Only YOU Málaga offers rooftop views of the Fair fireworks before the party continues in its own city-centre marquee

The 2026 Málaga Fair, officially taking place from 15 to 22 August, will also offer special experiences beyond the Cortijo de Torres fairground. In the heart of the city, Only YOU Hotel Málaga has unveiled a programme combining food, live music and privileged views of some of the fair’s most important moments.

The programme will begin on Friday, 14 August, with the traditional fireworks night that marks the start of the celebrations. The hotel will offer two different experiences on its upper terraces, giving guests the chance to watch the display from above.

Fireworks with panoramic views over Málaga

On the seventh floor, Sonora Sky & Bites will serve a special menu created by executive chef Pedro Hervás.

The menu includes dishes such as confit leeks with burrata stracciatella, romesco sauce and pine nut vinaigrette; fideuá with prawns, squid and crunchy vegetables; and slow-cooked beef served with potato parmentier.

Dinner will be accompanied by live music and views over the city as Málaga begins its fair celebrations.

For those looking for a livelier atmosphere, Lolita Skyview Pool & Lounge, the hotel rooftop, will combine signature cocktails, cocktail-style food and live flamenco.

Its main attraction will be its 360-degree panoramic views over Málaga, providing a privileged setting for watching the fireworks display.

Both experiences will run from 9 pm to 11.30 pm and require advance booking.

A fair marquee in the heart of the city

From 15 August, the celebrations will continue on the ground floor of the hotel.

Carmen restaurant will be transformed until 20 August into Carmen The One and Only, an urban fair marquee inspired by the traditional atmosphere of the Málaga Fair.

The concept will combine signature cuisine with live music and a festive atmosphere designed for enjoying the daytime fair in the city centre.

The musical programme will feature performers including Pilar Suárez, Carlos Moya and Lázaro Cruz, blending traditional flamenco with fusion sounds.

A different way to experience Málaga’s city-centre fair

The initiative complements the official city-centre fair, where public street activities are scheduled to finish at 6 pm each day. After that, most of the night-time activity traditionally moves to the Cortijo de Torres fairground.

Only YOU Málaga therefore offers an alternative for those who want to combine the atmosphere of the historic centre with food, music and a more exclusive setting, while also enjoying the opening fireworks from one of the city’s elevated viewpoints.
