Your Awesome Afternoon: VIP Sunbed Reservations

Reserve Your Spot at the Polynesian Pool

An afternoon at El Oceano's Polynesian Pool is one of the finest ways to spend a day on the Costa del Sol — and our VIP sunbed packages make it even better. Available to hotel guests and non-residents alike, a VIP sunbed gives you a premium position at one of the coast's most beautiful heated pools, with everything you need for a perfect afternoon taken care of from the moment you arrive.

Each VIP sunbed includes luxury towels, full access to the Polynesian Pool, and dedicated personal waiter service throughout the afternoon. The swim-up bar is on hand for cocktails, champagne, cold drinks, and light bites. From Thursday through Sunday, live music and DJ entertainment add an extra dimension to proceedings — lively and fun, but always pitched at a level that lets you relax and enjoy the day.

VIP sunbeds are available from midday to 7pm, Monday to Sunday. Pricing is €80 per sunbed Monday to Thursday, and €100 per sunbed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The pool is recommended for guests aged 14 and over.

To book using the reservation system, please select 11am in the time dropdown.

A Premium Afternoon by the Pool on the Costa del Sol

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to spend an afternoon somewhere that gets almost everything exactly right — the setting, the service, the music, the drinks, and the company — then a VIP sunbed afternoon at El Oceano's Polynesian Pool might be the answer you've been looking for.

The Polynesian Pool is the centrepiece of El Oceano's outdoor offering and one of the most talked-about features of the hotel. Beautifully designed and immaculately maintained, it's a heated pool set within a terrace that looks out towards the Mediterranean, open to hotel guests and non-residents alike and consistently ranked among the best pool experiences on the Costa del Sol. Come on a weekday for a quieter, more meditative afternoon. Come on a weekend for something rather more animated. Either way, you'll be very glad you did.

What's Included with a VIP Sunbed

A VIP sunbed at El Oceano isn't simply a lounger and a spot in the sun. It's a properly considered package designed to make your afternoon as effortless and enjoyable as possible.

Each VIP sunbed booking includes a premium sunbed position with a dedicated parasol, a set of luxury El Oceano towels, full access to the heated Polynesian Pool for the duration of your afternoon, and the services of a personal waiter who will take care of your drinks and food orders throughout the session. You don't need to move. You don't need to queue at a bar. You just relax, and everything comes to you.

The swim-up bar is an El Oceano signature — a proper poolside bar serving a well-stocked selection of cocktails, champagne, wines, beers, soft drinks, and light bites, all prepared and served by staff who know exactly what they're doing. Whether you're in the water or stretched out on your sunbed, it's always within easy reach.

VIP sunbeds are available from midday to 7pm, seven days a week throughout the season. Pricing is €80 per sunbed from Monday to Thursday and €100 per sunbed from Friday to Sunday.

Entertainment at the Polynesian Pool

From Thursday through to Sunday, the Polynesian Pool comes alive with live music and DJ entertainment — and it's one of the things that transforms a good afternoon into a genuinely great one. The entertainment is curated with care, always striking that particular balance between lively and relaxed that is harder to achieve than it sounds. The music fills the pool terrace with energy and atmosphere without ever becoming overwhelming, and it's the kind of soundtrack that makes everything — the cocktails, the conversation, the sunshine — feel a little better than it already was.

On quieter weekday sessions — Monday to Wednesday — the pool has a more peaceful character, perfect for guests who prefer to unwind without the added stimulation of a DJ set. Both versions of the afternoon have their devoted regulars, and both are thoroughly enjoyable in their different ways.

The Pool and the Setting

The Polynesian Pool is heated, which is one of the reasons it works so well throughout the full length of the El Oceano season — from the opening Easter Weekend right through to October. Even on the cooler spring and autumn days when the air temperature hasn't quite caught up with the calendar, the pool itself is inviting, and the combination of warm water and Costa del Sol sunshine makes for a remarkably pleasant afternoon even outside the height of summer.

The pool terrace is set within the wider El Oceano grounds and enjoys views towards the Mediterranean — a setting that needs little additional embellishment. Everything is kept to an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness and presentation, as you'd expect from a hotel of this quality.

The pool area is recommended for guests aged 14 and over, and the atmosphere reflects that. This is a sophisticated, adult-oriented environment — attentive and lively, but always with a sense of style and discretion that makes it a genuinely pleasurable place to spend the afternoon.

Good to Know

Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday sessions and during the peak summer months when availability can be limited. VIP sunbed reservations can be made directly through the booking system on this page — simply select 11am in the time dropdown to book a sunbed rather than a restaurant table.

If you'd prefer to speak to someone before booking, or if you have a specific request — a larger group, a special occasion, or a preference for a particular sunbed position — please call us directly on (+34) 952 587 550 or email info@oceanohotel.com and we'll be happy to help.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Polynesian Pool.
