Europe’s largest tropical resort is 26C all year round with indoor beach, swimming lagoon and new Hawaiian-themed town
IF you want to find both the world’s biggest indoor beach and the biggest indoor rainforest, you are going to want to head to Germany.
Tropical Islands in Krausnick was once Europe‘s biggest indoor waterpark.
Still claiming the title of being the largest tropical resort, the massive attraction remains a balmy 26C all year round.
Built inside a former hangar back in 2004, it stretches across a huge 10,000sqm.
Inside are four main sections – Water Worlds, Tropical Rainforest, Tropical Village and Amazonia.
The biggest is Water Worlds which has the largest indoor beach in the world, stretching 200m with sunloungers and palm trees.
Don’t worry about fighting for a space – there are a whopping 900 sunbeds across the resort.
Water Worlds is also home to a huge swimming pool the size of three Olympic sized ones and a water lagoon surrounded by Bali-style huts.
And for kids there is the 650swm Jungle Splash water playground
The Tropical Rainforest is the largest of its kind in the world with 50,000 plants inside along with a butterfly house, flamingos and turtles.
Tropical Village is where you can go for food, drink and souvenirs with huts inspired by Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo and Bali.
New last year was Ohana Town, a Hawaiian themed area with bowling, karaoke and restaurant along with overnight lodges.
And there is even a huge spa onside with seven areas of saunas and caves inspired by Cambodia, Australia and Malaysia.
But when the summer rolls around, you’ll want to head to the outdoor Amazonia area.
Outside are even more swimming pools including a surfing simulator and a whitewater canal that acts live river rapids.
Along with food and drink stands, there is also a sports area for volleyball and football alongside a sunbathing area.
Day tickets start from €34.90, (£29.48) or you can stay the night from €67.50 (£57).
The newest accommodation are the Ohana Lodges, ranging from two to five people with tropical inspired interiors.
Plans for a new hotel were announced back in 2023 although it is yet to open.
To get to Tropical Islands, Brits can fly to Berlin, which takes around 1h40, and then drive an hour to the resort.
Europe’s current largest indoor waterpark is Suntago in Poland – here’s what to expect from it.
And here is everything we know about Therme Manchester, a huge new indoor water attraction.
