official prices or dates for 2026 or 2027 that we could open, so we do not give any. Check the park’s website before you go.

The tourist board page notes two rules worth knowing: tickets are not sold to unaccompanied children, and hammocks and lockers cost extra.

Accessibility and safety

Best time to visit

Summer only. In 2016, the last season on the tourist board page, the park opened from 6 June to 11 September; we could not confirm the next season’s dates. We have no official visitor figures, but as at most water parks, weekdays in June and September are a safer bet than weekends in July and August. Arrive at opening time if you want a picnic table in the shade.
