Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There is no swimming pool at Vincci Larios Diez Malaga – this is very much a city-boutique hotel. Instead, the focus is on its rooftop terrace, where comfy seating and far-reaching views more than compensate.
For a dip, head to Malaga’s urban beaches, such as Playa de la Malagueta, where you can rent loungers and parasols from local beach clubs and tuck into classic espetos (barbecued sardines) right on the sand.

There’s no on-site spa or gym, but Malaga itself becomes your playground: stroll the waterfront, hike up to Gibralfaro for sunrise views, or rent bikes along the promenade.
