Aquavelis Water Park – A Splash of Summer Fun in Torre del Mar
Aquavelis Water Park – A Splash of Summer Fun in Torre del Mar
When the summer heat sweeps over the Costa del Sol, locals and holidaymakers head for Aquavelis in Torre del Mar. Tucked just outside the bustling town centre, this water park has earned a reputation as the favourite spot for family fun and cooling off in the sun. With plenty of slides, shady green areas, and consistently great reviews, it’s a must-visit for anyone spending time with kids in the Axarquía region.
The park offers a fantastic mix of attractions, from heart-racing rides like the Kamikaze slide — an 80-metre vertical drop that sends you flying down at top speed — to twisting, turning chutes like the Monte Colina, where you ride on double floaters through spiralling tunnels. There are rapids, a wave pool, the spiralling Tiburón slide, the Magic Hole, multi-lane racers, and plenty more. For younger visitors, there’s a children’s zone with safe splash areas and soft slides so they can join in the fun at their own pace. And if you fancy a break from the water, Aquavelis even features a Virtual Reality Arcade, offering a completely different kind of thrill without having to leave the park.
One thing many appreciate about Aquavelis is how it balances excitement with plenty of space to relax. Shaded lawns, umbrella-covered spots, and rentable sunbeds make it easy to take a break from the action. Families often settle in for the whole day, splitting time between slides, splashing, and snoozing in the shade. When it’s time for a bite to eat, you’ll find a good range of food options on site. American Corner serves up burgers, hot dogs, and chicken wings with house sauces, while the Oasis Lounge is a great spot for a cool drink, smoothie, or snack in a laid-back setting. The café offers decent coffee and sweet treats, and kids (and adults) love the mini donuts and ice cream stands dotted around the park. You can also bring your own food if you prefer — just no glass containers.
If you want to head outside the park for a proper sit-down meal, there are several great spots nearby. El Alimentario is known for creative Mediterranean dishes, while Restaurante Mind delivers modern international cuisine in a stylish setting. Casa Lolo is a local favourite for traditional tapas, and Special Coffee is perfect for a casual brunch, sandwich, or your afternoon caffeine fix. And of course, the nearby El Ingenio Shopping Centre has plenty of quick dining options if you’re after something easy.
