Malaga, Malaga City, Spain

There is no full restaurant on-site, keeping the focus firmly on Malaga’s excellent dining scene steps from the door. Guests typically start the day with a generous buffet-style breakfast (when booked on B&B), served in a bright, contemporary space with pastries, fruit, cold cuts and hot dishes.

The real star is the rooftop bar, which serves cocktails, wines and soft drinks beside the plunge pool with views across the harbour and historic skyline – a perfect sunset spot before you head out to tapas bars and restaurants in the old town. Opening times and menus may vary by season; check locally for the latest details.

On the rooftop you’ll find a compact outdoor plunge pool framed by loungers and greenery – ideal for cooling off between sightseeing and soaking up port and city views. Facilities and opening hours can vary by season and weather, so always check onsite.

For a swim in the sea, follow the waterfront promenade to the nearest city beaches around Playa de la Malagueta, around 15–20 minutes’ walk, where you’ll find sunbeds, chiringuito beach bars and Malaga’s famous barbecued sardines.
