We tried every rooftop bar in Torremolinos. Some stunned, others flopped. Here's our honest ranking. Cocktails, views, vibes and all.
Finding these rooftops was not an easy task. I'm based in Malaga, which isn't far from Torremolinos, but if you miss a rooftop, you have to go back. Sigh.
The truth is, the town's rooftop scene is more limited than Malaga's. But what Torremolinos lacks in numbers, it(sometimes) makes up for in views. There are even some unique finds, like a nudist rooftop. I even found a rooftop that doubles as a nightclub and a sports bar!
These are the best rooftops in Torremolinos, in my opinion.
P.S. Bars may not be everyone's thing, so you might prefer these rooftop restaurants in Torremolinos instead!
The Best Rooftop Bars in Torremolinos
Sky and Sea Rooftop
The standout rooftop in Torremolinos, Sky and Sea, lives up to its name with panoramic views over Playa Bajondillo and the wide blue sweep of the Mediterranean. Set atop the beachfront Hotel Bajondillo, it's the perfect blend of calm atmosphere and coastal drama, ideal for golden-hour cocktails or a laid-back drink with unbeatable views of the Costa del Sol.
Space Monkey
Space Monkey adds playful character to the local rooftop scene, tucked just off Calle San Miguel in the heart of Torremolinos. It trades sea views for a more urban feel, but more than makes up for it with personality, live DJ sets, and a rotating menu of local craft beers. It's one of the few rooftops that feels truly independent — and refreshingly unpolished in the best way.

Clock Tower Rooftop
This rooftop near the Plaza San Miguel gets its charm from its proximity to Torremolinos' iconic clock tower. A classic Andalusian-style terrace, it overlooks the town centre with a mellow, timeless feel. If you're after old-town atmosphere and a quieter sunset moment, Clock Tower delivers a welcome pause from the buzz below.
BlueSide Skybar (Gran Cervantes)
Sitting high atop the Gran Hotel Cervantes by BlueSea, the BlueSide Skybar offers one of the most expansive views in Torremolinos. From the rooftop, you can trace the coast toward Málaga and take in the Sierra de Mijas hills behind. It's a sleek, serene setting best suited for quiet drinks with a wide-angle backdrop.
Barracuda Rooftop
Located above Hotel La Barracuda on the promenade near La Carihuela, this rooftop bar is all about the view. It serves up a prime look at the Mediterranean and is especially popular with beachgoers looking to transition from sunlounger to spritz. It's one of the few rooftops this close to the sand, easy to find and worth the climb.
Gastrobar Sireno
More than just a rooftop, Gastrobar Sireno offers a culinary-led experience with a small terrace space above its restaurant on Calle Casablanca. What it lacks in elevation, it makes up for in quality: expect thoughtful tapas, regional wines, and a mellow vibe that appeals to foodies looking to dine with a view.

Hotel Jazmines Rooftop
Hotel Los Jazmines offers a classic seaside rooftop overlooking Playa del Bajondillo. The space feels traditional in the best way, with breezy palms and uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean. It's a solid stop for a pre-dinner drink or a quiet coffee with a sunrise or sunset backdrop.
Hotel Ritual
The rooftop at Hotel Ritual Torremolinos brings energy and inclusivity, with a panoramic pool deck that's as social as it is scenic. Known for its LGBTQ+ friendly vibe, it's a popular spot for weekend gatherings, seasonal DJ sets, and catching sunsets over the beach with a cocktail in hand. Oh, and you tan here in the nude if you're a guest at the pool!
What to Expect from Rooftop Bars in Torremolinos
Don't come expecting velvet ropes and skyline cocktails. Most rooftop bars here are perched atop hotels and lean casual. You'll get plastic menus, straightforward drinks, and in some cases, genuinely great sea views.
If you're here for the vibe more than the vermouth, you'll find some gems, but you'll need to know where to look.
Conclusion
Out of ten of these rooftops in Torremolinos, we'd go back to maybe three.
Sky and Sea is the standout. Gorgeous views, good drinks, and the kind of place that feels worth dressing up a little for. Space Monkey wins for weird charm. And Clock Tower earns a nod for doing something different.
The rest? Use your judgment. Or better yet, bookmark this and pretend you already knew.
