HOLIDAYS to the Canary Islands can only be improved by unlimited waterpark access.
The Spanish islands have many waterparks, so we’ve rounded up the six best-rated all-inclusive hotels on TripAdvisor and the cheapest deals to get you there.
The Canary Islands see approximately 12 million tourists annually, so plenty of options should still be available for your waterpark holiday this year.
The islands include Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa.
All the islands have white sandy beaches, hundreds of restaurants and nightlife, shopping, outdoor sports and are even home to some of the best waterparks in Europe.

The holiday packages we’ve found are all-inclusive, so meals, drinks, snacks, and most on-site activities are included.
These resorts have on-site waterparks with rides, lazy rivers, lagoons and waterslides for kids and adults.
On top of that, your return flights and resort transfers are also accounted for.
As we mentioned, the resorts featured are all available on an all-inclusive basis, but some also offer self-catered stays if you want to lower the cost of your holiday.
