AQUALAND  (WATER PARK)

Telephone: 282 322827
Get set to get wet! You can see this water park from the villa.   The  park offers landscaped shaded gardens, several snack bars and a restaurant.  The rides are varied and the park is more suited to children 10 years and over.  It is worth remembering that they offer a half day ticket starting at 1.00pm in the summer months and the park closes at 6.00pm.  It is also cheaper on a per person basis if you purchase your ticket from an agency.  There are many in the town of Armacao and tickets are sold at stores, newsagents and souvenir displaying the billboard.

SLIDE AND SPLASH
This water park is ideal for the younger members of the family.  Fully equipped with pools for toddlers and in-pool play area.  For older members ‘The Black Hole’ is a challenge and the other 15 runs equally surprising! Very busy during the summer months as you can imagine.  Plenty of eating areas and bars - changing rooms with showers - lockers and umbrella hiring station. They also do a half day charge and children 5 and under  are  free of charge.
