Aqualand El Arenal Water Park in Mallorca

Aqualand El Arenal is Mallorca’s largest water park and a popular summer day out for locals and visitors alike. A short drive from Palma, it has rides for all ages, from big slides for thrill-seekers to spacious play areas for younger children.

Over the years, the park has added new rides and refurbished parts of the site. Here’s what to know before you go, from opening times and parking to resident discounts and our tips for the day.

Inside Aqualand El Arenal

Aqualand El Arenal is somewhere you can easily spend a whole day. There’s room for big slides, children’s splash areas, pools and places to take a break, so it works well whether you’re visiting with young children or looking for a few thrills yourself.

There are plenty of shady grassy areas where you can eat or spread out your towels, some with wooden picnic tables. If you’re spending the day outdoors, bring plenty of sunscreen and reapply it throughout the day, especially for little ones.

Two rides opened for the 2026 season. Kukulcán is a slide over 100 metres long that you ride in a three-person raft, while Hurakán stands more than 25 metres high. They join established favourites such as King Cobra, one of the park’s best-known rides.

One thing we particularly like is that there are separate areas for different ages. Older or more adventurous visitors can head for the big slides, while younger children have their own slides and water games in areas such as Kidzworld.

Can you bring food to Aqualand El Arenal?

Yes. You can bring your own food and drink to Aqualand El Arenal, which can make the day cheaper for families. There are picnic tables and shaded places to eat.

If you’d rather travel light, there are restaurants, cafés and places to buy drinks, ice creams and quick bites inside the park.

If you’re bringing a picnic, get there early to find a table in the shade. The sun moves across the park during the day, so a spot that’s shady in the morning can be in full sun by lunchtime.

Parking at Aqualand El Arenal

There’s a paid car park by the main entrance. It’s the most convenient option if you’re bringing a cool box or a pushchair.

You can also find free on-street parking nearby. Spaces tend to fill quickly in July and August, so it’s worth arriving early.

We’d give ourselves plenty of time. Arriving early makes it easier to park and gives you a chance to get on the popular rides before queues build up.

Tickets, resident discounts and optional extras

We recommend buying tickets online in advance. You’ll skip the ticket office and can often save compared with buying on the day. The Family Pack covers two adults and two children and costs less than buying those tickets separately. There’s also a Friends Pack for groups of four.

Aqualand El Arenal usually offers discounts for Balearic Islands residents each season. The park generally announces them on its social media channels, with dates and terms for each offer.

Lockers, sun loungers and parking cost extra. On busy days, you can also buy a Fast Pass Gold online to spend less time queuing for selected rides.

Children aged two and under go free and don’t need a ticket.

Every family spends the day differently. If you’re keeping costs down, the Family Pack, any resident discount you qualify for and a packed lunch can make a difference. If you’d rather make the day easier, a locker, sun lounger or Fast Pass Gold can come in handy, particularly when the park is busy.

Our tips for visiting Aqualand El Arenal

Aqualand El Arenal is still Mallorca’s largest water park and a popular summer outing. There’s enough variety to keep children and adults occupied for the day.

Booking online, checking the available offers and deciding which extras you’ll actually use can help you plan what you’ll spend.

On a first visit, we’d try to get there before opening and head to the most popular rides first. Save the play areas and a break in the shade for the hottest part of the day.
