Twenty-ninth of August, just past midnight: the lights go down over Siam Beach as Siam Park wraps its eighth and final week of Siam Night 2026. The numbers released a few days later put attendance at over 120,000 visitors across July and August, up 20% on last year’s edition and, the park says, an all-time record for the event.
On paper it’s a simple thing to describe: every night for two months, the water park in Adeje turns under the moon into a festival pairing rides like the Tower of Power and Saifá with international DJ sets on the park’s white-sand beach, closing each night with fireworks. But behind the figures sits a specific rationale, laid out by Loro Parque Group’s vice-president, Christoph Kiessling: offering a premium water experience at the one point in the day when the heat doesn’t press down, with a night-time climate he calls “cool, pleasant and comfortable” for visitors from anywhere.
What the group has chosen to stress most, in announcing the results, isn’t the turnout itself but how it was handled. Kiessling noted the edition closed “without a single incident,” a detail the park treats as proof it’s the safest event of its kind in Europe. He also singled out the neighbours and the municipality of Adeje for what he called behaviour that was “essential” to letting a night event of this scale coexist with its surroundings.
On the resident side, Siam Night kept its 50% discount for Canary Islands residents and expanded bus service linking the island’s north, the metropolitan area and the south, making it easier for families and groups to reach Adeje from anywhere on Tenerife. That’s not a minor detail in a debate — the impact of large-scale events on the islands — that has stopped being theoretical in the Canaries in recent years, amid protests over tourist carrying capacity and rows over housing prices in the most visited areas.
Loro Parque Group also points to a harder-to-measure effect: Siam Night’s ability to pull in an international audience that previously wouldn’t have considered a water park part of a trip at all, widening what the company calls the brand’s commercial reach. In other words, the event isn’t just shifting visitors already on the island from a daytime attraction to a night-time one — according to the company, it’s generating new demand altogether. That’s a reading that, as is often the case with this kind of self-reported balance sheet, comes from the organisers themselves and will need checking against official tourism-sector data in the months ahead. For now, the park is already looking toward 2027.
