Almika Rooftop Terrace

Almika Rooftop Terrace brings beachfront dining and drinks to an elevated level - literally.

Located on the first floor of the Las Gaviotas building along Paseo Marítimo, this terrace offers direct Mediterranean views without the high-rise height.

It's the perfect bridge between beach casual and rooftop sophistication.

Close enough to the sand that post-beach visits feel natural, elevated enough that the views and atmosphere level up.

The Vibe

Step onto Almika's terrace and you're immediately in that perfect post-beach zone.

Elevated enough to feel special, casual enough that you don't need to change out of resort wear.

The atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious.

Pricing sits in that middle ground...more than beach chiringuitos, less than hotel rooftops, which feels right for the elevated-but-casual positioning.

The View & Seating

The first-floor terrace position creates intimate connection with the beach while providing enough elevation for unobstructed sea views.

What you see:

• Mediterranean stretching to the horizon
• Beach and swimmers directly below
• Coastal promenade activity
• Sunset over the water (prime time at the terrace)
• Boats and water sports during the day
• Coastal lights creating atmosphere after dark

Seating options:

• Terrace tables with direct sea views (book these early)
• Interior tables for air-conditioned comfort
• Bar seating for solo visitors or couples
• Mix of sun and shaded zones during day
• Family-friendly table configurations

The west-facing orientation makes sunset spectacular. The terrace catches that golden hour light beautifully, and watching the sun drop into the Mediterranean becomes the evening's entertainment.

How to Book & Access

Reservations:

• Recommended for weekend evenings and sunset sessions

Walk-in friendly: Outside peak times, you can usually grab a table without advance booking. The beachfront location means there's steady flow rather than overwhelming crowds.

Dress Code

Almika embraces beachfront casual - this is one rooftop where your beach attire won't raise eyebrows.

What works:

• Beach casual throughout the day
• Cover-ups over swimwear perfectly acceptable
• Flip-flops and sandals welcome
• Evening: Still relaxed, though most people make slight effort
• Resort wear standard

The vibe: Come as you are. This is coastal Spain, not a nightclub.

The relaxed dress code reflects the accessible, welcoming atmosphere. You're meters from the beach - overly formal dress would feel out of place.
