Aqualandia Water Park – is right inside Benidorm. The park offers all kinds of water activities for all members of the family. There are shaded areas, cafes or restaurants for eating or snack time and hammocks or chairs for time out. It is a nice way to keep cool and watch the children have fun while you sit back a sip some Spanish refreshment. Although the strong emotions are always a guarantee in Aqualandia also the less daring can enjoy attractions relax, to share with family or a group of friends. A stop at the Grand Jacuzzi near the Niagara assures a moment of relaxation to take forces and continue to enjoy everything that gives the park. Rapid, Atlantic Surf, and so on.

Mundomar Park - is right next door to Aqualandia. You needn’t go on an expensive cruise to be able to get a close up view of the most popular marine animals like dolphins or seals or have to go deep into the tropical forest to sea funny talkative parrots but can actively participate in the shows and go aboard the glass bottom boat for a memorable ride.

Terra Natura Finestrat - is a new-generation wildlife park where you can discover the "Zooinmersion" experience -a new concept in habitat design which will enable you to come into contact with the animals as if there were no barriers between you- at least, no visible ones! The 320,000 square metres of the park are divided into four themed areas: Pangea, the entrace to the park, America, Asia and Europe.

The promenade at Aqua Natura will guide you to the beach where you can stretch out in the sun and take a dip. Changing rooms, beach bars and more than 1.000 metres of thrilling water chutes and exclusive bathing areas for children will ensure you have a day full of fun and excitement!
The lighthouse breakwater separates the beach area and chutes from the submarine world: the stunning aquarium of Mediterranean species features an underwater walkway that will make you feel like a fish yourself, with the added bonus that you can even swim with the sharks! If you dare!

Aqua Natura has five large sections: the wave pool, the water chutes, the children’s pool, the lighthouse breakwater and the SPA and sun deck.
