With the hot weather on the Costa Del Sol Water Parks are a great way to keep cool and have some fun.
There are two really good Water Parks within an hour’s drive of Estepona.
I’ve visited both of these parks with my family and would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a great day out.
Going to a water park is an expensive day out, so don’t be shocked by the prices at either of these parks. Expect to pay between €20 – €30 euros per person, including children.
You’ll probably also want to hire a sunbed too, which will be extra and if it’s really busy you might want to hire a ring or two as well.
To save a bit of money consider taking your own food as both parks allow this or you’ll be spending at the snack bars and restaurants.
Estepona Water Parks
AguaMijas – Mijas – Best for older children
- Big wave pool with quite big waves
- Around 40 minutes from Estepona
- Lots of waterslides including some super big ones
- The park is kept very clean
- Grassy picnic areas can lack grass
- Can get very busy
- Not enough ‘free’ inflatable rings
AguaMijas Water Park is in Mijas which about a 50 minute drive from Estepona
The park offers many attractions, from adrenaline-pumping water slides to more relaxed and leisurely pools, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
I’ve always enjoyed AguaMijas. It’s kept clean and the staff are friendly.
There are some grassy areas that are good for placing towels and relaxing, or you can hire a sunbed.
You can also bring your own food and drinks into the park or buy something from the various cafes and snack bars.
There is plenty of parking close to the park.

The water park isn’t too big, which is great for keeping an eye on the kids and has everything you need for a fun day. I’d improve the fact that they only rent individual floats for half a day, meaning if you rent one in the morning, you have to return it at noon. The large one for two people can be rented for the whole day. You can eat there; they have set menus, or you can bring your own cooler with food and drinks. There’s a dining area.
The lifeguards are real bullies. When we tell you about a rule, they approach you rudely, as if they were an authoritarian police officer. When we politely reprimanded him for his behavior, a lifeguard, without saying a word, came to our position and confronted us head-on, in the presence of a two-year-old girl and the other children in the toddler area. We had to break it up, and some security personnel came. The security personnel behaved professionally and broke up the fight without any rude gestures. One of the lifeguards (a woman) tried to attack one of us several times. All of this seems to have been recorded by the park’s security cameras. We spent the entire day in the park for the young children, who didn’t deserve to be harmed, but throughout the day we were truly frightened by the aggressive and arrogant attitude of the lifeguards, who stared defiantly at us every time we passed. When we left the park and stopped the car at the gate to load the kids, I don’t know if they were waiting for us or if we just happened to bump into them again. Two of them drove by and stared at the car (we were inside), and a third (who wasn’t even present at the initial scuffle) came up to the car window and challenged us to a fight, again with the young children in the back of the vehicle. I don’t know if this last incident is on film, but since it happened right at the gate, it probably is.
The park, in general, is very nice, but the lifeguards are real bullies with an air of self-important authority.
As always, brilliant. A great place to spend the day with the kids. Everything is very well organized, with lifeguards attentive to everything, staff constantly cleaning, food and candy stands, umbrellas (both free and paid), activities like Zumba in the pool, and, of course, the water slides, which cater to all tastes, all very good.
Bahia Park – Algeciras – Best for younger children
- Very well-maintained park
- Lots of good rides with plenty for younger children
- Less than 40 minutes from Estepona
- It wasn’t too busy when we went so no queues!
- Free picnic area is hidden away
- The life guards can be a bit strict
Bahia Park in Algeciras is probably my favorite water park near Estepona.
I think the slides and attractions are more suited to younger children which suits me perfectly, as my two children aren’t really up for the massive, super-fast slides.
Bahia Park has a selection of water slides, a wave pool, children play areas, a zip line and a lazy river.
There are plenty of sunbeds at Bahia Park but you do have to pay extra for them.
There is a free picnic area, but it’s tucked away and not in a great location for accessing everything in the park.
You can bring your own food or buy refreshments from one of the snack bars or restaurants within the park.
We went to Bahia Park recently and had a really good time.
Highly recommended.

A great place for kids and adults alike. It has plenty of shade and places to eat if you want to bring food from home. There are also restaurants there. The people who work there are very nice and helpful if you have any problems. Our float was stolen, but the guy who helped us was lovely, and we had another one almost immediately.
A place we’ll return to.

It’s very nice, but I think the prices are exorbitant—half-liter bottles of water cost two euros, and I’m talking about the cheapest.
There were a lot of people, and the park was oddly small compared to the others. All the rides are close together. The water park, in my opinion, is very expensive for what they offer.
I recommend buying tickets online to avoid waiting in lines.

No estuvo mal, lo único malo fue el tiempo de espera para todas las atracciones, de 15-20 minutos no bajaba, y eso que fui un día laborable. En la atracción de Water Race me hice daño en la mejilla, al final de la atracción hay tanta agua que te frena brusco y si vas muy pegado a la esterilla te pasa como a mí que me hice una herida, y si vas un poco más despegado te da un tirón en el cuello. La comida allí dentro es cara, es mejor llevársela ya de casa. Recomendable también alquilar el flotador al principio, porque si no tienes que esperar también en cada atracción para que te los den.
