Choose ARIMA for a rooftop pool and a spa in one stay. The pool is for guests only and open through summer. The Foresta Wellness spa also takes outside clients aged 18 and over.
The pool
An outdoor summer pool on the rooftop, with terraces overlooking Miramón Forest. It is reserved for hotel guests and open daily through the summer season. The hotel doesn't publish the floor or exact dates.
Our take
ARIMA is the only guests-only hotel on our list with a spa that sells entry to outsiders. If you can't book a room, the spa is your way in. Hydrotherapy pools, infrared saunas and an ice plunge are listed, and the spa pools are heated.
The catch is that the spa is not the rooftop pool. Non-guests get the spa, not the roof. Season dates and hours for the roof pool aren't published, unlike Leonardo, so check before you travel.
Good to know
- Spa open to outside clients aged 18 and over
- Spa has heated pools, saunas and an ice plunge
- Passivhaus-certified, described as the city's greenest lodging
The catches
- Roof pool reserved for staying guests
- Season dates and hours aren't published
Best forGuests who want a forest-facing summer pool and a spa with heated pools.
Skip it ifYou want to swim on the roof without staying overnight.
Getting in
You need a room for the roof: ARIMA's pool is reserved for hotel guests, and no day pass is listed for it.
The Foresta Wellness spa takes external clients aged 18 and over. It has heated pools and saunas, but it is a separate area from the roof.
Tips
- Visit in summer, when the rooftop pool is open daily.
- Book the spa as an outside client if you can't get a room, and bring ID to show you're 18 or over.
Before you go. Ask the hotel for the rooftop pool's season dates and hours, since neither is published.
