If your summer plans in Melbourne don’t yet include a rooftop pool, consider this your official invitation. This silly season, Vibe Hotel Docklands is opening up its level seven oasis to the public for just $25 per adult, per day. Suddenly, an elevated city escape complete with cocktails, sunbeds and sweeping views across the Yarra River feels pretty achievable.

Sitting pretty above Docklands Drive, Vibe’s sun-soaked terrace is home to a 25-metre heated pool and an adjoining spa if you’d rather enjoy your aquatic activities sitting down. Poolside dining is available straight to your sunbed, and the menu hits all the right notes for sky-high summer snacking: crispy calamari, Wagyu smash burgers and hot chippies washed down with a zesty Margarita or an ice-cold schooner.

Designed to help Melburnians make the most of their summer, the hotel’s pool is opening up to the public bright and early – welcoming guests from 6am for a sunrise swim and shutting up shop at 9pm every evening. The poolside menu is available from 11am until 8pm, so whether you’re heading up for a lazy lunch or a sunset Spritz, you’re covered.
Adult passes cost $25 per person, and kids under 16 can join in the fun for just $15. Keen? You can book over here.
