CAMP UNDER THE STARS

If you take elements of family camping, throw in a couple of modern twists and place it inside the urban Laguna Waterpark, you’ve got yourself a unique and wholesome experience. Plan your next staycation in advance.

Nestled at the beachfront hotspot, La Mer, Laguna Waterpark by Meraas offers campers a Miami beach-esque vibe in the form of tall palm trees, vintage-style wooden signs and colourful beach shacks.

ACCOMMODATION

A friendly staff member guided us through the water park and led us to the closed-off campsite where ten teepee tents were arranged in a semicircle, overlooking a picturesque view of the ocean along La Mer North Beach. Of the two types of tents on offer, we stayed in a two-person tent that comfortably fits a family of three - if your child is on the younger side. For larger families, you can opt for the spacious four-person tent.

The tent comes equipped with a mattress, pillows, soft throws, towels and a bag of useful bathroom amenities. There’s no storage space around the tent for luggage, so you’ll either need to keep it outside, or inside the tent with you - which we recommend as the humidity overnight may dampen your belongings.
