Comparing the water parks in Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca

Did you know that Lanzarote has two main water parks? We give a run down on the best facilities on each one, to help you decide which if the Costa Teguise Waterpark or Playa Blanca Waterpark is the best for you.

There are two main water parks in Lanzarote, both providing great days out for families, couples and solo travellers. But both parks are slightly different and cater for different audiences. So which one is best for you?

Waterpark Locations

One thing to consider when choosing which Waterpark to go to is the location. If you're staying in Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen, then the best water park for you could be Aqua Park in Costa Teguise. This is the largest water park in Lanzarote and and provides guests with larger slides and attractions more aimed towards an older family / couples audience. If you're staying in Playa Blanca, then Aqua Lava is the closest water park for you, and the only water park in Lanzarote with a wave pool, however the slides are smaller and this water park is probably better suited for families with younger children.

If you're staying in Playa Blanca and want to visit the Water Park in Costa Teguise, or staying in Costa Teguise and want to visit the water park in Playa Blanca, then fear not. Both parks offer a transport service that will collect you at, or near to, your accommodation and return you at the end of the day.
