July to September are Estepona's best swimming months, and winter highs fall to 17.7°C in January. Each of the 3 hotels we list puts its pool up high, but none publishes whether non-guests can swim, so assume you need a room.
Our first pick is Hotel Estepona Plaza: the hotel's website has a virtual tour of the terrace and pool, so you can see it before you book, and breakfast is included in every room. If you want a pool to yourself, Senator Banús puts private pools on 200 m2 rooftop terraces in some room types, adults only.

Why it's here. Pick this for privacy rather than a shared deck. Some room types have a 200 m2 rooftop terrace with their own pool, and the hotel lists adults only. That makes it a room choice, not a pool you can swim in on a visit.
The pools are private, built into the rooftop terraces (azoteas) of certain room types on the N-340 at Urb. Benamara. Sunloungers sit on each terrace, and the hotel mentions panoramic views of the pool at breakfast. The floor isn't published, and only some rooms have one.
Best forAdult couples who want a private plunge pool on their own roof terrace.
Skip it ifYou're traveling with children or want a shared pool open to visitors who have no room.

Winter is cooler, with average highs of 20.5°C in November, 18.3°C in December and 17.7°C in January. None of the three hotels publishes heating for its pool, so ask before you plan a winter swim. No events that fill hotels are listed for the city.
Average daily highs: November 21°C (69°F), December 18°C (65°F), January 18°C (64°F). The warmest stretch for swimming is Jul–Sep.
