12+ Best Waterpark Hotels in Europe – Perfect for your family vacation!
I’m guessing if you asked your children to name one thing they love about the Summer holidays, they would say swimming in a pool. Don’t get me wrong, kid’s clubs and organised entertainment are great too, but most kids want to be in the water the whole time. That is why I have put together a comprehensive list for you featuring some of the Best Waterpark Hotels in Europe. So, you can give your little ones a summer to remember!
This post includes TUI’s Splashworld resorts, which are all-inclusive resorts with unlimited access to a waterpark, either on-site, or nearby. I have also listed some independent hotels with waterparks on site. Whether you want to relax on a lazy river, jump over the waves in a wave pool, or race your family members on speed slides, I have something here to suit kids of all ages.
All of my picks below have a minimum 4-star rating on TripAdvisor and are ideal for family holidays. Another added bonus is that many of the waterpark holidays below are package holidays and include flights, accommodation, transfers and checked baggage.
Best All-Inclusive Family Resorts in Europe with Water Slides
I will break down some of my favourite all-inclusive family resorts in Europe with water slides. Booking an all-inclusive deal can be a great way to eliminate stress while travelling with your kids.
Having a place to stay, food, entertainment and beverages all included in the price really helps the vacation run smoothly, especially when visiting a resort with an onsite waterpark, providing endless entertainment for everyone. All-inclusive resorts also offer a safe and secure environment, giving parents peace of mind while their children explore and play.
Costa del Sol: All Inclusive 4-Star Globales Playa Estepona
As well as a brand new waterpark on-site, the highly rated Globales Playa Estepona has numerous sports activities, kids clubs, day and night time entertainment and even has its own beach club restaurant.

Younger children have their own spray park and mini slides in a pirate-themed area. The hotel is situated close to glitzy Puerto Banus and offers a shuttle bus service 2-3 times per day into the centre.
