Costa del Sol Aquaparks & Water Parks: Family Guide
I love traveling and sharing my experiences. For me it's important to share only practical and useful information in the blog, things that actually help, whether you're planning a trip to Costa del Sol or thinking about renting in Spain.
Table of contents7
The Costa del Sol's aquaparks and water parks in 2026 make it one of the easiest coastlines in Europe to keep kids entertained on holiday — from free municipal splash parks a few minutes from Estepona and Sotogrande, to full-scale water parks near Marbella, Fuengirola, and Málaga. This guide covers every option we could verify: real prices, opening hours, exact locations, and — honestly — which ones are actually toddler-friendly and which ones aren't.
If you're staying in one of the family holiday apartments Sotogrande guests typically book, most of these parks are within an easy 20–45 minute drive. We've organized everything by type so you can jump straight to what you need.
✅ Every price checked by our team. The Sunset Rental team personally verified every price in this guide directly on official websites and by phone where online pricing wasn't available — not scraped from outdated listings. Prices verified July 2026 and subject to change; always confirm before visiting.

Aquaparks: The Big Water Slide Parks
Aqualand Torremolinos
The biggest and most established water park on the Costa del Sol. It is suitable for visitors of all ages and includes separate zones for younger children.
The €19.50 second visit must be purchased before leaving the park. Flexiticket, Family Pack and Friends Pack are available online only.
Aquamijas
This is consistently the best-reviewed option for toddlers on this list. Multiple parents mention taking 2-year-olds and having a genuinely relaxed day. The bigger slides are aimed at children aged 7 and over.
Extras such as cabanas or lockers may cost more.
Aquavelis Water Park
Aquavelis is a full-scale water park in Vélez-Málaga, close to Torre del Mar. It offers options for visitors of different ages, and reviews consistently praise the park’s safety standards.
Prices may vary by date and ticket type. Check the official website before visiting.
Bahía Park
What makes Bahía Park worth the roughly 25-minute drive from Sotogrande is its layout. It has a genuinely separate children’s zone for visitors under 1.20 m, junior slides for children under 1.50 m, and family float rivers that work well for groups with children of different ages.
Prices vary by date. The Zig Zag slide requires swimming ability and a minimum height of more than 1.20 m.
Holiday World Beach Club
Holiday World Beach Club is more of a resort-style beach club than a standalone aquapark. It combines pools, waterfalls, sea views and a family-friendly atmosphere. The day pass includes drinks, a buffet lunch and an evening snack box for children.
Under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. The day pass includes drinks, a buffet lunch and an evening snack box for children.
🏡 Where to Stay for Easy Access
Most of these parks cluster around two bases: Sotogrande, for Bahía Park and the free Casares splash park, and Estepona, for Selwo Aventura, Fun Beach Park, and Kart&Fun — with Marbella, Fuengirola, and Benalmádena all reachable as day trips from either.
Sunset Rental manages a range of apartments for a holiday in Sotogrande, Estepona, and Manilva — fully equipped and positioned to make exactly this kind of day-tripping easier without long drives back at the end of the day.

Advance booking is not available. Tickets are sold at the box office.
Fun Beach Park Marbella
Fun Beach Park Marbella is a floating water park at Playa de Alicate. It is open from 26 June to 1 September 2026, daily from 12:00 to 20:00, depending on weather conditions. The pricing is the same as at the Estepona location.

CostaWaterPark
CostaWaterPark operates floating obstacle courses in Marbella, Fuengirola and Benalmádena.

📍 Puerto Banús, Marbella
One hour — €20
Full day — €40
Children under 5 must be accompanied by an adult, and both the child and adult must have a paid ticket. Unaccompanied minors need an adult to sign a consent form. Reviews repeatedly mention deep water and limited supervision.
CostaWaterPark Fuengirola
📍 Los Boliches, Fuengirola
One hour — €20
Full day — €35
This location sits directly on the Los Boliches seafront promenade. Recent reviews mention worn or under-inflated equipment more often than at the Marbella location, so it is worth checking recent feedback before visiting.
CostaWaterPark Benalmádena
📍 Playa Castillo Bil-Bil, Benalmádena
One hour — €20
Full day — €35
This location is convenient to combine with Selwo Marina or the Butterfly Park on the same day. The same supervision and deep-water cautions apply as at the other CostaWaterPark locations.
WaterFun Malagueta
WaterFun Malagueta is a floating obstacle-course park located directly off Málaga’s main city beach. It is a physically demanding activity and is best suited to children aged 7 and over.

Parque de Agua
Parque de Agua is a free municipal splash park in Málaga. It is toddler-friendly, but reviews mention that it is frequently out of order, so it is better treated as a bonus stop rather than the main plan for the day.

Which Costa del Sol water park is best for young children?
Aquamijas, Aquavelis and Aqualand Torremolinos all include dedicated areas for younger children, although the exact height restrictions vary between attractions.
For a gentler experience without large slides, the free splash parks in Casares and Málaga can be a better choice for toddlers and preschool-age children.
Are there any free water parks on the Costa del Sol?
Yes. Agua de Casares Costa Park, Parque de Agua Málaga and Parque Acuático Infantil are free public splash parks.
They are much smaller than the main ticketed aquaparks and are designed mainly for short family visits rather than a full day of large slides and attractions.
Which water park is closest to Sotogrande?
Bahía Park in Algeciras is one of the closest full-size aquaparks to Sotogrande. The free Agua de Casares Costa Park is another nearby option for families looking for a smaller splash park.
Families staying in Sotogrande or Manilva can usually reach both without travelling as far as the larger parks around Fuengirola, Torremolinos or Torre del Mar.
How much do Costa del Sol water parks cost?
Prices vary according to the park, visitor age or height, season and whether tickets are purchased online or at the entrance.
Full-size aquaparks generally charge separate adult and child admission, while floating inflatable parks may sell timed sessions. Free public splash parks do not require an entrance ticket.
Always check the official attraction website before visiting, as prices and booking conditions may change during the season.
Is CostaWaterPark safe for children?
CostaWaterPark operates floating inflatable courses at several Costa del Sol beaches. Visitors are normally provided with life jackets, and staff supervise the activity.
Children must meet the operator’s current age, height and swimming requirements. Younger children may need to be accompanied by an adult, so confirm the conditions for the chosen location before booking.
