Only YOU Hotel Malaga
Malaga | Spain
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perched at the start of elegant Calle Larios and moments from Malaga Port, Only YOU Hotel Malaga is a design-forward boutique bolthole made for stylish city breaks. Think rooftop pool with Mediterranean views, a destination restaurant above the skyline, and beautifully curated rooms that feel more like a private apartment than a hotel. Step outside and you’re straight into Malaga’s shopping streets, tapas bars and headline sights – the cathedral, Alcazaba and Picasso Museum are all an easy stroll away.
A shimmering rooftop pool framed by Malaga’s cathedral towers and the Mediterranean, a lobby that feels like a contemporary members’ club, and rooms dressed in rich textures and warm Andalusian light – Only YOU Hotel Malaga takes boutique city living up a notch. Everything is walkable, from Calle Larios boutiques to port-side chiringuitos, so you can sightsee, shop and swim in the same afternoon.
For couples and style-conscious city breakers wanting Spain’s Costa del Sol culture rather than a beach package, Only YOU Hotel Malaga delivers the sweet spot: rooftop-pool glamour, high-end gastronomy and doorstep access to the old town and port. It’s around 15–20 minutes from Malaga Airport by taxi or transfer. See more Spain holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
Dining at Only YOU Hotel Malaga is as much about atmosphere as it is about flavour. The star of the show is Lola, the à la carte rooftop restaurant where floor-to-ceiling glass and open-air terraces overlook the cathedral domes and port. Expect a creative mix of international, Spanish and local Malaga cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a well-considered wine list and a kids’ menu available.
On the ground floor, Carmen lobby bar is your go-to for speciality coffee, casual bites, aperitifs and late-night cocktails in a polished, living-room-style setting.
A smart-casual dress code may apply, and restaurant opening hours can vary by season. Reservations are recommended for dinner, and some menu items or special evenings may carry a supplement depending on your board basis. Information is based on previous seasons and can change, so always check the latest details on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
Head to the rooftop and you’ll find one of Malaga’s most photogenic spots: a sleek, elevated pool with sun loungers and chill-out vibes, backed by views across the old town, cathedral and harbour. It’s a sophisticated space for daytime dips, slow sunsets and pre-dinner drinks from the rooftop bar.
Although there’s no beach directly at the hotel, Malaga’s city sands are easy to reach. Playa de la Malagueta, with its laid-back chiringuitos and barbecued sardines, is around a 15–20-minute walk or a short taxi ride away, combining big-city culture with a toes-in-the-sand afternoon.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness at Only YOU Hotel Malaga centres on a smart, air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, a free-weights area and stretching zone, typically open from 08:00 to 21:00 for guests aged 16 and over.
Beyond the gym, the hotel focuses on thoughtful urban comforts rather than resort-style animation:
• Stylish lobby spaces designed for working, relaxing or people-watching
• 24-hour reception and concierge to help with restaurant reservations, museum tickets and local tips
• Luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures
• English-language newspapers (subject to availability)
Malaga itself becomes your playground – from rooftop sundowners and art galleries to food markets and flamenco bars, all a short walk from the front door.
