A HUGE new waterpark has opened in a very popular winter sun holiday destination.
The Grand Hyatt Dubai Resort opened its massive new water attraction last month.
Working with waterpark experts WhiteWater, the attraction is set across 20,000sqm.
A huge central swimming pool, as well as a wave pool are in the middle of the waterpark.
There are also 16 attractions, including two tower slides.
One, called Boomerang, lets up to six guests slide next to each other with a 90-degree slop and “zero-gravity wall”.
Or there is Freefall Plus, where riders are launched at speed town the slide, as well as the dual-ride Aqua Twist and Parallel Pursit.
There is even a surf simulator and a lazy river to try, as well as a fake beach with simulated waves.
For younger guests, there is a dedicated area with shallower pool and splash towers, as well as more shaded seating.
Otherwise you can also rent private luxury cabanas which have their own plunge pools.

The hotel’s managing director Fathi Khogaly said: “The opening of our new waterpark marks a significant milestone for Grand Hyatt Dubai, as it elevates our leisure offerings and transforms the property into a truly unique destination, where large-scale events, exceptional hospitality and unforgettable leisure experiences seamlessly come together.
The waterpark is currently only open to guests of the Grand Hyatt Dubai Resort.

However, non-guest access to the waterpark is soon to be rolled out.
