Tarragona is a true paradise for water lovers, with water parks that combine adrenaline, relaxation and fun for all ages. In the summer, when the thermometer soars, the best answer is clear: swimsuit, sunscreen and a dose of bravery to face the biggest slides on the Costa Daurada. Prepare yourself for the most epic and refreshing summer of your life (or close to it).
PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park (Vila-seca)
It is the aquatic giant of Tarragona and an irresistible supplement to the PortAventura theme park. Caribe Aquatic Park is a whole world of water and palm trees that will transport you directly to the Caribbean. More than 50,000 m² of pools, rivers and slides designed so that you can forget about the heat and routine. The jewel in the crown is King Khajuna, a free fall slide over 30 meters high that is not for the faint-hearted. But there is also space for relaxation, with areas like Río Loco, a wave pool ideal for the whole family or children's areas like Sésamo Beach or Cayo Cookie. Furthermore, the park is so well themed that you will feel as if you are in a movie.
Aquopolis Costa Daurada (Salou)
If you want to combine beach and fun, this is your place. Located right by the sea, Aquopolis is the oldest and most comprehensive water park on the Tarragona coast. It has areas differentiated by intensity levels: from wild attractions like the Splash, the Kamikaze or the Black Hole (an enclosed and dark slide where you completely lose the sense of time and space), to ideal spaces for the little ones like Tortuga Aventura or Funny Jungle. But what makes Aquopolis special are the five VIP zones perfect to get away from the crowd. You can book from private open areas, with sun loungers or Balinese beds, to your own cabin with all the comforts and pool views.
Aqualeon (Albinyana)
Do you want to enjoy the best views while sliding down water slides? Are you looking for a more calm and family-friendly atmosphere? Aqualeon awaits you. A park surrounded by nature located in Albinyana, in the heart of Penedès. Two must-sees: Rapid River, a similar experience to rafting, and Anaconda, one of the most adrenaline-pumping attractions of the park. You'll also find spaces designed for little ones like the Children's Paradise or the MiniPark. If you want to relax, head over to the chill-out space.
The top 5 slides that will make you scream like never before
1. King Khajuna (PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park)
You're the king of the slides. Literally. With a free fall of over 30 meters, it's the highest slide on the Costa Dorada and one of the most extremes in Europe. It's short but intense, and leaves you with that feeling of having survived something big. If you dare, don't forget to post it on Instagram.
2. Black Hole (Aquopolis Costa Daurada)
Not suitable for claustrophobics or those who need to know what will come next. The Black Hole is a completely enclosed and dark slide, full of twists and drops. You launch on a float, often in pairs, and all you hear is the water, the screams, and your own nervous laughter.
3. Anaconda (Aqualeon)
A true water snake that coils around the mountain surrounded by pines. It's a giant open-tube slide, with wide curves and gentle yet thrilling descents. You launch with a double or triple float, making it perfect for groups or families who want to share the experience. The view from the top is very much worth it, and the route -long and winding- combines excitement and fun without being overly wild.
4. Boomerang (Aquopolis Costa Daurada)
As its name suggests, it is a round trip. You launch from a very high platform in an inflatable boat and plummet down a large inclined wall. The momentum sends you up the other side, almost vertically, until gravity pushes you back to the starting point. Short, but incredibly intense. Like a giant aquatic skateboard.
5. Ciclón Tropical (PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park)
It starts with a quick drop and turns into a series of spirals within a tube that looks like a giant washing machine. Ideal for families or groups who want to have fun without reaching the limit of fear. The best part? The synchronized screams and the final feeling of collective euphoria when you reach the pool. You'll repeat.
Essentials of Tarragona
After a day spent in water, nothing better than completing the getaway with a bit of tourism in the area. Tarragona offers much more than refreshing attractions: it's a land of contrasts where Roman heritage coexists with spectacular beaches and medieval villages with lots of charm. You can end the day strolling through the city of Tarragona and discover the Roman amphitheatre. If you're looking for a quieter and gastronomic atmosphere, Cambrils is a must-stop: a port full of life, outstanding restaurants and tapas that you'll love. And if you still have energy, in Reus awaits the modernist route and a glass of local vermouth. Taking advantage of a visit to a water park to discover the essence of the Costa Daurada is the perfect plan to turn a summer getaway into an unforgettable experience.
