Waterpark Caribe Bay in Lido Di Jesolo (Venice)

Caribe Bay is not just a water park in the popular resort of Lido Di Jesolo in the province of Venice (Provincia di Venezia) but an extraordinary oasis with the nature of South America on the Adriatic Sea.

The fully themed Caribe Bay is one of the seven best water parks in the world and is the only one with a wave pool with sand in the water and on land.

After 5 minutes of walking, you will find yourself at the park entrance.

History of the water park

Before gaining world fame, the water park of the Italian resort of Lido Di Jesolo looked more modest. In 1989 on this place was built Aqualandia, which immediately attracted the attention of tourists, but after a few years lost the competition to other water parks.

In the 2000s, an exciting and daring project emerged that turned Aqualandia into the Caribbean Bay in 2019. The new water park was so named – Caribe Bay.

The nature of one of the most beautiful places in the world was recreated with more than 2 thousand palm trees and 50 thousand square meters of beaches with coral sand and almost natural sea waves.

The vast park was transformed into a world of adventure and thrilling rides, capable of raising adrenaline and arousing a storm of emotions.

Caribe Bay is constantly evolving and delighting with new projects. Currently, the water park area is 80,000 square meters, which is equipped with 27 entertainment venues, including the highest in Europe water slides (42 m) and a bridge for jumping with a bungee (60 m).
