Splash Santa María Water Park: An attraction for families

Splash Santa María Water Park is the major new attraction in Cayo Santa María, Villa Clara, a tourist destination that was strongly relaunched in 2025.

Local media report that the facility is located in Plaza Santa María Arena, next to The One Gallery Collection hotel, and operates daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with an entrance fee of USD $10 per person.

They add that the park’s concept focuses on recreational water activities, offering a complementary space to the sun and beach experience. Alcoholic beverages are not served, and food and soft drinks are available at an additional cost.

The opening of the water park enhances the area’s tourist appeal by diversifying its offers, complementing the natural beauty of its beaches and reefs with structured entertainment activities.

The park particularly attracts different segments of the population, especially families, young people, and adrenaline junkies, who might prefer more dynamic options beyond sun and sand tourism.

The impact on the local community could also be very beneficial, by encouraging the creation of new job opportunities ranging from operational to managerial and maintenance positions.

The new entertainment option also offers the opportunity to create combined tourist packages (accommodation + park admission) and could make the key a unique destination compared to others in the Caribbean.

Wave pools, covered areas, and indoor activities allow the park to operate even on cloudy or rainy days.

This well-planned water park increases the key’s profitability and consolidates its position as a versatile destination, attractive year-round.
