Is There a Pool Club in Málaga?
Yes, two. Isla Pool Club at La Hípica is a dedicated, Ibiza-style pool club with a 500m² pool, DJs and day packages from €50, open summers only. B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga is a year-round hotel rooftop pool with day passes from €45, including lunch and a sunbed. Both are open to non-hotel guests.
B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga
B-Heaven is the rooftop pool at Barceló Málaga, right next to María Zambrano train station. At €45 per person, it's the more affordable option and sits in the heart of the city.
The pool itself is small. It's a plunge pool, not a lap pool. But the vibe is calm and sophisticated, and the city views stretch across the skyline in every direction.
What's Included
- Full-day access to the rooftop pool and solarium (10:00 AM – 8:00 PM)
- Sunbed and towel service
- Two-course lunch inspired by local Málaga cuisine
- 18+ only
- No advance reservation required. Pay at reception on arrival.
Good to Know
Sunbeds are limited, so arrive early on hot summer days. There's no DJ or music. This is a relaxed, adult-only escape, not a party pool. Its location near the station makes it a good option if you're arriving or leaving Málaga by train.
Price: €45 per person
Isla Pool Club
Isla Pool Club is a purpose-built pool club at La Hípica, just 3 km from the city centre. It's the closest thing Málaga city has to a beach club with a pool. Think Ibiza-style pool party meets Mediterranean calm: Balinese beds, palm trees, live DJs, and a 500m² pool area set against the Montes de Málaga backdrop.
Seasonal only. Isla Pool Club is not open year-round. It operates during the summer season. It reopened on 6 June 2026. If you're visiting outside of summer, check their website before booking as it may be closed.
Best for: Groups, birthdays, hen parties, or anyone wanting a proper pool day with music and cocktails.

What to Expect
The vibe sits somewhere between relaxed beach club and upscale pool party. During the day, expect chilled house music from the DJ booth. As sunset approaches, the energy picks up.
Sunrise at Gibralfaro Castle
Watch the sun rise over Malaga from the highest point in the city. The views stretch from the bullring to the port and beyond.
“The castle opens at 9am, but staying at the Parador gives you access to the terrace at dawn - before anyone else arrives.”
