Raúl G.T

An essential element of summer nights are the rooftop terraces in Malaga. Here I leave you some of the best proposals to have a few drinks after work or to start the night.

Some of the terraces below are open all year round, so if you’re out of season you might want to take a look. You can see a map with all the rooftop terraces in  Malaga here.

Rooftop terraces in Malaga city

During the long summer months caressing the Costa del Sol, with long nights and warm sea breeze, life takes place in the street, where both locals and visitors enjoy their leisure time and have fun outdoors. An essential element of the nights in Malaga are the rooftop terraces. We give you some of the best proposals for a drink after work or to start the evening.

The streets of the towns are filled with tables and chairs and there are terraces everywhere and for everyone. In Malaga city we can find many of them in the old quarter near the Plaza de la Merced; who prefers to sip a cocktail enjoying the sea breeze can head for Pedregalejo.

But our proposals are “soaring”: all have in common fantastic views of the surrounding, being nearly all the “coolest” and most fashionable places of Malaga summer.

In addition to those in the city centre there are other rooftop terraces in Malaga with stunning views.

Let’s look at some examples in case you find yourself strolling through one of these places and feel like relaxing with some nice views:

Marbella rooftop terrace

Probably at the top of the chicest summer terraces in Marbella is the Sky Lounge in Pangea, one of the most glamorous clubs in Puerto Banus.
