The Algarve is Portugal's most popular holiday destination due to its clean beaches, unpolluted water and the fact that this area is nice and cheap. Algarve holidays are ideal for getting the perfect suntan, but even a cheap Algarve holiday can also include some of these excellent activities and theme parks.

Aqualand

Algarve water park Aqualand, near Albufeira, has some of the best family adventure rides in Europe. On the Banzai Boggan, you sit on a board and, get ready for it, plummet 23 metres down a vertical slide, building up speed to surf across the grounded pool at the bottom.

Other cutting edge waterslides at this Algarve water park include the Kamikaze ride - the highest in Portugal - where you descend from 36 metres hurtling down 95 metres of slide in four seconds, and the Corkscrew Anaconda, a multiple water slide that looks like a snake.
