About this place
Illa Fantasia is a water park in the Maresme region, near Premià de Dalt, roughly 30 kilometers from Barcelona.
How old is the park and how big is it?
The park has been running since 1981, making it one of the older water parks in Spain. It spreads across a site of about 75,000 square meters, and a good portion of that ground is wooded, giving visitors shaded spots for a break between rides. That mix of trees and open pool areas is part of what sets it apart from more built-up water parks.
What slides and water rides can visitors expect?
There are 22 water attractions spread across routes of different intensity, from gentle floats to steep drops. Some of the standout rides include:
- Aquamania, a slide launching from 15 meters up, where riders pick one of three enclosed tubes, each tuned to a different thrill level
- Kamikaze, an extreme drop starting at 18 meters
- Rio Salvaje, a 180-meter float ride down a winding river course
- zig-zag slides and a pirate-themed maze-style course
Beyond the slides, the park has three large pools, including a wave pool that recreates the feel of the seaside without the sand. Younger children get their own dedicated water zone, and for the 2026 season the park is adding AquaFamily Kids, a new interactive family area with shallower water and extra water-based games, built with children's safety in mind.
Is there anything to do besides getting wet?
Yes. The site includes a mini-golf course and general recreation areas for visitors who want a break from the water. Restaurants and food stands are available on-site, along with changing rooms, so a full day at the park can be planned without leaving the grounds to eat.
When is the park open?
Illa Fantasia operates seasonally, only during the summer months. At the height of the season, opening hours typically run from 10am to 6pm. Outside of summer, the park stays closed, so it's worth checking the current calendar before planning a visit.
How do visitors get there, and is parking available?
The park sits in the Maresme region, on the coast north of Barcelona. On-site parking is available, which makes it a practical stop for visitors driving in from the city center or from the nearby coastal towns.
