1. Siam Park, Tenerife, Spain – the largest aquapark in Europe

📌 Address: Av. Siam, s/n, 38660 Costa Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Siam Park Tenerife
Siam Park Tenerife

For many Central European travelers, the Canary Islands are already exotic and attractive enough on their own. But if you happen to be on one of them, specifically Tenerife, you can spice up your stay with even more exotic atmosphere and fun. All you need is a visit to the island’s famous Siam Park aquapark.

This park is located in the south of the island near Costa Adeje. It lies about 200 m from the sea, while on the other side it is guarded by the high peaks of the Teide National Park mountains, rising up to 3,700 m above sea level. The park itself is interesting thanks to its concept. It is designed in the spirit of distant Asian, or more precisely Thai, culture. As the name itself suggests.

The park covers an area of more than 18 hectares, so it is quite large. It was built between 2004 and 2008, and the construction costs climbed to 52 million EUR. There are around 25 Thai-style buildings, making the park the largest “Thai open-air museum” in the world. Most people, however, will probably be even more impressed by the amazing water attractions, even though the setting itself is certainly interesting.

Among the highlights is the huge Mai Thai “lazy river”, the largest attraction of its kind in the world. Another fascinating landmark is definitely Lost City – a slide city interwoven with countless slides and more than 120 play elements. And there is much more besides… you will see for yourself.

Verdict: The best aquapark in Europe for adrenaline lovers and fans of exotic atmosphere. If you want to experience some of the best water attractions in the world, Siam Park should be at the top of your list.
