Editor's note
The Barceló Málaga boasts a lovely rooftop pool that serves as a refreshing oasis, especially for cooling off during warmer weather. While not exceptionally large, its elevated position offers a pleasant atmosphere, complemented by convenient poolside bar service for drinks and snacks. It is a definite highlight for relaxation and enjoying the hotel's amenities, though guests should note it is not heated.

In their own words
The swimming pool and bar on the roof is called B-Heaven and it really is heavenly.
Bit of a shame the rooftop bar and pool was a bit dead, but I kind of get that as we visited in September.
Intimate rooftop plunge pool, city skyline views, and a chic, laid-back vibe + the only rooftop pool day pass in Malaga
