Editor's note
The Petit Palace Plaza Málaga features a rooftop pool and a sun terrace with loungers, offering a space to relax after exploring the city. While the pool is described as small, it provides a valuable amenity in a central location. There is no mention of poolside service or a bar, suggesting it's primarily for relaxation and a quick dip rather than a full poolside experience.
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.

Why it's on the list
This hotel features a small rooftop pool complemented by a jacuzzi, providing a dedicated space for relaxation and sunbathing. The rooftop setting offers views of the outside, and the pool is open year-round, although swimming is recommended when weather permits. It is suitable for a refreshing dip after exploring the city rather than serious swimming.
Why it's not higher
The pool is described as small, and its depth of one metre means it is not suitable for diving. There is no information regarding heating, which could limit comfortable use outside of warm weather, despite being open all year.
