Description

Opuntia is a place where children play inside a cactus, slide between flowers, splash under cascading water, and reconnect with nature in its most playful form. A vibrant oasis of water and color where imagination flows effortlessly.

  • A 230 m² Splashpark with 20 play elements: slides, water curtains, cannons, buckets, and lily pad leaves that invite exploration and shared play.

  • A sensory and symbolic journey for children aged 4 to 12, designed to enhance motor skills, interaction, and group play.

At the heart of the project lies the Bubble, an attraction that stands out:

  • 7.5 meters in diameter, floating above the water like a planet of its own.

  • Installed in a shallow 35 cm pool, ensuring a dynamic, safe, and energy-filled play experience.

  • Suitable for users from 1 to 1.85 meters in height, making it a shared experience across generations.

The design seamlessly blends into the hotel’s surroundings as a natural extension of the Canary Islands’ landscape. More than just a park, it offers families a story to experience through play.
