The new waterpark is the second phase development of La Mer

Dubai's new beachfront leisure destination, La Mer, is about to add to its offering, with the launch of a major new waterpark this weekend.

Set to open on Saturday (12 May), the Laguna Waterpark will feature five main attractions, two of which are firsts for the Middle East.

The park will include the region's only WaveOz 180 FloRider, which utilises latest ride surface technology over 7,000sq ft (650sq m) to create a 180-degree continuous wave for surfers. It will also feature the region's first Manta family raft ride and Aqualoop. Other slides include Constrictor, Freefall and Mad Racer.

A children's zone with a Splash Pad and AquaPlay Rainfortress will accommodate younger visitors. Additionally, the park will include a lazy river and infinity pool, with the waterpark offering direct beach access and rentable cabanas. Guests will also be able to visit the surf club for food and drink, and they can also dine on the waterpark's rooftop balcony, which offers views of the Arabian Gulf.

The waterpark is the latest addition to La Mer – a Meeras development which opened in October last year. Covering 1.24sq km (0.47sq mi) of existing and reclaimed land, the La Mer neighbourhood features more than 130 shops, cafés, restaurants and beach activities stretched along a waterfront promenade. In addition to the waterpark, further developments in the area's second phase include a cinema, new shops, cafés and restaurants.
