Raise a glass in style at Marbella's best rooftops, where ocean views meet great music and the city's chicest crowd.
Finding the perfect rooftop in Marbella isn't easy; the city has more than its fair share of stylish spots. Just when you think you've tried them all, another terrace opens with incredible views and a fresh cocktail menu.
So far, we've found 16 rooftop bars and restaurants here, and each one brings something unique: sunset views over the Mediterranean, creative cocktails, or a lively DJ set under the stars.
These are the best rooftop bars in Marbella, at least in my opinion!
