Our best water parks in the UK
Our water parks are quite simply the centrepiece of our parks. They’re one of the best places to make those all-important memories that last a lifetime.
Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer that loves their front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, or just fancy a splash about with your friends and family, our swimming pools cater for all. Slides, flumes and even lazy rivers are part of the Haven aqua experience. Both indoor and outdoor pools are in our park’s lockers, and we feature both types in this quintessential list featuring some of the UK’s best water parks. All that’s left do is pick a Haven park, book the Haven package and get selecting your swimming slots via the handy haven.com/experience.
1. Seashore, Great Yarmouth
In a great position at the heart of the Norfolk seaside, Seashore attracts visitors from far and wide. The superior surroundings of the park are matches by the facilities at the heart of it, with The Shore Water Park a constant catch with guests.

Coastal Cyclone and Tidal Twist stand proud over the all the water. These 11 metre flumes are the latest addition to the endless options and are the UK’s FIRST double constrictor slides. If you fancy doing a few lengths, there’s a separate lane. The activity pool is the icing on the cake, doubling up as a practice area for our kayaking sessions.
2. Craig Tara, Scotland
Craig Tara hosts a wonderful world of water on the west coast of Scotland. The stunning indoor Splashaway Bay has something for every generation and is also accessible to those with reduced mobility. Formed by an array of aqua areas, the multi-level complex is home to a massive multi-lane water slide that’ll leave you wanting another go every time you ride down it. Flumes join the action at the pool, and a tipping water bucket is the pick of several wonderful water features dotted around the place.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2031
Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.
‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.
“Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed or equivalent or superior grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion. It is available across 40% of eligible Parks and applies when letting a new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home (or equivalent or superior grade for 15 weeks.
An example of how “Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of an Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home at Primrose Valley with a monthly site fee of £585.00 (includes purchasing discount of £45) and monthly letting income of £803.67. The monthly difference equates to £218.67, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2024 figures.
Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Atlas Sahara 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading.
