The Vibe
Lolita Skyview is stylish but easygoing. Soft music plays in the background while sea breezes drift across the terrace and skyline views stretch in every direction. The atmosphere is refined without being stuffy, attracting couples, design lovers, and anyone looking for a peaceful rooftop with a curated vibe.
The infinity pool is the centrepiece, giving the space that resort feeling that none of the other rooftops in Málaga can match. Even if pool access is reserved for hotel guests, the views of the water against the city backdrop add to the ambience for everyone.
By sunset, Lolita comes into its own. The light softens over the cathedral, the sea turns golden, and the terrace fills with people settling in for the evening. It is the kind of place where you plan for one drink and end up staying for three.
