A little insider tip: I live in Spain and have clocked in some serious hours roaming the streets of Barcelona. And yes, I’ve dipped my toes in more than a few of these hotel pools.

FAQs

What is the best Barcelona hotel with a pool near the beach?

The best Barcelona hotel with a pool near the beach is, in my opinion, the W Barcelona Hotel. As Barcelona’s most famous beachfront hotel with its iconic sail, the infinity pool is as good as it gets, not to mention the amazing views you’ll see from there.

While the W Barcelona is close to unbeatable, for an adults only experience, the Occidental Atenea Mar is also a great choice, located just 492 feet (1610 feet) from Barcelona’s Nova Mar Bella Beach. Imagine a quick dip in the sea and then straight to your hotel pool — talk about living the dream. 

This adults-only hotel boasts a terrace with sea views and a seasonal infinity pool complete with hydromassage beds and seats. 

What is the best Barcelona hotel with an outdoor pool?

The Catalonia Ramblas is my choice for the best Barcelona hotel with an outdoor pool, located just a quick 3-minute walk from the iconic Las Ramblas. The hotel’s south-facing terrace is just the cherry on top, letting you soak up all the Spanish sun you can handle. 

And if you’re traveling with someone special, some rooms at the Catalonia Ramblas even come with a private pool! Kick back, order a cocktail, and enjoy the chill-out vibes.

What is the best Barcelona hotel with an indoor pool?

While Barcelona is all about the sun, sometimes you just want the tranquility of an indoor pool. And the best Barcelona hotel with an indoor pool is, for me, the Catalonia Ramblas. Alongside its fab outdoor pool, the hotel offers a spa complete with a steam bath, hot tub, and — you guessed it — a calm indoor pool. 

So, after you’ve roamed around the city, you can wind down and pamper yourself at the Catalonia Ramblas. And hey, who said you can’t do both outdoor and indoor on the same day?

What is the best Barcelona hotel with a rooftop pool?

The Hotel Barcelona Cathedral is my pick for the best Barcelona hotel with a rooftop pool. It’s super close to the iconic Barcelona Cathedral in the Gothic Quarter with the city views from the rooftop pool being practically unbeatable.

And if you’re in the mood to explore, you’re in luck. With a 5-minute walk from the Hotel Barcelona Cathedral, you’re amidst restaurants, tapas bars, and the buzz of El Born district. 

A lunchtime tapas date followed by an afternoon watching the sunset over Barcelona from the rooftop pool – sounds pretty good to me, to be honest.
