# Ciffside Water Slides Citta Del Mare Hotel's Water Slide Flows Down a Cliff into the Ocean By Allen Taylor | Published 2014-04-02 | Updated 2014-04-07 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-slides References: [waveavenue](http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/thrilling-waterslide-in-sicily-takes-you-straight-to-the-mediterranean-sea) & [cittadelmare.it](http://www.cittadelmare.it/en/) There are plenty of hotels that have a pool with a water slide, but how many hotels have a water slide that takes you straight into the Mediterranean Sea? The hotel Citta Del Mare is located in Sicily, Italy and it offers just that. The water slide is a fun idea for hotels in warm climates; the massive slide drapes down the cliff side and adds another dimension to the resort. The slide has four sections that all lead to different pools. You can literally slide from pool to pool and stop at whatever point you want along the way to catch some sun-rays. The water-fall-like slide is surrounded by wonderful views of the Gulf of Castellammare. After you take a plunge into the pool and head down the slides, you're welcomed by the warm Mediterranean ocean. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ocean Water Slides:** Opportunity for hotels in warm coastal climates to incorporate water slides that lead straight into the ocean for a unique guest experience. - **Cliffside Amenities:** Opportunity for hotels with cliffside properties to leverage the natural landscape for recreational amenities such as water slides and zip lines. - **Integrated Pool Systems:** Opportunity for hotels with large pool areas to integrate slides and other water features that offer guests a variety of experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts worldwide can explore the possibility of incorporating exciting recreational amenities such as water slides to attract guests and improve overall experiences. - **Tourism:** Destinations in warm coastal climates can invest in developing unique recreational offerings such as water slides that lead directly into the ocean to expand tourism appeal. - **Waterpark:** Waterpark and recreational facility operators can explore integrating natural landscapes such as cliffs to offer unique water slide experiences to guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sandwich-Inspired Water Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-n-slides.md) - [Restored Historic Cliffside Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-santandrea.md) - [Coastal Courtyard Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patio-house-residence.md) - [Living Waterslide Wellness Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therme-manchester-wellness-resort.md) - [Minimal Wooden Lush Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boca-de-agua.md) - [Dramatic Clifftop Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-yuri.md) - [Playfully Color-Blocked Seaside Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-haway.md) - [Outdoor Waterslide Drinking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-do-you-meme-slip-sip-flip.md) - [Asymmetrical Ultra-Compact Pools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faraway-pool.md)
