Magic Natura Animal and water Park, Benidorm
If you’ve got a big family (3+ kids) and you’re tired of hotels that either split you across two rooms or hike up the price the minute you say “we’ve got five,” then Magic Natura in Benidorm might just be the unicorn you’ve been looking for.
Magic Natura is a family resort made up of lodges, set right inside Terra Natura (the animal park) and right next to Aqua Natura (the water park). The best bit? You get free unlimited all-inclusive access to both parks for your entire stay. That means you can go see the elephants after breakfast, head to the water slides before lunch, and pop back in for a wander among the animals later – all without spending an extra cent. For kids, it’s basically heaven on earth.
Lodges
The accommodation is lodge-style, which works brilliantly for larger families.
They range from smaller studio Lodges for couples, to 3-bedroom lodges that sleep up to 7 people (hallelujah for big families!).
They have Premium lodges with hot tubs – a little treat for parents once the kids are asleep.
There are also adapted lodges designed for guests with disabilities, so accessibility is thoughtfully covered.
​
Every lodge has its own terrace with seating, and the layouts mean you don’t feel like you’re living on top of each other. They’re not ultra-glam, but they’re roomy, practical, and far more relaxing than cramming everyone into a single hotel room.
We have visited 3 times and always stayed in a 2 Bedroom supreme Bali lodge which had a double bed in one room and bunk beds in another with a Jack and Jill bathroom in between, there is also a lounge area with single sofa bed and a little kitchenette with a mini fridge.
Food and Drink,
There are three options
-
Bed and Breakfast
-
All inclusive
-
Ultra All-inclusive
We have only ever had the All-inclusive package. so we don’t have to keep digging for change every time someone’s hungry (which, if your kids are anything like mine, is all the time).
The main buffet restaurant has plenty of choice from fresh salads and grilled meats to pastas and the all-important nuggets and chips. There are also à la carte options for a bit of variety but depending on the food package you booked is whether they are included or cost extra.
Drinks are included too on the all inclusive packages, everything from slushies at the pool bars to cocktail's to watch the shows in the evening.
the pool bars also serve snacks and ice creams throughout the day.
With the All-inclusive package's, you also get food and drinks included down at the water park from a special hotel guests only area.
When you arrive you will need to pay a refundable deposit for a reusable cup for all of your drinks as the hotel is very into their sustainability for the planet.
You can also bring your own drinks bottles with you if you don't want to use theirs.
Getting around,
The resort is quite spread out and hilly, but there’s a mini bus service that ferries guests between lodges, restaurants, and the parks – lifesaver if you’ve got tired little legs or a buggy.
Even better, there’s a free shuttle to Benidorm beach, so you can mix things up with a day of sand and sea without worrying about taxis.
On your arrival and departure days you will be offered a golf buggy to take you and your luggage to your lodge if it isn't within close distance to reception.
Activities and Entertainment,
Even when you're not at the animal park or water park, there's still a lot happening at the resort. With pools, kid's clubs, evening entertainment, netted football areas, and a games room for teens, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Parents can also find peaceful corners throughout the resort, with a gym and a small spa for a little escape.
There are nightly shows in either the Rapanui Bar area and the La Palapa Agung Vulkaan bar area.
The main pool area can be very Lively at times with Music, shows, games and even a foam party.
There are 5 pools plus a toddler pool and kids splash areas with slides etc.
​
Family Friendly Deals,
One of the best things is how family-focused the pricing is. They offer special discounts for large families, plus single parent deals, which is a refreshing change compared to hotels that seem to punish you for not fitting the “standard family of four” box. You can also sign up for their magic amigos club for free and this will get you a discounted rate.
Final Thoughts,
Magic Natura is a brilliant pick for bigger families who want space, activities, and value for money. The unlimited access to both animal and water parks is what makes it so special – you’re not just booking a hotel, you’re signing up for a full-blown adventure. If your kids love animals, splashing about, and plenty of action, this is the kind of holiday they’ll talk about for years.
