A TENERIFE water park has being voted the world’s best for 10 successive years, courtesy of the 2024 Traveller’s Choice Awards from the TripAdvisor online travel portal.
The accolade goes to the Siam Park on the Costa Adeje- located in the south of Tenerife.
Among the reasons given for travellers choosing Siam Park is its recreation of the ancient Thai kingdom from which it takes its name, along with all kinds of water experiences covering over 85,000 m2.

There is plenty on offer from dizzying slides, pools of all shapes and sizes(including big artificial waves), huge areas to slide through, exotic forests, and zig-zagging rivers.
It is divided into three sections- Relax, Family, and Adrenaline.
There’a a kilometre-long tropical river known as the Mai Thai River along with various beaches and a sea-lion pool plus the Floating Market shaped like a typical Thai village.
The Tenerife complex has welcomed 14 million visitors since opening in 2008, and the TripAdvisor award consolidates its position as the ‘most awarded’ water park on the planet.
It is also number one in competitions such as the European Star Award or the Park World Excellence Award.
Many of its individual attractions such as Singha, Kinnaree or The Dragon have also been award winners.
TripAdvisor bosses take into account the absence of security issues, proper management of the facilities, the treatment given to visitors, and the transparency in comments published on their site, which means that contenders that want to apply for an award cannot manipulate the process.
The spectacular nature of the attractions, care of the park and the vegetation it boasts are also analysed.
Siam Park has obtained the highest score in the last year from water park users on the online platform- used by over 460 million travellers every month, with nearly one billion opinions.
To establish an award winner, TripAdvisor uses an algorithm that analyses the quantity and quality of reviews made on it.
