Laberintus Park Málaga

Málaga is set to unveil a groundbreaking attraction with the launch of Laberintus Park, the world’s first biotechnological maze. Opening on 22 February 2025, this innovative park is located in Humilladero, a village in the province of Málaga, and promises an interactive, educational, and immersive experience for visitors of all ages.

Spanning 7,400 square metres, Laberintus Park is not only the largest maze in Spain but also a pioneering project in sustainable tourism. Designed by Adrian Fisher, a world-renowned maze architect, the park takes inspiration from Granada’s Alhambra, blending Moorish aesthetics with cutting-edge biotechnology.

Biotechnology meets nature

What makes Laberintus Park unique is its integration of biotechnology within a natural setting. The park’s design incorporates:

  • Bioreactors that generate energy and extract water from the soil, ensuring sustainability.
  • Interactive plants that act as biological antennas, responding to touch by detecting frequency changes.
  • Green technology that enhances the visitor experience while promoting environmental awareness.

This fusion of science and nature makes Laberintus Park much more than just a maze—it is an educational experience that showcases the potential of biotechnology in a fun and engaging way.

A maze for all ages

Whether you’re looking for a quick adventure or a real challenge, Laberintus Park offers two maze experiences. The shorter route can be completed in around 30 minutes and is perfect for families with young children or those looking for a relaxing walk. Meanwhile, the longer route is designed for those seeking a test of skill and patience and will take up to two hours to navigate.

Beyond the maze itself, the park features:

  • Escape rooms and adventure games to challenge problem-solving skills.
  • Interactive learning zones that explain the biotechnology used in the park.
  • Team-building activities designed for schools, businesses, and group visits.

With a mix of nature, science, and fun, the park is an ideal destination for families, nature lovers, and curious minds.

A sustainable vision for Málaga tourism

The development of Laberintus Park has been a six-year project, aiming to enhance Málaga’s reputation as an innovative and sustainable tourism hub. While the park is expected to attract international visitors, it is also designed for residents and visitors from across Andalucía.

Unlike traditional amusement parks, Laberintus Park promotes:

  • Sustainability, with energy-efficient systems and eco-friendly materials.
  • Education, introducing visitors to biotechnology and its practical applications.
  • Community engagement, encouraging school groups and businesses to participate in interactive experiences.
