A local's guide to the best pool day passes in Fuengirola. Beachfront sunbeds, buffet lunch and unlimited drinks from €30, no overnight stay needed.
A pool day pass in Fuengirola gets you a sunbed, lunch and unlimited drinks beside the water, with no overnight stay required.
There are two main options, and they're nothing alike. One is a beachfront all-inclusive hotel on the Carvajal seafront. The other is a countryside glamping resort with a spa just inland.
Both let you turn up for the day, swim, eat and head home. I've laid out the prices, what's included and how to book each one below.
If one pool day isn't enough, browse our pick of the best rooftop pools in Málaga for more sky-high sunshine.

How Much Is a Pool Day Pass in Fuengirola?
A pool day pass in Fuengirola costs between €30 and €45 per adult. The €45 Globales Gardenia pass is the all-inclusive option, with buffet lunch and unlimited drinks beside the beachfront pool.
The cheaper €30 Costa del Sol Glamping Village pass swaps the beach for a countryside resort. It includes pool and gym access plus a €20 food voucher rather than a full buffet.
Children's rates run lower, from €25 at Globales and €28 at the glamping village. Both prices are seasonal, so check the booking pages before you travel.
Can You Use a Hotel Pool in Fuengirola Without Staying?
Yes. Both venues in this guide open their pools to day guests with no overnight stay. You book a day pass, turn up, and use the pool, sunbeds and facilities for the day.
Globales Gardenia is the only true beachfront hotel pool you can access this way in Fuengirola, on the Carvajal seafront. Costa del Sol Glamping Village sits just inland and adds a gym, spa option and on-site restaurant.
Most other Fuengirola hotels keep their pools for guests only. If you want a beach club instead of a hotel pool, the bigger options sit just along the coast in Mijas Costa.

Sunset from Sohail Castle Walls
Climb the ancient Moorish castle walls as the sun sets over the Mediterranean. The 10th-century fortress offers panoramic views of Fuengirola's coastline, and the golden hour light turns the stone walls amber.
“The castle closes at 6pm in winter, 8pm in summer. Stay nearby and time your visit for the hour before closing - you'll catch the best light with fewer visitors.”
Hotel Las Rampas - Only 10 minutes walk from Sohail Castle. Close enough to visit at sunset, far enough to enjoy peaceful beachfront location.
