Two pool day passes in Málaga: Isla Pool Club from €10 in summer and the B-Heaven rooftop pool at €60 year-round. Prices, what's included, and how to book.
Málaga has two pool day pass options for non-hotel guests. Isla Pool Club is a seasonal pool club at La Hípica, 10 minutes out, with entry tickets from €10. B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga is open year-round in the city centre at €60.

How Much Is a Pool Day Pass in Málaga?
A pool day pass in Málaga starts at €10. Isla Pool Club is much the cheaper option: entry tickets run €10-20 depending on the event and how many drinks are included, and a sunbed with a towel is €15-25. B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga costs €60 per person year-round, but that single price covers a sunbed, towel and a two-course lunch.
Work out what you actually want. If you're after a lounger and a proper meal, the gap narrows. If you just want in the door, Isla is a fraction of the price.
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 a different party every day, with tickets from €10, open summers only. B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga is a year-round hotel rooftop pool with a €60 day pass, including lunch and a sunbed. Both are open to non-hotel guests, and both need booking ahead.
B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga

B-Heaven is the rooftop pool at Barceló Málaga, right next to María Zambrano train station. At €60 per person, it's the pricier of the two, but it's the only rooftop option and the only one open year-round.
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
- Drinks are not included
Booking: Advance booking is required through Barceló Experiences. The hotel doesn't sell day passes at reception. Cancellation is free up to a day before.
Good to Know
Sunbeds are limited, so book 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: €60 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 on a budget.
Ticket Prices & What You Get
Isla doesn't sell one flat day pass. It runs a different named party every day, and you buy a ticket for that specific event. Prices shift a little between events, so treat these as the going rate rather than a fixed menu.
Entry tickets
- Early Pass, entry with one drink before 4pm: €10
- All Day Pass + 1 drink, entry with a drink any time: €10-15
- All Day Pass + 2 drinks: €15-20
Sunbeds and day beds
- Hamaca (sunbed) or Puff (day bed), with towel and 1 drink: €15-20
- Same with 2 drinks: €25
- Oferta Hamaca, sunbed with a soft drink or beer and a main course: €14.90 when it runs
Reservados (private areas)
Reserved tables and beds for groups start at €120, rising to €150 on the bigger weekend events. This is what replaced the old VIP Balinese bed package.
A lounger isn't included with a plain entry ticket, so add it if you want somewhere to lie down. Food is ordered from the restaurant separately unless you've got the Oferta Hamaca.
Booking: Tickets are sold per event through the Isla events page. Loungers and the cheaper tiers sell out first, so book early for weekends. Doors run 13:00 to 23:00, later on some nights.
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.”
Parador de Malaga Gibralfaro - The only hotel with direct castle access. Wake up and walk straight onto the terrace for sunrise.
