Spiralling chutes. Shriek-inducing slides. Laughs a minute. And plenty of space for you to relax in the sun while the kids have fun. That's what Slide & Splash waterpark in Lagoa is all about. And this summer, it's even better than ever with the addition of The Big Wave and Disco River.

Plunge down the scary Black Hole or 20-metre Kamikaze. Whoop with joy as you speed down the super-steep Soft Slides. Or ride the foaming waters of the Rapid River on a rubber ring. And then there are the newbies. The Big Wave, a thrilling high speed four-person floater ride with a zero-gravity sensation climbing wave. While on Disco River, you can dance with music and lots of lights – a real sliding discotheque.

There's also a giant hot tub, sunbathing terraces and an Olympic-sized pool for some good old-fashioned splashabouts with the kids. Add restaurants serving everything from pizzas and burgers to salads and ice-cream and you've got all the ingredients for a cracking family outing.
