The Vibe
H10 Croma's rooftop bar has a beautiful Mediterranean-style design that immediately puts you at ease when you arrive. The atmosphere is polished but never pretentious, with soft background music, attentive service, and just the right amount of buzz to feel alive without being overwhelming.
The crowd is a mix of hotel guests, locals catching up over drinks, and visitors who have discovered this spot through word of mouth. During the day, it is relaxed and sun-drenched. As evening approaches and the lights come on across the city, the energy picks up slightly, but it remains a place for conversation rather than loud celebration.
The terrace itself is spacious and well-designed, with different seating zones that cater to various moods. Whether you want to sit at the bar, lounge on comfortable sofas, or grab a high table with unobstructed views, there is a spot that fits. The service team moves efficiently without being intrusive, adding to the overall sense of relaxed sophistication.

The View & Seating
From the rooftop at H10 Croma, you get genuine 360-degree views that take in Malaga's rooftops, the cathedral spire, the surrounding mountains, and distant glimpses of the sea. The sunset here is particularly impressive, with the mountains providing a dramatic backdrop as the sky changes colour.

- High tables along the terrace edge for unobstructed panoramas
- Bar seating for those who want to watch the cocktails being made

For the restaurant area: Reservations are recommended if you plan to dine, particularly for dinner near sunset. You can book through the hotel directly or via the H10 app.
