Stay out of the water or you’ll get a digestion attack! One of the quintessential maternal phrases is the symbol of a childhood where eating and bathing went hand in hand in summer. In adulthood the custom is often lost, and finding oneself freshly eaten in front of the water is no longer so common.
Fortunately, has a good handful of restaurants with swimming pool in Barcelona allow us to recover the beautiful custom of filling our bellies and refreshing ourselves before and after. Seeing a table next to a sun lounger is a sign of happiness, and although it may seem that in the city there is no place for water, we show you in this list that this is not so, and that the best thing to do is to prepare your swimsuit (and your fork)
Purobeach, at the Hilton Diagonal Mar (Barcelona)
We may never have the opportunity to stay at one of the luxurious Hilton hotels, but we may be able to enjoy lunch or dinner at one of their restaurants .
The Purobeach in a restaurant located on the second floor of the Hilton Hotel Diagonal Mar. It is a space inspired by Miami, Marrakech and Melbourne and has an area of 2,800 square meters next to a swimming pool. Here you can have a cocktail or a glass of wine with your feet in the water, as if you were Sharpay Evans herself. And the magazine “Conde Nast Travel”, “Conde Nast Travel” magazine
Tres Alzines (La Roca del Vallés)
We have already told you about La Roca Village, and you probably already know this great outlet on the outskirts of Barcelona . What you may not know, is that its interior also houses a restaurant with pool and embers that will turn your afternoon at La Roca in a round (and cool) plan.
The menu has a very high level, with many grilled meat dishes josper’s, but also specialties of cod or rice. To eat them you can sit on the terrace, where there is also a swimming pool where you can swim while waiting for your dishes to arrive.

Key Montjuic
Bathing in full Montjuic after a calçotada may sound like an unlikely plan in Barcelona, but it exists. Just go to the Club Natació Montjuic, where the Key Montjuic restaurant is located with its 29 euros menu with traditional cuisine, with monkfish trunk, calçots in tempura or cargols rostits.
If you also want to accompany your meal with a swim in the pool, you will have to pay an extra (15 euros for adults, 11 euros for children) to access the swimming pool of the club, a few meters from the restaurant and, in this way, happiness will be complete.

Taste of Picornell
We continue to Montjuïc, where we get Olympic to enter to picornell Swimming Pools the old swimming pools of the 92 Olympic Games. Here they have what you expect from a pool restaurant, popular food, popular prices and a whole day ahead to enjoy the water.
Sandwiches, daily menus at 9,20 or 7,20 and a paella menu for 15 euros. With that, plus the ticket to the pool complex if you are not a member, you have enough to spend the day eating, as they say, with your feet in the water.

Half an hour’s drive is enough to get to a restaurant complex with swimming pools where you can have a great time on Sundays. In Martorell, the Aqqua restaurant is part of the municipal swimming pools of Martorell, with a terrace right in front of the water.
At lunch, again, daily and weekend menus with Catalan and Mediterranean cuisine to spend a great weekend eating and bathing.

Wet deck and Sun Deck (Barcelona)
Wet deck, and sunny deck. The two decks of the Wela Hotel give you the opportunity to take a dip and have a bite to eat while feeling, for a moment, like the wealthy tourists who overlook the city from this hotel built over the sea, and not, as usual, like the locals who look down on them from below.
Of course, you will have to pay for it. The ticket costs about 50 euros (food apart), which includes access, sun lounger, towel and a drink and, of course, great views over the Barcelona coastline.
📍Plaça de la Rosa dels Vents 1
Bar La Piscina (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat)
Bar master class and neighborhood pools. In the bar La Piscina the obviousness of the name already informs us that we are in that, in the bar of the municipal swimming pools of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. Homemade food, cold beer, and neighborhood neighbors and athletes enjoying not having to climb on a rooftop to enjoy delicious food next to the water.
