Is the beach too far from your home? Do you feel the vastness of the ocean daunting? Are you scared of the sudden drop of the seafloor? Are you afraid to let your kids play on the beach because they might go too far from the shore? And do you just hate the stinging saltwater and the sea creatures that crawl and bite your feet? Well, if you want to cool off this summer but don’t want to go to the beach, then Splash Island is the perfect choice for you.
Splash Island Spa and Resort is the biggest waterpark in the Philippines, and is located in Biñan, Laguna. It has large swimming pools, long curving slides, and other facilities for everybody’s fun and comfort. Families, friends, and people of different ages can enjoy their vacation in this resort.
If you’re the type of person who likes going with the flow – I mean literally – then the Balsa River is just right for you. Just get on a rubber raft and laze around while the water takes you around the area. Also, in Agos Grandes, you can easily imagine that you’re on a beach. It is a big wave pool with actual sand before it.
For people with an adventurous streak, there are different slides for you. You can try out Dos Supremos, two giant twisting slides that will get your blood pumping with excitement. Magellan’s drop is also a slide that lets you ride a body-sized board while lying on your stomach. The Big Bam Boo is a larger-than-life bamboo look-alike – a thick hollow tube of pure delight. For groups of people, you will surely enjoy the Rio Montanosa slide where you can get into a large rubber floater in groups of four then slide down the different twists and turns.
Children will definitely experience an exhilarating water adventure in Splash Island. First on the list is Water Wahoo, a big water playground for kids. There are small slides and fountains where they can play to their hearts’ content. Even adults can enjoy a stay here even if they’re just bumming out in the water. Other kids’ slides and playgrounds are Twin Coco Knots, Bannakita, and Curl-of-the-Orient.
There are spas, restaurants, and a gift shop in this resort as well. You can relax and break away from your worries with a massage in a modest cabana. There is a food court that caters to your palate’s cravings. Different food stalls are dotted around the area and the Dampa offers juicy grilled food. Fiesta sa Pulo is another restaurant in Splash Island. Of course, you can’t miss the Gift Galleon where you can shop for souvenirs and trendy T-shirts.
Whether you’re a family, a group of friends or just wandering alone, Splash Island is your ideal summer getaway. It is very near Metro Manila as well, so you can just go there anytime you want, provided that you follow their waterpark hours, of course. So, just pack a change of clothes and dash to Laguna; Splash Island Spa and Resort is waiting for you there.
