Sky Bar at Hotel El Puerto

🌇 Rooftop

A pool, a cocktail and Fuengirola spread out below you.

Why go?

This is less about hunting down the greatest cocktail of your life and more about finding a very good excuse to sit above Fuengirola for a few hours. The rooftop pool, Mediterranean views and the coastline stretching out below make this an easy place to lose track of time. Add a drink and sunset and suddenly your afternoon has plans.

What to order

Go for one of their fruit-based cocktails. They are made with natural fruit, which feels considerably more appropriate up here than ordering something sensible. If you're hungry, there are also easy rooftop options like patatas bravas, nachos, pizzas and salads.

Good to know

The pool and sunbeds are not necessarily available to everyone, so check the current access rules before planning your entire afternoon around a swim. The bar itself is the main attraction anyway. The view is doing most of the heavy lifting.

Local fact

Hotel El Puerto dates back to 1974, and the Sky Bar sits at the top of Torre Sancho, one of the hotel's two towers. The tower has 11 floors before you even get to the rooftop pool. So yes, you've earned that cocktail.

Open
