The best tips for beating the heat

Summer has finally arrived! This means warmer weather, lighter clothing and more hours of sunlight every day, leaving you with even more time to enjoy our range of rides and experiences. What’s not to like?

To allow you to squeeze every last drop out of summer without being overwhelmed by the high temperatures, we’ve prepared a series of tips for beating the heat which will allow you to enjoy the freshest summer of your life.

Keep reading to find out what they are. If you find them useful, remember to share them with your friends and family!

The heat is more tolerable on the coast!

 Our first tip is as follows: wherever you’re planning to go this summer, make sure it has a beach!

PortAventura World enjoys a privileged location right on the Costa Dorada. The Mediterranean breeze will keep you cool as you enjoy our rides, watch our shows and make amazing summer memories that will last a lifetime. However, if the mercury starts to rise too high for your liking, you’ve got the beach just around the corner!

But if you don’t fancy the walk, you can stay cool with our on-site pools and fountains!

An insulated water bottle is your closest ally

 After fire and the wheel, insulated water bottles are quite possibly the most important invention of all time! All you need to do is fill it up first thing in the morning with ice-cold water, juice or slushy drink, and you’ll have a refreshing beverage that will last for the rest of the day.

There’s no need to worry if you run out of water, however, as our park is punctuated with hydration points where you can purchase cold water and ice cream to keep you as cool as a cucumber.

We’ve got everything covered!

Don’t neglect your skin!

Even when you’re having the time of your life, it’s important to take precautions. Since experts recommend keeping your head out of direct sunlight, we strongly suggest taking your trusty cap with you to PortAventura World. By dampening a cloth and placing it beneath the cap, you’ve got a complete combo that will keep your head cool for hours.

It is also highly recommended to use high-SPF sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. With sunscreen and a cap, not even Helios himself could stop you from having a great time!

However, if you start to feel overwhelmed by the heat, we have plenty of places where you can take shelter from the sun and enjoy a moment of coolness. Sometimes, a refreshing break can be every bit as invigorating as the wildest of rollercoasters!

Stay fresh with our water attractions!

 While taking precautions and staying hydrated are excellent ways of fighting the heat, nothing compares to a good old-fashioned water ride. When we say there’s nothing quite like Tutuki Splash or Silver River Flume for starting the day soaked to the skin but with a beaming grin, we mean it!

And if that’s not enough, you can always go to Caribe Aquatic Park: our tropical paradise with a plethora of enormous slides and pools!

As you’ve seen, there’s no reason to think that heat will be a problem at PortAventura World. From ice creams to shaded areas, water attractions, and swimming pools, we’ve got everything in place for you to soar as high as Icarus without the sun melting your wings!
