Warm weather lasts long in Las Palmas: July to September is the best stretch, and average highs still reach 24.3°C in November and 21.1°C in January. Six hotels here have rooftop pools, and none of them sells day passes. Two are guests only, and the other four don't publish who can swim.
Our first pick is Hotel LIVVO Lumm, whose SkyPool is heated and open daily 09:00 to 16:00, though only to guests. For a pool and a drink on the same roof, URBANSEA Bex has its small pool beside the IBEX Rooftop Bar, but the hotel doesn't publish its access policy, so check with it first.

Winter stays are milder than you might expect, with average highs of 24.3°C in November, 22.3°C in December and 21.1°C in January. Book Hotel LIVVO Lumm or Cordial La Peregrina for those months, since they are the two heated pools on our list.

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not
Three hotels people expect to find here are left off the ranking because none of them has a rooftop pool.
Boutique Hotel Cordial Galdós Jardín. The hotel's own site places the pool in a garden ("jardín con piscina"), not on the roof or a top-floor terrace. The Google Maps listing does not mention a pool.
Occidental Las Palmas. Both hotel pages describe a rooftop solarium and sky bar with 360º views, but neither mentions a swimming pool. The main page also says the hotel is closed for season or renovations.
Hotel Silken Saaj Las Palmas. The hotel's own site describes a rooftop TAJ terrace with cocktails, dinners and bay views, but no source mentions a swimming pool at this hotel. The Antequera pool mention belongs to a different Silken hotel.
Las Palmas rooftop pools: questions people ask
Can you swim in a Las Palmas rooftop pool without staying at the hotel?
No hotel on our list sells day passes. Hotel LIVVO Lumm is guests only, and Cordial La Peregrina is open to guests and pre-arranged events only. The other four (URBANSEA Bex, La Colonial Suites, Hotel Puerto de la Luz and AC Hotel Gran Canaria) don't publish their access policy, so contact the hotel before you head up.
Are any rooftop pools in Las Palmas heated or open in winter?
Yes, two. The SkyPool at Hotel LIVVO Lumm is heated and open daily 09:00 to 16:00. The rooftop pool at Cordial La Peregrina is heated in winter. URBANSEA Bex is unheated, so it suits the warm months.
Which rooftop pool in Las Palmas is the highest?
We can't say. None of the six hotels publishes the floor its pool is on, so no pool on our list can be called the highest.
Which hotel has the best swimming pool in Las Palmas?
Hotel LIVVO Lumm is our first pick: a heated rooftop SkyPool with bay and port views, open daily 09:00 to 16:00 to guests. For a winter stay with the Santa Ana Cathedral in view, we'd book Cordial La Peregrina.
What month is best for a rooftop swim in Las Palmas?
July to September is the best three months. Average highs are 24.3°C in November, 22.3°C in December and 21.1°C in January, which is why the two heated pools are the safer winter bets.
Which rooftop pool has a bar next to it?
URBANSEA Bex has its small pool right beside the IBEX Rooftop Bar. Hotel Puerto de la Luz also has a rooftop pool and bar, facing the harbor.
