Summer decides the swim in Salou: June to August are the best three months, and winter highs fall to 14.1°C in January. Each of the 10 hotels we list has a rooftop or top-floor pool, but none sells day passes. Two are confirmed guests-only, and eight leave their access rules unpublished.
Our first pick is Hotel Olympus Palace, where the Summit terrace on the top floor has a glass pool and jacuzzi and runs 10:00 to 00:00 (seasonal). The easier pick for off-season trips is Num Hotel, whose rooftop pool is covered and heated through winter.

Why it's here. This is a thin entry: the hotel publishes little about its pool access, floor or heating. Consider it if a pool bar serving until 23:00 and rentable towels matter more than rooftop specifics.

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not
Several hotels people expect to find here have pools, but no source places any of them on a roof or a top-floor terrace.
Hotel Best Cap Salou. Hotel's own pages describe an outdoor pool facing the sea, an indoor heated pool and a splash pool, but never place any pool on the roof or top-floor terrace. Google Maps lists a swimming pool with no location detail.
Ohtels Vila Romana. The hotel's own site says its pool is indoor ("piscina interior"). No source places a pool on the roof or a top-floor terrace.
Salou Park Resort I. The hotel's own site says it has two pools and a heated pool in its Spa & Wellness area, but no source places any pool on the roof or a top-floor terrace. The Google Maps listing only says "Resort hotel" and the terrace is a cafeteria and snack bar. Status is therefore not-rooftop.
PortAventura Hotel Caribe. The hotel's own site describes white sand pools surrounded by tropical gardens. No source places a pool on the roof or a top-floor terrace.
H10 Mediterranean Village. The hotel's own site describes a heated indoor pool and children's pools, but never places a pool on the roof or an open top-floor terrace. Only the Google Maps listing (name and address) and undated guest comments were provided; the comments have no URL, so they are not used.
California Garden. The hotel's own site describes two outdoor pools but never places either on a roof or top floor; no source mentions a rooftop pool. The Google Maps listing gives only the address. The jump2spain price snippet is on another hotel's page and is not attributed to this hotel, so it was not used.
H10 Salou Princess. The hotel's site describes a large outdoor pool area with sun loungers and a jacuzzi, but no source says the pool is on the roof or a top-floor terrace. Pools on premises: yes. Family or adults only: both, with an adults-only jacuzzi and a children's pool. Children's programme: yes (Daisy Club, ages 4 to 12). No daycare service is mentioned.
Ponient Pirámide Salou by PortAventura World. The hotel's own pages describe outdoor pools surrounded by vegetation, with no roof or top-floor placement. The "rooftop (+18)" wording appears in a multi-hotel card on the homepage, not attributed to this property, so it is excluded. The jump2spain page is for Ponient Dorada Palace, a different hotel, so its price is excluded.
Salou rooftop pools: questions people ask
Which hotels in Salou let non-guests swim in the rooftop pool?
None on our list sells day passes. Hotel Olympus Palace and Hotel Golden Port Salou are confirmed guests-only, and the remaining eight leave access unpublished, so treat them as stay-to-swim.
Are any Salou rooftop pools heated or open in winter?
Yes, one: Num Hotel's rooftop pool is covered and heated through winter. January highs average 14.1°C, so the cover and heating matter. Golden Port has an indoor heated pool, separate from its rooftop.
Which Salou hotel has the highest rooftop pool?
Only H10 Vintage Salou publishes a pool floor on our list: the 6th. H10 Salauris Palace places its Sky Bar terrace beside the rooftop pool on the 6th floor too. The others don't publish a floor.
Which Salou rooftop pools are adults-only?
Hotel Las Vegas, H10 Salauris Palace (rooftop only), H10 Delfín and Hotel Cala Font are adults-only. H10 Vintage Salou recommends its roof terrace for adults over 16.
How can I swim in a Salou rooftop pool for the least money?
No price is published for any rooftop swim on our list, and none sells day passes. Booking a room is the way in. Hotel Cala Font adds a supplement booked at reception, and it doesn't publish the amount.
Which PortAventura hotel has the best rooftop pool?
None of them. PortAventura Hotel Caribe describes white sand pools in tropical gardens, and no source places a pool on its roof. Hotels on our list are outside the PortAventura resort.
