Think Ibiza-style pool party meets Mediterranean relaxation: Balinese beds, palm trees, live DJs, and a 500m² pool area set against the Montes de Málaga backdrop.
This isn't a hotel pool you're sneaking into - it's a purpose-built pool club designed for day guests. Capacity is limited, which keeps it from feeling overcrowded.
