Water parks in Cyprus, one on each tourist coast
Cyprus has three big water parks, one in each tourist area. Fasouri Watermania, on the edge of Limassol, is the largest on the island; WaterWorld, in Ayia Napa, has more than 30 rides inspired by Greek mythology, and Aphrodite Waterpark is the largest in the Paphos region. They open from spring to mid-October.

- Cyprus has three big water parks, in Limassol, Ayia Napa and Paphos.
- Fasouri Watermania is the largest and opens from mid-April to mid-October.
- In 2026 WaterWorld cost €52 for adults and €34 for children.
- Aphrodite Waterpark, in Kato Paphos, has a bus stop at the gate.
With young children I'd choose Fasouri, for its 1,000 m² kids' area and its lazy river. With teenagers, WaterWorld, which has more rides. In Paphos, Aphrodite Waterpark is the pick if you don't have a car, because the bus stops at the gate.
Before you go
What I would keep in mind
-
01 Most beautiful
The longest lazy river
Fasouri claims the biggest lazy river in Cyprus, 400 metres long, with waterfalls and rafts for up to ten people, among nearly a hundred plant species.

02 To save money
A free second visit
In 2026, WaterWorld gave a free second day, valid in September or October, to anyone who asked at customer services on their first visit.

03 My tip
Check the height limits
Many Fasouri rides require a minimum height of 1.20 m and age of 8, and some a maximum weight of 100 or 110 kg.

What I would book
Travelling with children, a water park day seems close to essential in summer, and Cyprus has a big one on each stretch of coast. I set out what Limassol Tourism, the Paphos tourism website and the parks themselves publish, with 2026 prices because the 2027 ones weren’t out on 4 October.
Fasouri Watermania, Limassol
Limassol Tourism presents it as the largest water park in Cyprus, with the widest range of slides, pools and attractions, given a Polynesian theme and set on the outskirts of the city. It opens from mid-April to mid-October, weather permitting, from 10:00 to 17:00 in spring and autumn and until 18:00 in June, July and August. Its own website boasts the biggest lazy river on the island, 400 metres long, and the biggest wave pool in Cyprus, and describes a six-storey kamikaze slide reaching 50 km/h and a 120-metre slide in total darkness. For little ones there is a 1,000 m² interactive centre with knee-deep water, a kiddies’ pool and swings for under-3s. Do check the requirements, as many rides need a height of 1.20 metres and an age of 8.
WaterWorld, Ayia Napa
WaterWorld, on the Agia Thekla road, describes more than 30 rides inspired by Greek mythology and one of the largest wave pools in Europe, plus restaurants, VIP areas and a go-kart track. In summer 2026 a ticket cost €52 for adults aged 13 and over and €34 for children aged 3 to 12, with an online offer of €49 and €32; under-3s went free, and tickets bought online could be used on any day of the season. That year it also gave a free second day, for September or October, to anyone who asked at customer services, and until 30 August it held a weekly music event for all ages every Sunday. Residents can ask for discounted prices on +357 23 724 444.
To sleep close to everything, search places to stay in Limassol on Expedia and filter by area before price.
Aphrodite Waterpark, Paphos
The Paphos tourism website describes Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark as the largest in the region, on the coast road in Kato Paphos, with high-speed slides, a lazy river, a wave pool and a children’s area, lockers, wifi, lifeguards and disabled facilities. The local bus stops at the gate, and according to the park’s website children under 3 always go free. Its 2026 tickets were valid for the whole season.
How I’d choose
With young children I’d go to Fasouri, and with teenagers to WaterWorld. Staying in Paphos without a car, Aphrodite Waterpark. From mid-October it’s worth checking they’re still open. King Evelthon, Leonardo Laura Beach and Cap St. Georges also have waterparks of their own, as covered in family hotels in Cyprus, and other ideas for children are in Cyprus with kids. The rest of the day could go on one of the Cyprus beaches or trying water sports in Cyprus, and the grown-ups can slip away for golf in Cyprus.
If you are short on time, see the best tours in Limassol and pick one that fits your day.
Where the bus does not go, a car does: compare car hire in Limassol before you arrive rather than at the desk.
To sleep close to everything, search places to stay in Limassol on Booking.com and filter by area before price.
