Hotels with water parks: entertainment for the whole family

In its more than 20 years of existence, O Alambique de Ouro has already won over many customers, who can't go through summer without spending a few days in this tropically inspired resort, which has been able to modernize and keep up to date. With well-equipped rooms, swimming pools, gym, health club, tennis court, bar, restaurant and games room, it is a true paradise for families. Its water park, suitable for small children, with a playground right next to it, is an essential part of its success.

Located between Praia da Vieira and Pinhal de Leiria, Cristal Praia Resort & Spa stands out for its superb views over the sea, including from its panoramic restaurant. It has rooms and villas that are a replica of the fishing houses, a heated indoor pool, a modern Health Club and, of course, access to the Mariparque water park, consisting of several slopes, slides, swimming pools for adults and children and even a children's water park.

Right next to the previous one, we also highlight Cristal Vieira Praia & Spa, with the same relaxing and unique vibe that the proximity to the sea and the Pinhal de Leiria provides. Cristal SPA is ideal for relaxing, while access to the Mariparque water park, free for guests, guarantees moments with more adrenaline. In addition to riding the slides, slopes and water slides, tobogans and curvy tracks, you can also enjoy a diverse range of entertainment activities.

One cannot talk about hotels with water parks without mentioning the magnificent Ohai Nazaré Outdoor Resort, close to the well-known Praia da Nazaré and Praia do Norte. Bungalows and glamping tents are distributed around the large green park with pine trees, complemented with several swimming pools, including an outdoor heated one, and the fun water park, whose slides can be used by kids and adults alike. The restaurant, Kids Club and themed entertainment make a holiday with children the best ever!

Located in Porches, close to Senhora da Rocha beach, Be Live Family Palmeiras Village was specially designed for holidays with children.

Operating on an All Inclusive basis, all you can do is enjoy the sun and nature, the gastronomy and the several activities.

It is in the authentic fishing village of Olhos de Água that we find the 3HB Clube Humbria, a very complete tourist complex, which offers an excellent service on an All Inclusive basis. Its spacious and modern apartments, complemented by outdoor swimming pools, children's playground, Kids Club, daytime and nighttime entertainment and, of course, the mini water park, make it a paradise for a hassle-free, relaxing and unforgettable holiday with children!

Continuing through the Algarve, since it is in this area that most hotels with water parks are located, we find the Alfagar Alto da Colina. With magnificent views over the beaches of Balaia and Santa Eulália, this pleasant aparthotel is another favorite for families, not only for its quiet area, but also for the facilities, especially the four swimming pools, one of which is covered, and the magnificent water park, suitable for younger children.

Practically next to the previous accommodation, between Albufeira and Olhos de Água, the Alfagar Aparthotel offers wonderful views over the beach. Guests can enjoy the rest of the restaurants and bars at other nearby Alfagar properties. Among the various swimming pools, including an indoor one, tennis and football courts, a children's playground andthe fun-filledwater park, there will be no shortage of activities to entertain the youngest.

The name of Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun says it all, here, fun family holidays are the watchword! Located in Albufeira, more specifically in the quiet area of Montechoro, it operates on an All Inclusive basis, which in itself is half the battle for a restful holiday. Its swimming pools, SPA, Kids Club and children's water park do the rest, ensuring all the amenities for kids and adults to have an unforgettable vacation.

Some of the hotels with water parks already mentioned have areas with mini water parks on their premises, but this is not the case with the Aquashow Park Hotel. Located in Quarteira, the hotel is part of the Aquashow Water Park, considered the largest water park in Portugal! The hotel is modern and family friendly, has indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzi and gym, but its crown jewel is undoubtedly the fantastic water park, with slides, wave pool, water roller coaster and shows for all ages.
