Caribbean-style water park is just two hours from the UK – and has Europe’s highest waterslide

A MUCH-LOVED city in Europe is home to a Caribbean-style water park with three white-sand beaches and over 20 attractions.

When most British holidaymakers visit Venice, they head to landmarks like St Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, and the Bridge
of Sighs.

In addition to these historic sites, British holidaymakers might want to add Caribe Bay, a Caribbean-style water park, to their agendas.

The Italian water park has seven themed areas, 27 attractions and three beaches.

Each of the three beaches is covered with white sand, while palm trees and cabanas are dotted throughout the water park, hence the comparison to the Caribbean.

One popular attraction is Captain Spacemaker, which claims to be the highest waterslide in Europe at 42m high.

Park-goers are placed on a float before heading down the waterslide, reaching speeds of 62mph.

There are several other water rides at the theme park, including the lazy river ride Roatan, a 220m-long waterslide called Tortuga Sky and Battle Intrigo where park-goers can fire water cannons.

For younger visitors, there’s also Boopi River, Rudder, a trampoline park, a ball pit, a pirate’s mine, a water playground and a small boat ride.

Other water attractions include Jungle Jump, a space where visitors can challenge their friends with acrobatics before diving into the water.

There’s also Scary Falls, a 38m-high slide that park-goers go down in the dark.

The Italian water park has multiple outdoor pools like Shark Bay, a Wave Pool, and Pirate’s Bay, an outdoor lagoon with a child-friendly beach.

Other attractions include Bungee Jumping, a free climbing wall and a tightrope bridge 20m above the ground.

Live shows, like Pirates of Silver Cove, Swing Circus and Limbo, also take place at the water park.

There are several on-site restaurants at the water park too, including Castaway Kebab, Castaway Burger, Chiringuito Beach, La Petite Patisserie and La Petite Cuisine.

The Italian water park has been praised by visitors, with a 4/5 star rating from thousands of reviews on TripAdvisor.
