Editor's note
The Hotel Sallés Málaga Centro boasts a stunning rooftop pool offering panoramic views of the city's iconic landmarks. While the pool itself appears to be a refreshing spot to cool off, especially during warmer months, its size might be a consideration for some guests. The vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by the availability of poolside drinks and a chill-out zone, making it a prime location for relaxation and enjoying the Málaga skyline.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
What guests say about the pool
In their own words
Paid for hotel with pool but so small u unfortunately never got chance to sit round it. The rooftop bar was lovely.
We also spent some time on the rooftop terrace, which was a fun surprise. Great views and a relaxed vibe, and the little pool is a nice bonus if the weather’s warm.
We had the perfect room on the 7th Floor overlooking the roof top bar and pool area. It was ideal and very quiet.

Why it's on the list
Located on the hotel rooftop, this outdoor pool offers extensive views of the Málaga skyline, including Gibralfaro, Alcazaba, and the Cathedral. It serves as a refreshing spot with the city at your feet, complemented by a chill-out zone. Double hammocks are available for booking in the best view area.
Why it's not higher
Guest reviews indicate the pool is small, which may limit the opportunity for all guests to use it or find a seat. The hotel website states the pool is not open year-round.
