In summer, with the sun blazing, people increasingly seek coolness, a pool, a pool of water to dive into. In short, a shelter to retreat to and escape the scorching sun and mugginess. Maybe a water park? It is the perfect combination of relaxation, coolness and fun. For everyone. Young and old alike. What if the park in question also had a spa as well as a breathtaking view? We’re talking about a water park about an hour from Milan with an elegant spa and rooftop terrace that is among the best in Europe. Would you like to know which one it is? Let’s find out.
As mentioned in other articles, the beauty of Milan is that it is strategically located, “close” to a bit of everything. The sea is close, it has beautiful lakes in its surroundings, Switzerland is easily accessible, as well as other very pretty destinations that are worth a trip.
Why do we mention Switzerland? Well, because the water park with spa we are talking about is located right here.
The water park with spa among the best in Europe
We repeat, the water park in question is located north of Milan, across the Italian border. In Switzerland precisely. We are in Rivera about an hour’s drive from the Milanese capital. Google Maps says 1h 22 to be exact.
But now to more juicy information, what is this park. Well, it is called Splash e SPA Tamaro and is considered one of the best water parks in Europe. The park is not only a fun oasis, but also a place to relax while enjoying a unique spectacular view.
What you will find at Splash&SPA
Well, in addition to a very fun wave pool, you will find many adrenalineattractions such as the Tunnel of Horror that will amaze you with the intensity of its free descent, the Gravity Killer, an incredible slide to be done in several people on a huge raft where you can experience crazy anti-gravity sensations, and much more.
For those who crave pure relaxation, however, can retreat to the facility ‘s elegant spa where they can find saunas, salt caves, massages, Hammam rituals, clay treatments, iodized salt pools, snow caves and more.
And if you work up an appetite, don’t worry that between the restaurant and the pool bar any hunger pangs can be satisfied just fine. What’s more, the rooftop terrace will allow you to enjoy a killer view while sipping and nibbling on something or simply while relaxing in the water or on the lounger.
Worth thinking about, no? Not just in summer. The park is open all the time, 365 days a year, from 11 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. (slides from 12 p.m. and the restaurant from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.). Admission from 26 euros adults, 20 euros children up to 15 years old. Consult all prices here.
