Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the water and spend quality time with your family. At Testa we know how important it is to have family time. And what better way to spend it than doing fun outdoor activities with water during the summer? They’ll help you stay cool, and you’ll find plenty of options for things you can do together.

Underwater exploration

If you love exploring under water, snorkelling and scuba diving can turn any summer day into a memorable adventure. It’s fun and it’s educational, giving kids first-hand experience of marine biodiversity.

Places such as the Canary Islands, Costa Brava, and Costa del Sol are famous for their clear waters and rich marine life.

Kayaking and paddle surfing

If you’re steady on your feet or want to try something new, kayaking and paddle surfing are an excellent option for practising teamwork and coordination. Many coastal areas and reservoirs in Spain have kayak and paddleboard rental, so there’s no need to buy your own.

This kind of activity is suitable for all ages and skill levels, combining exercise with adventure.

Water parks

If you’re looking for an adrenaline-pumping experience, water parks are just the ticket. With dizzying slides, wave pools and interactive play areas, they offer fun for all the family.

Spain has many popular water parks, including Siam Park in Tenerife, Aqualandia in Benidorm and Aquópolis in Villanueva de la Cañada.

Chilling by the pool

A more laid-back but equally rewarding option is to make the most of the pool in your own residential complex or in a vacation resort. Communal pools provide a convenient, safe space for the whole family to cool off and relax. In our homes, you can have a communal pool at your entire disposal, perfect for cooling off under the Mediterranean sun or simply stretching out on a lounger with a good book. Our homes in Barcelona and Valencia offer all the facilities for family leisure during the summer.

Excursions to nearby lakes and rivers

If you like to get close to nature, another way to enjoy the water with your family is by organising an excursion to a nearby lake or river. You can swim, picnic on the shore, or even fish. Lakes and rivers are often less crowded than beaches and water parks, providing a more relaxed and tranquil environment for family time.

Surfing and bodyboarding

For thrill-seekers and sports enthusiasts, surfing and bodyboarding are hugely enjoyable and satisfying. The beaches in northern Spain, such as in San Sebastián and Santander, offer excellent conditions for these activities. They take practice and skill, but surfing and bodyboarding are extremely rewarding and fun. Many surf schools in these areas offer beginner classes, so you can learn and enjoy with the entire family.

At Testa, we are committed to providing spaces where families can live in comfort and enjoy their time together to the full. This summer, come and discover all the wonderful water activities you can enjoy, creating vivid memories that will last a lifetime.
