Aqua Natura is a spectacular water park with more than 4,000 square meters of fun for the whole family, with wide-open views which is perfect for parents to keep an eye on their children as well as admire the scenery on the Spanish coast.

With a Greek-themed layout that includes more than 3,200 feet (1km) of waterslides, beach bars, and three dedicated children’s pool, Aqua Natura has something for guests of any age. A promenade leads you to the beach, where you can relax under the sun or go for a swim in the pool. You can experience the thrill of La Cresta, a rollercoaster of a waterslide that reaches more than 50 feet (15 meters) in height and lets you feel the sense of weightlessness as you splash through a fully enclosed path.

Try out the winding route of the Aqua Snake, the fast-paced descent of the Rio Aventura, or a half-dozen other unique thrill rides to experience the excitement and sheer exhilaration that Aqua Natura has in store. When you’re ready to relax, visit the sun deck or head to Zorba Beach and kick back at the 1.2 acre (5,000-sq-m) pool.

With a Noah’s Ark worth of creatures, Terra Natura is an animal-lover’s paradise. Its themed areas are spread across open gardens and countryside. And this day out has the added bonus of entry into the neighbouring Aqua Natura waterpark as well.

Over in Asia, there’s a herd of elephants alongside tigers, rhinos and more. And in Europe you’ll find deer, boars and other fauna. Plus it’s all designed around a ‘zoo-immersion’ concept, which means you can get inches from the creatures with just glass safety barriers between you.

Then you can hit the slides at Aqua Natura, a Greek-themed waterpark filled to the brim with chutes, pools and a relaxation area to take a breather. Your two-park combination ticket also includes a lunch menu with two drinks, so everything’s sorted.

Tabarca Island Boat Trip

Tiny Tabarca Island is one of the Costa Blanca’s best-kept secrets and a daytrip here is an unmissable experience. It’s just a 20-minute boat ride from the mainland but once you get there, you’ll feel like you’ve travelled back in time – there are no cars for a start. But this trip is more about what Tabarca does have.

There’s the walled town covering the western half of the island. It’s home to about 60 residents – a century ago, there were more than 1,000 – and has just a handful of streets. Then there’s the recently restored baroque church over by the sea – there can’t be many prettier churches in Spain. And then there are the gorgeous little coves and beaches with crystalline waters lapping against them.

And then there’s the rest of the island – an expanse of bushes and cactus punctured only by an old prison and lighthouse, with tracks leading to cemetery in the eastern tip. To walk from tip to tip takes about half an hour – so it’s very doable as well as enjoyable.
