Why families choose an apartment for theme-park trips
- Separate bedrooms: early nights for the children, a quiet evening for the adults.
- A kitchen: breakfast before the gates open, packed snacks, and simple dinners when everyone is tired.
- A washer-dryer: wash the water-park clothes and wear them again.
- Free parking: drive to the parks and back without paying for hotel parking.
Which apartment fits your family
A two-bedroom apartment (105 m²) sleeps up to 5, a three-bedroom (158 m²) up to 8 and a four-bedroom (210 m²) up to 10, so grandparents and cousins can travel together. Children of all ages are welcome; ask for a cot when you book. More on our family apartments page.
Planning tips
- Check opening days and times on each park's official website before you go; they change by season.
- Leave early. Arriving at opening time means shorter queues and cooler weather.
- Plan rest days. Mix park days with a pool afternoon at the hotel or a trip to Ibn Battuta Mall.
- Bring water and sun protection, especially from spring to autumn.
