Rooftop Pools in Malaga That Offer a Day Pass

Málaga rooftop pools open to non-guests! Get a day pass and enjoy skyline views, refreshing dips, and laid-back luxury.

Málaga gets hot — often into the mid-30s in summer. If you're not staying somewhere with a pool, that doesn't mean you're stuck.

B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga lets you use their rooftop pool for the day without booking a room. It's the only hotel rooftop in the city currently offering a day pass to non-guests.

If you want a pool day that's not on a hotel rooftop, try Isla Pool Club — a purpose-built pool club 10 minutes from the city centre.

B-Heaven Rooftop Pool Day Pass at Barceló Málaga

B-Heaven Rooftop Pool Day Pass

B-Heaven at Barceló Málaga offers a more affordable rooftop pool option near María Zambrano train station.

Conveniently located next to the station, this urban rooftop offers a chic, relaxed escape high above the city.

What’s Included in the Day Pass?

From €45 per person, the B-Heaven day pass includes:

  • Full access to the rooftop pool and sun loungers
  • Towel service
  • A two-course lunch inspired by local Andalusian flavors
  • A calm, uncrowded environment to unwind in the sun
  • 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
  • 18+ only
  • Advance reservation is required

Vibe & Atmosphere

This isn’t a party rooftop, B-Heaven leans more urban zen than Ibiza. Think city views, sleek design, and low-key lounging with a cocktail or two. It’s ideal for couples, solo travellers, or digital nomads taking a day off.

Location & Access

Located at the Barceló Málaga, the rooftop is easily accessible via public transport, and even makes a perfect pre-flight treat thanks to its proximity to the train line direct to the airport.

Good to Know

  • Sun beds are limited, arrive early to get a good spot
  • There’s no loud music or DJ, this is a relaxing rooftop, not a beach club
  • The pool isn’t large, but it’s a stylish spot to cool off in the heat

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.

Where to Stay

Parador de Malaga Gibralfaro - The only hotel with direct castle access. Wake up and walk straight onto the terrace for sunrise.
