The pool
This 5-star hotel in Navpada, Vile Parle East, has its pool on the roof beside a restaurant and a bar. It looks straight over the airport runway. No floor or pool access rules are published.
Our take
Most pools on our list say little about the roof around them. This one has a South Indian kitchen, a grill restaurant and a bar up there with the pool, so the deck works for a meal or a drink as well as a swim. The Taverna bar is open to visitors, which is the easiest way onto this roof if you aren't staying.
Access is the weak spot. Non-guest use and opening hours are both unpublished. The bar is the safer plan, so call the hotel about the pool before you build a day around it.
