36-5º Rooftop Bar at Hotel Ángela

Adults-only rooftop bar with Mediterranean views, author cocktails celebrating Andalusian flavors, live music, and sophisticated chill atmosphere.

36-5º Rooftop Bar brings author cocktails and Mediterranean views to Fuengirola's rooftop scene with sophisticated, adults-only atmosphere.

Located on top of Hotel Ángela, this exclusive rooftop bar operates with clear priorities: quality over quantity, Andalusian flavors over generic cocktails, and adult sophistication over family-friendly accessibility.

The cocktail program celebrates regional ingredients, creating signature drinks that taste like they belong on the Costa del Sol.

Best For

  • Adults seeking sophisticated cocktail experiences without family energy
  • Cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate regional ingredient storytelling
  • Couples wanting romantic evening sessions with live music
  • Groups celebrating special occasions in refined settings
  • Travelers interested in Andalusian flavors beyond standard offerings

Not Ideal For

  • Families with children - strict +18 adults-only policy
  • Those seeking year-round availability (seasonal March-October)
  • Visitors wanting extended late-night hours on weekdays
  • Budget travelers - premium cocktails mean premium pricing

The Vibe

Step onto 36-5º's terrace and you immediately notice what's absent.

No children, generic cocktails, and the casual resort energy that dominates Costa del Sol rooftops.

This is deliberately adult space, designed for sophisticated evening sessions where the cocktails matter as much as the views.

The View & Seating

The rooftop position provides Mediterranean coastal perspectives that justify the rooftop designation.

What you see:

  • Mediterranean Sea stretching toward the horizon
  • Fuengirola's coastline and beach
  • Sunset over the water during evening sessions
  • Coastal development and marina area
  • Stars emerging as evening progresses

Seating:

  • Limited capacity ensuring intimate atmosphere
  • Lounge seating for relaxed cocktail sessions
  • High-top tables for small groups
  • Bar seating for solo visitors or cocktail focus
  • Strategic positioning maximizing sea views

The limited seating is deliberate - creating exclusivity and ensuring everyone gets quality space and bartender attention.

Events & Live Music

Live music performances are regularly scheduled, particularly during peak season. The performances extend kitchen hours (until 22:00) and create different atmosphere from standard cocktail evenings.

Check their website or Instagram before visiting to see what entertainment is scheduled for your dates.

How to Make a Reservation

Reservations: Highly recommended given:

  • Limited seating capacity
  • Adults-only exclusivity
  • Restricted operating hours (only Thu-Sun)
  • Popular live music evenings

Contact:

Walk-ins: Possible during quieter Thursday/Sunday evenings, but Friday-Saturday typically fills quickly.

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.

Where to Stay

Hotel Las Rampas - Only 10 minutes walk from Sohail Castle. Close enough to visit at sunset, far enough to enjoy peaceful beachfront location.
