Tenerife, Canary Islands

Siam Park

Routinely rated the best water park on the planet, and the crown is deserved: the Tower of Power drops brave souls through a shark tank, the wave pool produces genuine surfable waves and the Lost City keeps younger children occupied for hours.

Why go

A water park on Tenerife's southern coast, built around a Thai theme with carved pavilions and a great deal of planting, Siam Park has been repeatedly voted the world's best in traveller awards. Its reputation rests on a handful of serious rides, a wave pool that produces waves big enough to surf and a lazy river long enough to fill an afternoon. There is a full children's area for anyone too small for the drops.

One day is enough, though the ticket goes further if you arrive at opening and take the big slides before queues build. The site sits in the Costa Adeje resort strip, close to the south coast hotels and about 20 minutes from Tenerife South airport. It is exposed and hot in summer, and windy days can close the highest attractions, so keep a spare day in reserve.

Ideal stay: A day trip from Costa Adeje
The vibe: Loud, tropical, engineered for thrills

From our guides

It gets busy by eleven, so arrive at opening and do the big slides first. The premium towel-and-locker packages are skippable; the fast pass in high season is not.

Things to do

Tower of Power

A near-vertical drop slide passing through a transparent tube inside an aquarium of rays and sharks. The park's signature ride by some distance.
The Wave Palace

A wave pool generating large, surfable waves at intervals. Stand well back from the shallows if you are with small children.
Mai Thai River

A long lazy river circling much of the park and passing through the shark aquarium. The gentlest way to see the place.
Lost City

A play structure of towers, bridges and small slides for younger children, with shallow water and shade close by.
Siam Beach

White sand and loungers around the wave pool, so the day can work as a beach day as much as a slide day.
Costa Adeje

The surrounding resort area, with sheltered beaches, a long seafront promenade and whale-watching boats leaving from the marina throughout the year.

Where to stay

Large family resorts and all-inclusives, plus apartment blocks with kitchenettes. Very few small or independent hotels anywhere along this coast.

Best base overall
Costa Adeje

The resort strip beside the park, so you can walk or take a five-minute bus and be at the gates for opening. Polished, pricier than its neighbours and thoroughly geared to families.

Best value
Playa de las Américas

Immediately south, older and brasher, with the cheapest rooms within striking distance of the park and a free shuttle bus from several stops. The nightlife is loud and unavoidable.

Best with children
Los Cristianos

A former fishing town with a sheltered, shallow beach and a proper promenade, calmer than the resorts above it. Fifteen minutes by bus to the park, and ferries to La Gomera from the harbour.

Quietest
La Caleta

A small fishing hamlet at the northern end of Adeje, known for its fish restaurants and a couple of larger hotels. Little for teenagers, but the evenings are civilised.

Worth knowing before you book: Half term and the Christmas fortnight sell out this stretch months ahead, and many resorts insist on seven-night stays in peak weeks.

Good to know

Arrive early: Queues build sharply after about eleven. Do the biggest rides first, then work downwards as the park fills up.
Fast pass: In peak season the queue-skipping pass is the one upgrade worth paying for. Towel and locker bundles are easy to do without.
Height limits: Several rides have minimum heights and some require confident swimmers. Check before promising anything to children.
Pack this: Reef-safe sun cream, a hat and water shoes. Paths get hot and the Canarian sun is stronger than it feels.
Wind: The south of Tenerife can be windy, which sometimes closes the highest slides. Check the day's ride status on arrival.
