Magic Natura occupies a hillside position within the Terra Natura animal park on the outskirts of Benidorm, giving you a safari-style setting with distant sea and skyline views rather than the usual high-rise backdrop. You’re a short transfer from Benidorm’s famous Levante and Poniente beaches, but back at base the mood is all tropical wood, lush planting and animal encounters.

Benidorm’s buzzing nightlife, Old Town tapas bars and shopping streets are a taxi ride away, while day trips to theme parks, coastal viewpoints and inland villages are easy to arrange. This is a fantastic base if you want the buzz of Benidorm on tap but prefer to sleep somewhere with a bit more space and character.

• Located inside Terra Natura animal park
• Approx. 6km to Benidorm resort centre
• Approx. 5.5km to Levante beach
• Approx. 5km to the Poniente area

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour 30 minutes from Alicante (ALC)

Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain

Dining at Magic Natura is extensive and very family-friendly, with a mix of buffets and themed à la carte venues, plus a string of bars for poolside drinks and evening cocktails.

Buffet & casual options
Tuvalu Restaurant is the main buffet hub, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with live show-cooking and a dedicated kids’ buffet. Expect a rotating line-up of Mediterranean favourites, international dishes and simple options for fussier eaters. Tuvalu 2 operates as a snack buffet, ideal for grabbing something between park sessions, while Tuvalu 3 covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with even more show-cooking, microwaves and highchairs to make life with little ones easy.

À la carte restaurants
• Italian Natura – Rooftop à la carte specialising in Italian classics, with kids’ menu and sunset views.
• Paella Restaurant – A relaxed rooftop lunchtime spot showcasing Spanish rice dishes and local flavours.
• Tangaloa International Meat Restaurant – A carnivore-pleasing grill concept serving international cuts and hearty mains.

Bars & lounges
From daytime refreshment to after-dinner drinks, there’s a bar wherever you wander:
• Bora Bora Lounge Terrace & Kontiki – Rooftop lounges for evening cocktails under the stars.
• La Pagoda Taman Ayun, Pura Besakih & Vulkan – Pool bars for chilled drinks, ice creams and long, lazy afternoons.
• Magic Natura Waterpark Bar – Handy for cold drinks and snacks inside Aqua Natura.
• Rapanui Terrace Bar – An atmospheric evening bar for shows and family nights.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in some venues and facility opening times are seasonal and occupancy-dependent. Reservations or supplements can vary by board basis – we’ll confirm the latest with your quote.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

With three main pool zones, a splash park and direct access to Aqua Natura, water babies are in heaven here.

Main resort pools
• A generous freshwater pool with children’s section and plenty of sunbeds and parasols.
• A stylish pool area with whirlpool zone, Balinese beds and parasols – great for parents grabbing some downtime.
• A fun-focused freshwater pool with tipping bucket, jets, children’s section and whirlpool features, surrounded by hammocks and loungers.

Splash & aqua parks
The on-site splash park is built for younger kids, with tipping buckets, water jets and mini slides. Bigger children (and thrill-seeking adults) can head next door to Aqua Natura waterpark, included in your stay, featuring high-speed slides, multi-lane racers and an aqua bowl, plus a wave pool and family-friendly attractions. Age, height or weight restrictions apply on some rides for safety.

Beaches
You’re inland here for the animal park setting, but it’s a short taxi to Benidorm’s legendary beaches. Levante is the lively one with water sports and bars, while Poniente offers a slightly quieter promenade and wide sands – easy half-day or full-day trips when you fancy a change of scene.

Magic Natura packs in activities when you’re not out spotting wildlife or riding slides.

Spa & wellness
There’s a compact spa area with sauna, whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (16+; charges apply). A hygiene kit including swim cap and flip flops is required to use the spa, purchased locally. Guests on All Inclusive Plus receive complimentary spa hours on longer stays, adding a grown-up treat to the family fun.

Fitness & sports
• Air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment (minimum age usually 18 years).
• Organised aqua aerobics, basketball, darts, football and volleyball.

Other facilities
• 24-hour reception and concierge-style assistance.
• On-site mini-market for essentials and snacks.
• Wheelchair hire available (local charge).
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the resort.

Seasonal opening dates and times can vary; we’ll advise the latest details when you enquire.

• A valid credit card or refundable cash deposit (around €150 per room) is payable on arrival for incidentals.
• Cots are on request and carry a local nightly fee (subject to change).
• Stag/hen parties and large celebration groups are not accepted, keeping the resort strongly family-focused.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I really get unlimited access to Terra Natura and Aqua Natura when staying at Magic Natura?
Yes. One of the biggest perks of Magic Natura Animal Waterpark & Polynesian Lodge Resort is unlimited entry to Terra Natura animal park and Aqua Natura waterpark for the duration of your stay. You can pop in and out throughout the day. Do note that food, snacks and most drinks within Terra Natura are payable, while at Aqua Natura only cold drinks and cold snacks from the Magic Natura waterpark bar are included on All Inclusive.

2. How far is Magic Natura from Benidorm’s beaches and nightlife?
Magic Natura sits in the hills above Benidorm inside Terra Natura, around 6km from the resort centre. Levante beach is approximately 5.5km away and Poniente around 5km. A short taxi ride brings you to the seafront promenade, Old Town tapas bars and evening entertainment, while the resort itself has a full daytime and evening entertainment schedule if you prefer to stay on-site.

3. What’s the difference between All Inclusive and All Inclusive Plus at Magic Natura?
All Inclusive covers buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, snacks including ice cream for a minimum of three hours per day, and local drinks (plus selected branded drinks) typically from 10:00–24:00 across a choice of bars. All Inclusive Plus (also called All Inclusive Ultra) adds a stocked minibar on arrival, spa entry on longer stays, access to Magic beach clubs, discounted day passes to selected Magic hotels and one entry per person to themed dinner shows such as Princesses and Knights or Medieval Challenge on stays of four nights or more, all subject to season and availability.

4. Is Magic Natura suitable for young children and teens?
Very. Lodges are designed with families in mind, there are children’s pools, splash zones, kids’ buffets, a children’s club (approx. 4–10yrs), a games room for older kids and teens, plus evening mini-discos and family-friendly shows. Aqua Natura has attractions for a wide range of ages, though height and age restrictions apply on some slides. Teens also tend to love the mix of slides, sports and gaming zones.

5. Are there quieter areas for parents to relax?
Although Magic Natura is primarily a family-focused resort, there are calmer corners. The pool with Balinese beds and whirlpool is more relaxed, and Premium and All Inclusive Plus guests benefit from access to VIP areas with hammocks and Balinese beds, subject to availability. The spa (16+) offers a peaceful escape with sauna, whirlpool and treatment rooms, ideal for an hour or two away from the slides.

6. What are the lodge facilities like – will we have basic self-catering amenities?
All lodges come with essentials such as air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TV, fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee-making facilities, plus a terrace. That makes it easy to keep drinks cool, warm up baby food or snacks and enjoy simple bites in your own space, while still benefiting from the convenience of All Inclusive dining if you choose that board. Daily cleaning and towel changes are included.

7. Are there any extra local charges I should be aware of?
You’ll usually be asked for a refundable deposit of around €150 per room (or a valid credit card) on arrival. Spa access requires purchase of a hygiene kit (swim cap and flip flops). Cots are available on request for a nightly fee, and services such as wheelchair hire and some activities or branded drinks carry extra charges. We’ll outline any known local fees clearly in your Travelisto quote.
