Is the H10 Croma rooftop pool open to the public?

No. The pool is reserved exclusively for hotel guests, and H10 Croma sells no day passes at any price. The rooftop bar on the same 9th-floor terrace stays open to everyone, so you can still get the same skyline views over a drink without booking a room. For pools that do sell day passes, see our guide to Málaga's pool day passes.

Pool Hours

The rooftop pool opens daily from around 10:00 to 20:00, with hours shifting slightly by season. The bar on the same rooftop stays open later, until midnight most nights and 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, so you can keep your sundowner going after the pool closes.

Best Times to Visit

  • Morning (10:00-12:00): Quietest time with plenty of lounger availability
  • Late afternoon (17:00-19:00): Perfect for golden hour views and cooler temperatures
  • Midday (12:00-16:00): Sunniest but can get warm; ideal for serious sun-seekers
