Suntago Water World is so huge it can host 15,000 visitors per day and it's the largest waterpark on the continent.
Soon, it will be able to accommodate more guests staying over as it announces plans for the future, including constructing a four-star hotel
Idan Greidinger, CEO of Park of Poland told Blooloop: 'Suntago Water World will be the best place to spend free time with friends and family, seven days a week, all year round.
'It will attract visitors not only from all over Poland, but also from other European countries."
You can currently stay at Suntago in their accommodation called the 'village'.
On-site are 92 fully equipped bungalows ranging from four-person to eight-person.
For guests staying over there are shops, a communal bonfire and grill area, children's playground, bike rental and a shuttle bus to the waterpark.
The CEO also revealed that the 35 slides will be upgraded too: 'We are working on a new version of the slide zone.
"I can only reveal that we will conquer the magical world to which we invite our guests who are looking for adrenaline and good fun."
The area is known for its tropical landscape and keeps at an average of 32C.

Another added: "Amazing place pure fun, the best spa and Sauna in Poland."
Suntago Water World also opened the new family-friendly Crocodile Island area earlier this year.
Crocodile Island forms a new part of Jamango and has four sections, Boat, Beach, Rainforest and Ruins.
Kids will be able to play games, make the most of the climbing structures and even build their own island.
Set across 75,000sqm, there are three other zones to explore - Jamango, Relax Suntago, and Saunaria.
For any families with young children, head to Jamango which is jungle themed with plenty of water slides, a lazy river and baby pools.

This is where the water slides are found, as well as a 130m lazy river and baby pools.
Relax Suntago is the adults only area with guests having to be 16 or over.
And it's truly relaxing with hot tubs, thermal pools, Sulphur pools and ones of brine too.
In Saunaria, there are 15 saunas and steam rooms and hot tub pools.
The attraction is about an hour's drive away from Warsaw.
The massive European waterpark with 14 themed lands is opening a new outdoor pool and a 150-seat swim-up bar.
And the huge waterpark two hours from the UK is super affordable – with 12 slides, lazy river and pool bars.

Airline staff being trained to bar people without visas from flights to UK
Thousands of European airline staff are being trained to stop people boarding flights to Britain without valid visas, in a move billed by the foreign secretary as a digital upgrade to border controls. David Lammy said the measures marked a step towards 'more secure, more digital and more effective' borders, but the move could raise questions about human rights safeguards. More than 9,000 airline workers at carriers including Wizz Air, Jet2 and Lufthansa, have undertaken training to verify UK visa documents at departure gates in 39 countries, including those on major transit routes for irregular migration such as Greece, Malta, Italy and Albania. The scheme, delivered by the Foreign Office, deputises airline workers as frontline immigration officers, blocking passengers from even attempting to travel without the correct paperwork. The training is part of the broader rollout of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) and eVisa system, which requires travellers – including many EU citizens – to pre-register before entering the UK. It represents a significant overhaul to UK border controls and is now being touted as a key aspect of Labour's immigration crackdown. Lammy said: 'Tackling irregular migration demands cooperation across borders and industries to disrupt the pathways used by those attempting to enter the UK illegally. We're sending a clear message – air travel simply isn't an option without proper authorisation and registration.' The initiative could attract scrutiny from civil liberties groups that express concern over legitimate travellers, especially asylum seekers, and would outsource critical immigration decisions to private airline staff. It comes as Labour seek to outflank Reform UK on border control and respond to what the party believes is public anxiety over uncontrolled immigration. Keir Starmer is seeking to maintain a hard rhetorical line, with returns and enforcement appearing to be central to his government's approach. The eVisa system, which replaces physical ID with digital status checks, allows the government to update and track individuals' immigration status in real time. Ministers say this will make it easier to take enforcement action against overstayers and enable landlords, employers and service providers to verify people's rights in the UK more easily. British Airways said the training had been helpful for its staff, making them feel 'more confident and prepared' to implement the system. But campaigners said the policy raises questions about accountability, particularly in cases where boarding is denied in error. According to official statistics, 30,000 people have been returned under current policies, with a 23% rise in enforced returns and a 14% increase in deportations of foreign offenders since the 2024 general election. Diplomats have been instructed to promote the ETA scheme directly to European governments, while a public information campaign is being rolled out to alert EU citizens about the new travel rules. A British Airways spokesperson said: 'As a carrier, this kind of insight is extremely useful and absolutely critical for us as it will guide us in how to process our customer whilst complying with the UK laws. Our stations feel more confident and prepared in using the ETA/eVisa system.'

Passport prices could rise AGAIN in another blow for British holidaymakers
The cost of a new passport could rise by a whopping £32 in the latest blow for millions of British holidaymakers. Ministers have been urged to increase the current £95 renewal fee to address a growing black hole in the Passport Office's budget. The department recorded a budget shortfall of £223million last year and a £916million deficit over the past five years. The National Audit Office, which scrutinises public spending, has recommended that the Passport Office increase the cost of its services to address the issue. It did not, however, give a figure for how much the passport renewal fees should increase by. According to The Telegraph, the Passport Office, would need to charge each applicant £32 more to overcome last year's shortfall. The cost of renewing passports has already risen significantly in recent years. The department drastically hiked prices for adult passports in February 2023 - from £75.50 to £82.50. Fees then rose again by 7 per cent last year - before an inflation busting increase of 6.7 per cent in April. The Home Office previously said the new fees were necessary to ensure the cost of passport operations is met without relying on taxpayer funding. It added that fees help cover passport processing, consular services for lost or stolen passports, and border operations. Adults must currently pay £94.50 for a new passport, while a one-day renewal costs £222. Nearly seven million new passports were issued last year. Adult passports are valid for ten years, while passports for children are valid for just five. A Home Office spokesperson said there were no 'immediate plans' to increase fees. Meanwhile, the National Audit Office declined to comment on the estimated price hike. The call for higher passport renewal fees came in a wider report by the National Audit Office into government services. A total £340million shortfall was found across all the services looked at - including UK Visas and Immigration, the Court and Tribunals Service and the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. The National Audit Office's report concluded: 'Many government departments rely on charging fees to recover the costs of providing services to people and businesses. 'But none of the services we looked at recovered costs consistently, and the charges for the services may not accurately reflect the costs.' 'The government is missing opportunities to deliver efficiencies and share good practice,' it added. 'This poses risks to the financial resilience of public services, the costs of which are likely to be borne by future fee payers.' Gareth Davies, head of the National Audit Office said: 'Government bodies provide important services for the public and businesses, including issuing passports and driving licences, and filing company information. 'But many are not consistently recovering their costs - posing risks to the financial resilience of these services and fairness between users. 'HM Treasury should strengthen how it oversees cost recovery processes and provide more comprehensive guidance to charging bodies.'

British Airways crew mistakenly booked into a sex dungeon and were kept awake by 24-hour orgy
BRITISH Airways crew were mistakenly booked into a sex dungeon — and got no sleep owing to moans and groans from a 24-hour orgy. Staff who tried to kip in bondage-themed beds were unable to work the next day. 3 3 Their bosses booked the team into the Motel in the Italian city of Milan but had confused it with the nearby Hotel. At least 12 staff were made to stay in the seedy hub, which boasts a vagina-shaped spa bath. A source told The Sun: 'Crew were booked into a pay-by-the-hour sex hotel last Thursday. They were confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses. 'It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay. "Getting proper rest is essential to maintaining the safety of aircraft and passengers. 'It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but had serious implications. Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day. They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night. 'Staff reported constant noise, and witnessed 'drug deals and prostitution', as well as a '24-hour orgy. 'There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.' Despite the mix-up, there were no reported delays to BA flights. The airline said: 'A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms due to availability issues with our usual provider, without our knowledge. We are urgently investigating to prevent a repeat.' Group STUNNED after finding 'sex dungeon' in their Airbnb after opening door with broken handle 3
