Aqualandia is a water park at the east end of Benidorm, open since 1985 inside the Serra Gelada natural park area, next to the Mundomar animal park. The tourist office lists more than 15 water attractions, from a wave pool and a children’s area to Verti-Go, a capsule slide 33 m high. It opens daily in summer only, from late May to late September. It suits families and groups who want a full day of slides and pools. Skip it if you want a quiet beach day or are visiting outside the summer season.

Access and parking
By car: the park lies off the Avenida de Marsella, which runs from the Racó de l’Oix towards the Serra Gelada. Road signs point to Aqualandia and Mundomar together.
Parking: Wikipedia describes a free car park shared by Aqualandia and Mundomar. OpenStreetMap shows two car parks on Calle and Avenida de Marsella, about 250 m from the centre of the park, tagged free and for customers. We could not confirm the number of spaces or whether they fill up on summer weekends.
By bus: the stop called Aqualandia / Mundomar on the Avenida de Marsella is about 200 m from the park centre and has a shelter and a bench. On OpenStreetMap it is the end of Llorente Bus lines 1 and 11. Line 1 runs to Benidorm centre and the train station; line 11 runs to the centre and the bus station. Visit Benidorm says the town network has 18 lines and connects the theme parks, including Aqualandia. Check current timetables with Llorente Bus (965 854 322) before you rely on a late bus back.
On foot: the park is 2.2 km in a straight line from our Levante Beach point; the walking route is longer.
What to expect
A large summer water park among pine trees, with green areas between the pools. The Benidorm tourist office describes it as one of the largest water parks in Europe and lists these main attractions:
- Verti-Go: two capsule slides, 28 m and 33 m high. The tourist office calls the 33 m one the tallest in Europe.
- Cyclón: a funnel ride, 36 m high with a 200 m course.
- Big-Bang: a set of four slides with different heights and slopes.
- Black Hole: an enclosed slide with turns and drops in the dark.
- Wave pool: a large pool that makes sea-like waves, for all ages.
- Adventureland: the children’s zone, with water play, small slides and shallow pools.
Wikipedia notes that the park uses sea water. The tall slides suit teenagers and adults who like speed; Adventureland and the wave pool are the parts for small children. If nobody in your group wants slides or pools, Mundomar next door or a beach day costs less.

Accessibility and safety
We could not confirm step-free routes, adapted changing rooms or which attractions disabled visitors can use; ask the park before you book. We could not confirm the height or age limits for each slide either; check them on arrival. The park is open in the hottest months, so bring sun cream, a hat and water. Benidorm’s tourist office lists adapted transport and mobility scooter hire on its accessible Benidorm page.
Best time to visit
The park only opens from late May to late September. Check the exact opening dates on the park’s website if you plan a trip in late May or late September. Arriving at opening time gives you the longest day for the price. If you also plan to visit Mundomar, a combined ticket covers both parks.
