Stay here for a guests-only roof pool by the sea, looking over Foz do Douro, the river and the ocean. It is a 3-star hotel, and the floor, hours and heating aren't published.
The pool
Hotel Boa-Vista has its pool on the roof (cobertura), next to the bar and terrace, in Foz do Douro. The address is Esplanada do Castelo 58. The outlook is panoramic over the district, the river and the sea. A gym is available alongside the pool.
Our take
Foz do Douro is the seaside part of Porto, known for its beaches, and the hotel is described as about a five-minute walk from the beach. That sets it apart from the city-centre pools on our list. Porta Nobre is the other guests-only option, but it closes after October; Boa-Vista publishes no season.
The downside is what's missing: the floor, hours and heating aren't published, and the rating is 4.2 from 1116 reviews, the lowest of the hotels in this batch. Visitors can't swim, so a stay is required.
