A Day of Splashing Fun at Aqualava Waterpark

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for destinations that promise both fun and learning for my three kids. Our recent adventure took us to the Aqualava Waterpark in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, a place that had been on my radar for its commitment to sustainability and family-friendly attractions. With its geothermal-heated pools and a variety of slides and activities, it seemed like the perfect spot for a day of water-filled excitement.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the park’s vibrant atmosphere. The entry process was smooth, and we quickly found a cozy spot with comfy chairs and a parasol to set up our base for the day. The park’s compact layout was a pleasant surprise, making it easy to navigate with kids in tow. My children were thrilled to explore the different areas, from the wave pool to the lazy river, and of course, the exciting slides.

Thrills and Chills for All Ages

One of the highlights of Aqualava is its diverse range of attractions suitable for all ages. My youngest, who just reached the height requirement, was ecstatic to try the bigger slides. The park’s design ensures that even the most adventurous kids can find something to enjoy, while the little ones have their own dedicated splash zones and slides.

The wave pool, with its salty water, was a hit with my family. Unlike other pools we’ve visited, the saltwater here didn’t sting our eyes, allowing us to fully enjoy the waves without discomfort. The lazy river offered a relaxing break from the more adrenaline-pumping activities, and although there could have been more floats available, we managed to enjoy a leisurely ride.

Sustainable Fun and Family-Friendly Amenities

Aqualava’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of geothermal energy to heat the pools, a feature that aligns with my own values of eco-friendly travel. The park’s facilities are well-maintained, and the presence of numerous lifeguards provided an added sense of security for us parents.

When it came to dining, the options were both affordable and kid-approved. My children enjoyed the chicken nuggets and paninis, and I appreciated the reasonable prices. The park also offers a shop where you can grab a refreshing fruit juice or ice cream, perfect for a quick treat between activities.

Overall, our day at Aqualava Waterpark was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to any family visiting Lanzarote. The combination of thrilling rides, sustainable practices, and family-friendly amenities makes it a standout destination for a memorable day out with the kids. We left with smiles on our faces and a promise to return on our next trip to the island.
