Greece with kids: 16 hotels with a water park and slides

Hotels in Greece with water parks and slides are located in five regions of the country. You choose between the sandy shore of Hersonissos, quiet Kos, and lively Faliraki.

We've put together 16 family beachfront hotels, most of which have their own water park or slides. The difference between them comes down to one thing: who you're traveling with. Families with toddlers look for shallow pools and a mini water park, teenagers can't be dragged away from the tall slides, and couples prefer a quiet shore and a spa. Below you'll find this breakdown for each hotel.

How to choose a hotel with a water park in Greece

💡 In short:

  • First, decide who's going: with toddlers, pick a hotel with a children's mini water park; teenagers need taller slides.
  • Check whether the water park is included in the rate: at all-inclusive resorts it's part of the package, while a separate city water park costs extra.
  • Check the beach entry: a sandy beach with a gentle slope is more convenient for kids than a rocky shore.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

Which hotel in Greece has the best water park for young children?

Look for hotels with a children's mini water park. Arminda Hotel & Spa has water attractions and a kids' club, and Gouves Waterpark Holiday Resort has slides for children and entertainment. The pools at these resorts are shallow, so little ones feel more at ease.

Can you use a hotel's water park if you're not staying there?

Water parks on hotel grounds are primarily designed for guests and are included in the rate. Whether outside visitors are allowed, check with the hotel directly. At the resorts in this selection, entry is free for guests, as at Grecotel Olympia Riviera. City parks operate separately from accommodations; there you buy an entrance ticket and get to the park on your own.

How much does a vacation at a hotel with a water park in Greece cost?

Prices depend on the season, hotel category, and meal plan. In summer and during school holidays, rates are higher; in May and October, the same room is cheaper. Check exact prices for your dates in the hotel search and compare options before booking.

When is the best time to go to Greece with children?

The swimming season lasts from May to October, and the water is warm during this time. The peak heat falls in July and August, when it's better to swim in the morning and evening. In May and September, the sea remains warm, and the lines for the slides are shorter.

Do you need a rental car if the hotel is on the beachfront?

No, if you plan to stay on the property. The beach, pools, and water park are all at the hotel. A car is needed if you want to reach neighboring resorts or head into the mountains. At Petra Mare, for example, car rental is available and parking is free.

In short: what to book

The choice comes down to who is traveling and which coast is more convenient for you.

  • If you're traveling with little ones: choose Arminda Hotel & Spa or Gouves Waterpark Holiday Resort.
  • If teenagers need tall slides: look at Star Beach Village and Cyprotel Faliraki.
  • If you want a quiet vacation: Grecotel Mandola Rosa and Petra Mare are good options.
  • If a large all-inclusive resort matters: choose Grecotel Olympia Riviera or Aldemar Cretan Village.
