Located at the end of Barceloneta’s beach at the foot of the W Hotel (or Hotel Vela as it’s known locally) there is simply no better view of the Mediterranean in the city than this vast open air expanse of timber decking. Organised around a substantial swimming pool equipped with terrace furniture and canopies the terrace is an extension of the hotel lobby. From sunset onwards on Sunday evenings during the summer months an international line-up of Djs will convert this into Barcelona’s most spectacular outdoor venues, see their web for further details; en www.w-barcelona.es/calendar, nights with the breeze coming in from sea, salt in the air and smell of the sea.
