12+ Best Waterpark Hotels in Europe – Perfect for your family vacation!

I’m guessing if you asked your children to name one thing they love about the Summer holidays, they would say swimming in a pool. Don’t get me wrong, kid’s clubs and organised entertainment are great too, but most kids want to be in the water the whole time. That is why I have put together a comprehensive list for you featuring some of the Best Waterpark Hotels in Europe. So, you can give your little ones a summer to remember!
 

 
This post includes TUI’s Splashworld resorts, which are all-inclusive resorts with unlimited access to a waterpark, either on-site, or nearby. I have also listed some independent hotels with waterparks on site. Whether you want to relax on a lazy river, jump over the waves in a wave pool, or race your family members on speed slides, I have something here to suit kids of all ages.
 
All of my picks below have a minimum 4-star rating on TripAdvisor and are ideal for family holidays. Another added bonus is that many of the waterpark holidays below are package holidays and include flights, accommodation, transfers and checked baggage.
 

Best All-Inclusive Family Resorts in Europe with Water Slides

I will break down some of my favourite all-inclusive family resorts in Europe with water slides. Booking an all-inclusive deal can be a great way to eliminate stress while travelling with your kids.

Having a place to stay, food, entertainment and beverages all included in the price really helps the vacation run smoothly, especially when visiting a resort with an onsite waterpark, providing endless entertainment for everyone. All-inclusive resorts also offer a safe and secure environment, giving parents peace of mind while their children explore and play.
 

Costa del Sol: All Inclusive 4-Star Globales Playa Estepona 

As well as a brand new waterpark on-site, the highly rated Globales Playa Estepona has numerous sports activities, kids clubs, day and night time entertainment and even has its own beach club restaurant. The waterpark has a space bowl, tube slides, body slides, a multilane number and a kamikaze slide – all are suitable for children 120cm and over.
 

 
Younger children have their own spray park and mini slides in a pirate-themed area. The hotel is situated close to glitzy Puerto Banus and offers a shuttle bus service 2-3 times per day into the centre.

The Best Hotel with Waterparks in Europe: Parque Cristobal & Siam Park (Tenerife) 

One of the main reasons families flock to Tenerife each year is to visit one of the best waterparks in Europe – Siam Park. There is a wide choice of slides here for kids of all ages.

The Tower of Power and The Dragon will keep adrenaline junkies happy, while the Mhai Tai River and the huge wave pool, are great for all the family. Younger kids will love the Lost City – a fortress teeming with bridges, waterfalls, tipping buckets and 9 slides!
 

 
This Splashworld holiday includes unlimited access to Siam Park, while staying at the Parque Cristobal apartments in Playa de Las Americas. This is a great choice for families looking for good accommodation in the heart of the action, but have the added benefit of theme park access.

4. Algarve: 4-Star Alvor Baia

I have holidayed in Alvor on many occasions and love its laid back atmosphere, picturesque town, and golden sandy beaches. It is not as built up as some of the other family resorts on the Algarve, and that is probably why I like it! H

There is a kids club, an entertainment programme, lots of sports facilities, and a pirate themed play area. If you fancy some quiet time, why not chill out in their spa, or take a stroll along this gorgeous beach.

Sheltered cove beaches, captivating harbours and family friendly resorts. Choose a family holiday in Menorca this year from €2330 and enjoy free access to the waterpark throughout your stay.

Still relatively unspoilt, Menorca retains all the charm and character you would expect from a Spanish island but thankfully, without the high rise blocks. The laid back atmosphere is perfect for a family holiday with cafes, bars and restaurants being the main sources of evening entertainment, rather than discos and clubs. Most of the family coves have great beach bars serving refreshing drinks and delicious snacks and with an average summer temperature of only 25 degrees, you could quite easily spend the full day on one of Menorca’s stunning beaches. The main holiday resorts also have a great choice of eateries which cater exceptionally well for families and many offer stunning sea views.

Considering its neighbours are Majorca and Ibiza, it is hard to believe that Menorca has still managed to maintain a much slower pace of development. Recognised by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve because of the diversity of its landscape, it is the perfect mix of a cultural interior with cosmopolitan coastline. Stunning harbours combine with architectural ruins and clear blue seas, it really is a true find. There is wide selection of historic towns to explore including the capital, Mahon, the fishing village of Fornells and the old walled town of Ciudadella. The flat terrain lends well to cycling and walking trails so although the island overall has a relaxed vibe, it is also suitable for families looking for an active holiday. Water-sports are plentiful at the beaches too.

Sunway Holidays have a Menorca sale on at the moment with kids prices from €199. I particularly like the Roc Lago Park apartments because you have FREE unlimited access to the Aquarock waterpark, throughout your stay! And lets face it, if the kids are happy, so are you! The waterpark is located beside the apartments and there is a wide selection of slides and swimming pools to choose from. The Roc Lago Park’s central location ensures you are close to the beach and the resort centre of Cala’n Bosch with it’s stylish marina.

Depart from Dublin for one week on the 14th of July for €2330, based on 2 adults and 2 children sharing. This Menorca family holiday includes flights, accommodation, transfers, 20kg checked baggage per person and free entrance to the waterpark throughout your stay!
