Picture the scene: it’s a scorching hot summer’s day in Abruzzo and the sun’s rays are beating down. You may be relaxing in your villa’s private garden with a cold refreshing drink in hand, and the kids are playing outside, but they’re getting more and more restless. What you need is a fun, outdoor activity that all the family can enjoy…something that will bring lots of laughter and smiling faces…what you need is a fun-filled day out to Aqualand!

Aqualand is a spectacular aqua park in Vasto that is perfect for all the family – adrenaline seekers, nature enthusiasts and sun worshippers alike! About 50 minutes drive from Villa Ducale in Abruzzo, it is ideally situated so you can visit when you have a day free, without having to plan in advance. This is especially convenient, as we would recommend you visit a water park on a fairly warm, sunny day to make the most of the water-fuelled fun.

For those of you that love the thrill of water slides, you will discover around a mile of slides at Aqualand, ranging from the terrifyingly-exciting Kamikaze vertical drop slide or the high speed hill slide where you can race to the finish against your family and friends, to the gentler ride along the slow-moving rapids. There are even a couple of mini slides especially for babies and younger children, so they too can enjoy the excitement of the water park.

Aqualand also offers 3,000 square metres of swimming pools to enjoy, including everyone’s favourite – the wave pool! There is even a whirlpool where you can sit amongst massaging bubbles, perfect for lifting any stress away. Isn’t that what holidays are for after all? So whether you want to ride the waves, have a relaxing swim or complete some lengths for a bit of exercise, there is a pool for you.

There are so many more attractions than just swimming pools and water slides to discover at Aqualand, however. For example, you can choose to watch a musical or dancing show at the Aqualand Theatre or take part in some sports and fitness, including the gym. There are also lots of wide open green spaces where you can enjoy a spot of sunbathing, reading a book or eating an ice-cream.

Another favourite attraction you will find at Aqualand is the petting farm. With many different animals including ponies, donkeys, rabbits and goats, the whole family, especially the younger children, will adore being able to pet the cute animals.

As you can imagine, at the end of a day out at Aqualand everyone will be feeling extremely tired after lots of laughter and exhilarating fun. And when the kids are fast asleep in bed early, you can enjoy a nice relaxing evening – that’s if you’re not fast asleep too!

With this year being the coldest summer so far, everyone would like that one little bit of sunshine, but it doesn’t seem to be coming anytime soon.

If you’re thinking on going on holiday to get away from drizzle and wind but don’t know where to go because you don’t know what the best place is to go, it has to be Majorca.

It’s beautiful all year round and many things you’re able to do there, so here is a list of attractions that are in Majorca so you know what to expect from a villa holiday:

The days or nights out are never dull, the Pirates adventure in Magaluf, the most recommended show in the whole on Majorca, and it features acrobatics and dancing that you can watch while eating your lunch or dinner, it is an incredible show for all the family and was spoken like it is a west end show.

For a bit of thrill instead of relaxing, why not go to Aqualandia, It’s only a few minutes from Cala Dor. It’s a great family day out with many attractions, with over 17 different slides and each one is unique, from Adults to Kid’s mini slides also including a massive wave pool and also sunbeds for people who just want to relax. You can easily spend many, many hours there and not realise it.

If none of them take your fancy, why not visit Plama the capitol of Majorca, many scenic options to view from, and easily accessible via train and car, with many of architectural monuments and many visitors coming over just to see them it is a definite must see.

Majorca is full of many more attractions but it is easier to find them, why not go and see for yourself?
