Sky and Sea Rooftop Bar in Torremolinos

Panoramic sea views, chilled cocktails by the infinity pool, and a laid-back, adults-only vibe above the Costa del Sol.

Sky and Sea crowns the top level of Melia Costa del Sol, offering a Mediterranean sun sanctuary with panoramic views directly above the Paseo Maritimo in Torremolinos.

This rooftop is open to non-hotel guests subject to availability, making it accessible for visitors looking to experience one of the coast's most polished poolside settings.

The atmosphere is spacious, breezy, and designed for unhurried daytime lounging.

Best For

  • Couples seeking romantic daytime luxury
  • Hotel guests wanting a chic sunbathing spot
  • Solo travellers who like peaceful views with a side of sangría

Not Ideal For

  • Families with kids
  • Party-goers (no nightlife or DJs)
  • Travellers on a strict budget

The Vibe

Sky and Sea is more than a rooftop bar; it's a full daytime escape.

Think oversized Bali beds, subtle palm accents, and wide-open sea views that blur the line between rooftop and shoreline. The design is clean and contemporary, with enough space to never feel crowded even on busy days.

Soft house music sets a chilled tone throughout the afternoon. The only real decision you'll face is spritz or sangria. This isn't a place for loud celebrations or late-night revelry. It's where you come to decompress, soak up sun, and watch the hours drift by.

The crowd tends toward couples and solo travellers seeking peace rather than parties. Staff are attentive without being intrusive, keeping glasses full and towels fresh.

The View & Seating

You're positioned directly above the Paseo Maritimo with an uninterrupted view of Torremolinos beach and the glittering coastline beyond. The Mediterranean stretches to the horizon, and on clear days the views seem endless.

  • Bali beds for couples and pairs
  • Cushioned loungers for sunbathers
  • High-top tables near the bar for shade seekers
  • Pool-edge seating for the best water views
  • No matter where you sit, the sea is always in sight

How to Make a Reservation

No reservations are needed for the bar and seating area. Walk-ins are welcome, but arriving early is wise for sunset or weekend seating, as the best spots fill up quickly.

Non-hotel guests can access the rooftop, but entry is subject to availability, especially during peak hours.

Morning at Pimentel Tower

This 15th-century watchtower is the symbol of Torremolinos and the origin of its name. The surrounding plaza comes alive in the morning with locals enjoying café con leche.

Visit early before the crowds and climb up for views of the coastline stretching to Málaga. The nearby Cuesta del Tajo steps lead down to the beach.

Where to Stay

Hotel MS Tropicana - Central location near the tower with rooftop pool views. Perfect base for exploring the old town.
