Best Rooftop Sunset Bars in Malaga

There's no better way to end a day in Málaga than with a cocktail in hand and the sky turning gold behind the city skyline.

Our Favourites

Our top sunset bar in Malaga for sunset views is La Terraza Molina Lario, with cathedral views, creative cocktails and relaxed vibes.

360° views including the cathedral dome, port, mountains, and sea, AC Hotel Málaga Palacio - Àtico Bar.

If you're chasing sunset cocktails and infinity pool vibes, Lolita Skyview delivers.

La Terraza Molina Lario

Located on the 8th floor of Hotel Molina Lario, the Terrace offers an open-air panorama that stretches from the port and sea to the rooftops of the old town. During sunset, much of the seating is shaded thanks to a nearby building that blocks the direct sun, ideal if you're after cooler spots with a view.

Tip: There are three elevators, but only one goes directly to the 8th floor. If there's a queue, take one of the other lifts to the 7th floor and walk up one flight of stairs. It's a handy shortcut that could help you grab a table before the crowd.

AC Hotel Málaga Palacio - Àtico Bar

When it comes to sunset in Málaga, few places compete with the 15th-floor terrace at Ático Bar & Restaurant, located atop the AC Hotel Málaga Palacio. From this elevated spot, you'll watch the sun dip behind the mountains, casting a golden glow over the cathedral, harbour, and rooftops of the old town, all with a drink in hand. There is limited shaded seating, and it gets hot in the sun, so take a hat and sunscreen during the Summer.

Tip: There's almost always a queue at peak time. If you arrive and the line's already long, don't risk missing sunset, consider heading to one of the other rooftop bars we've featured nearby

Perched on the 8th floor of the Only YOU Hotel, the Terrace offers an open-air panorama that stretches from the port and sea to the rooftops of the old town. During sunset, much of the seating is shaded thanks to a nearby building that blocks the direct sun, ideal if you're after cooler spots with a view.

Tip: Each round typically comes with complimentary sweets and nuts in case you're hungry but not looking for a full meal.

Nusa Cocktail bar

Slightly hidden along the top of the promenade at Muelle Uno, NUSA Cocktail Bar offers a Boho setting with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Málaga's harbour, and the city's historic skyline. It's an ideal spot to unwind with expertly crafted cocktails while soaking in the coastal ambience.

Tip: While NUSA doesn't offer food service, its prime location within Muelle Uno means you're just steps away from a variety of dining options. Consider pairing your visit with a meal at a nearby restaurant to complete your evening.
