There are 22 hotels with access to a Splash Water World in eight countries: Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Spain, Cape Verde, Senegal and the United Arab Emirates. Access is included in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/en\/what-does-all-inclusive-by-riu-mean\/\">All Inclusive<\/a> service: no tickets, no paid wristbands and no advance booking. Some high-speed attractions and slides require a minimum height of 1.20 m and have a recommended minimum age of 12, and every park has children\u2019s areas for younger guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1261\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/paqrques-acuaticos-splash-water-world-riu.jpg\" alt=\"Imagen a\u00e9rea de un parque acu\u00e1tico Spplash Water World de RIU\" class=\"wp-image-43729\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Splash Water World and who can use it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Splash Water World is an exclusive service for RIU guests. It isn\u2019t a park open to the general public, but a facility inside our resort complexes. If you\u2019re staying at one of the hotels that form part of the complex where the park is located, you can use it every day of your stay, as many times as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At RIU, we\u2019ve designed it so every traveller can find their own pace: thrill-seekers have high-speed slides, while those who prefer something calmer can enjoy the sun and water without any rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTS8bzDDyfg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

At selected hotels you\u2019ll also find Riu4u, with activities for teenagers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan your day in blocks.<\/strong> A good approach is to spend the morning at the park, head back to the hotel for lunch and a rest during the hottest hours, and return in the afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book through official channels.<\/strong> Make your booking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/en\/home.jsp\">riu.com<\/a> or in the RIU app. If you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/en\/riu-class\/index.jsp\">RIU Class<\/a> member, you can also earn and redeem points on your stay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re still choosing a destination, take a look at our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/en\/which-are-the-best-family-friendly-riu-hotels-for-a-summer-holiday\/\">the best family-friendly RIU hotels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to expect from the Splash Water World experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the slides, Splash Water World makes family holidays simpler: there\u2019s no need to organise trips to an outside water park, buy tickets or work out how many days are worth it. The park is inside the resort complex and becomes part of your everyday hotel routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most of our tropical destinations, such as the Caribbean, Mexico, Cape Verde and Senegal, the parks are <strong>open all year round<\/strong> thanks to the warm climate, so they\u2019re a great option for both summer and winter holidays. All you need to bring is your swimsuit, sun cream and plenty of enthusiasm for a great time. As always, we\u2019ll take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/en\/home.jsp\">Book your All Inclusive holiday with RIU Hotels &amp; Resorts and secure your free access to Splash Water World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784021603840\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong>Is there an extra charge to access Splash Water World?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Access is free and unlimited for all guests staying at the RIU hotels that form part of the complex where the park is located, and it\u2019s included in the All Inclusive.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784021624679\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong>Can people who aren\u2019t staying at RIU use Splash Water World?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. It\u2019s an exclusive service for guests of the RIU hotels that form part of the complex with the water park.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784021637623\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong>What height and age are required for the high-speed slides?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some high-speed attractions and slides require a minimum height of 1.20 m and have a recommended minimum age of 12.
