4 Best Rooftop Pools in Marbella

Marbella's best rooftop pools let you swim high above the coast, with the Mediterranean on one side and the Sierra Blanca mountains on the other.

I've been up to all four. One is a sea-view infinity pool you can book a day pass for. Two are quiet guest-only decks in the centre of town. The last pairs an infinity edge with Michelin-starred dining.

Below I cover each pool's access, prices, views, and atmosphere, so you can pick the right rooftop before you book a room.

Which Marbella Rooftop Pools Are Open to Non-Guests?

Only one of Marbella's rooftop pools sells access to non-guests: Escondido at the Kimpton Los Monteros runs a small number of day passes from around €100, and they sell out fast in summer so book ahead. The other three rooftops here reserve their pools for people staying in the hotel.

The 360 Blue Sky Bar, Edge at El Fuerte, and Senator all reserve their pools for people staying at the hotel. The 360 terrace and the Edge restaurant open to the public later in the day, but the pools stay locked to guests.

So if you want a rooftop pool you can book without a room, Escondido is the one to reserve ahead. For ground-level pools with day passes, see our Marbella pool day pass guide.

Does Marbella Have Infinity Pools with Sea Views?

Yes. Two of Marbella's rooftop pools have a true infinity edge facing the Mediterranean: Escondido at the Kimpton Los Monteros and the Edge by Paco Pérez at El Fuerte, which runs the pool as guests-only but opens its restaurant and bar to everyone May through October.

Escondido is the one to pick if you want to swim in an infinity pool without staying over, thanks to its limited day passes. The Edge has the sharper design and the Michelin kitchen, but its pool is hotel-guests-only.

Both line the water up with the horizon, so the pool seems to spill into the sea. For the best light, come in the hour before sunset.

Escondido

The Escondido Rooftop Pool crowns the Kimpton Los Monteros and is the rare Marbella rooftop pool you don't have to be a hotel guest to swim in. It's a sea-facing infinity pool with loungers spaced wide, contemporary Mexican plates carried to the water's edge, and a small run of day passes from around €100. Come late afternoon and the infinity edge catches the golden light.

360 Blue Sky Bar

The 360 Blue Sky Bar pool sits on a 400m² terrace two minutes from the Old Town, wrapped around a living green wall. The pool is a compact dip rather than a swim, and the roughly 20 loungers vanish soon after the 11am setup, so come early. By day it's a calm guests-only deck; from 4pm the terrace opens to the public and the bar takes over with DJs.

Edge at El Fuerte

The Edge by Paco Pérez tops the renovated El Fuerte Marbella with the sleekest infinity pool in town, its edge lined up dead-straight with the Mediterranean. Swimming is for hotel guests only, but the rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar are open to everyone from 7pm, May through October. The kitchen is run by Michelin-starred chef Paco Pérez, so plan it around dinner.

Senator Rooftop

The Senator Marbella Spa Hotel pool is the quiet, practical one: a sun deck with a whirlpool Jacuzzi, white cabanas, and the Sierra Blanca rising behind the rooftops. There's no infinity edge and no DJ, and that's the point. It's guests-only, family-friendly, and backed by a full spa downstairs.

Which Marbella Rooftop Pool Is Right for You?

Pick Escondido for a sea-view infinity swim you can book as a non-guest. Choose the Edge if you're staying over and want infinity-pool design with a Michelin dinner. The 360 Blue Sky Bar suits a central base where a midday dip rolls into sunset drinks, and the Senator is the easy, family-friendly option.

Whichever you book, reserve ahead in summer, the loungers go fast.
