4 Best Rooftop Bars in Estepona (2026 Guide)

Finding the perfect rooftop in Estepona takes local knowledge.

This charming whitewashed town on the western Costa del Sol is smaller than Málaga or Marbella, and finding it's rooftops is not straight forward.

From the highest skybar on the coast to intimate hostel terraces, each rooftop offers something unique.

We've explored every accessible rooftop in Estepona, and these four stand out for their views, atmosphere, and overall experience.

Cielo Skybar

Twelve floors above Estepona, Cielo Skybar delivers 360-degree panoramic views that make you reach for your camera before your drink even arrives.

Make the trek to the top the Mirador del Carmen building on Avenida España, and this is Estepona's highest rooftop bar, and possibly the most impressive on the western Costa del Sol.

The terrace wraps around the entire building, so every direction offers something spectacular: the Mediterranean stretching to the horizon, the Sierra Bermeja mountains rising behind the town, and Estepona's old town spread out like a map below.

Breakfast and lunch service keeps things relaxed and family-friendly.

But as sunset approaches, a DJ sets up, cocktails start flowing, and the space transforms into Estepona's most sophisticated evening scene.

There's a €3 entrance fee for non-residents (€1 for locals), but it's fully refunded against your bill.

The restaurant operates on the 10th floor with upscale Mediterranean dishes, while the skybar and open-air terrace occupy the 12th floor and rooftop.

Insider Tip: Arrive before 7pm if you want prime sunset spots on the rooftop terrace.

The west-facing edge fills up fast, and those views of the sun dropping behind the mountains are worth planning around.

Bermeja Views

Right on Plaza de las Flores in Estepona's beating heart, Bermeja Views sits atop Hotel El Pilar Andalucía offering one of the most charming rooftop perspectives in town.

The Sierra Bermeja mountains dominate the skyline, while below, the historic center's whitewashed buildings and terracotta roofs spread out in that classic Andalusian tapestry.

You're not high enough to feel detached from street life, which creates an intimate connection with the old town that taller rooftops miss.

The vibe leans sophisticated and trendy without trying too hard.

The cocktail menu showcases creative mixes alongside classics, and the kitchen serves selections from the hotel's Makako restaurant.

Hostel Veranera Rooftop

If Cielo Skybar is Estepona's most sophisticated rooftop, Hostel Veranera is its most fun.

Located on Calle Torrejón in the old town, this social hostel rooftop delivers exactly what backpacker rooftops should: good vibes, affordable drinks, a small plunge pool, and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travelers.

The views stretch across the Sierra Bermeja mountains and old town rooftops, but honestly, you'll be too busy chatting with new friends to stare at scenery for long.

What sets Veranera apart is its events calendar.

Live music performances, DJ sessions, open-air cinema nights, and community dinners create a constantly evolving atmosphere.

The cocktails are simple but well-made, and crucially, priced for travelers watching their budgets (€5-9 compared to €12-16 at upscale venues).

The small pool becomes the natural social center, especially during hot afternoons.

Open to both hostel guests and visitors, this rooftop proves you don't need premium prices to create memorable experiences.

Located on Calle Caridad just minutes from La Rada Beach, this adults-only boutique hotel offers its rooftop exclusively to guests.

The panorama stretches across Estepona's old town rooftops toward the beach, with the Sierra Bermeja mountains visible in the distance.

The vibe is deliberately calm and laid-back.
