Raising the Bar: Nine of Spain’s Must-Visit Rooftop Establishments
In Spain, rooftops aren’t mere afterthoughts – they’re cultural institutions where architecture, hospitality, and panoramic vistas collide. As urban oases multiplying across the country, these elevated escapes fuse exceptional mixology with Instagram-worthy backdrops, cementing their status as year-round social anchors. We’ve curated nine standouts where the views compete only with the quality in your glass.
At the heart of Barcelona’s social life is outdoor terrace and panoramic oasis, THE ROOF.
Barcelona – THE ROOF
A Mediterranean terrace with knockout views over El Born and the Santa Maria del Mar cathedral, THE ROOF sets the benchmark. Expect signature cocktails from some of Barcelona’s best bartenders, enjoyed by an urban pool. Even if alcohol isn’t your thing, you can sip on natural juices, kombucha, or mocktails. Rain or shine, it stays open all year thanks to retractable glass walls.
BOGA’s high-rise terrace offers an unforgettable atmosphere to soak in the San Juan Beach air.
Alicante – BOGA Sky Bar
Near San Juan Beach lies a sophisticated bar atop Hotel Port Alicante City & Beach. This rooftop comes alive after sunset. BOGA blends a laid-back seaside vibe with fusion dishes inspired by Japan, Morocco, the US, and Greece. Paired with ‘traveling mixology’ cocktails influenced by global destinations, any drink option here has the potential to seduce you.
