With a firm commitment to nature, art, gastronomy and sustainability, Higuerón Resort is one of the most exclusive resorts in southern Europe. Located in Fuengirola, in the heart of Malaga’s Costa del Sol, it is the choice for those who demand luxury, comfort and privacy for their holidays.

Higuerón Resort is part of the Higuerón Development family, a Spanish company specialising in exclusive urban and hotel developments. With the main premise that the environment is as important as the space itself, it offers its clients unique experiences through the management of hotel, leisure and luxury spaces and exquisite urban developments that are environmentally responsible and clearly differentiated.

Its strategic location, just twenty-five kilometres from Malaga and Marbella and fifteen from the airport located between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, makes it easily accessible for international tourists seeking comfort and easy transport links. A tourist profile that seeks exclusive experiences to enjoy without leaving the hotel, and at Higuerón Resort, they get it.

With a strong commitment to personalised premium services and comfort, Higuerón Resort has redesigned its offering to be 100% experiential, providing its guests with the perfect retreat to unwind and enjoy an unforgettable stay.

The Art of Living reflected in every corner

The suites at Higuerón CURIO Collection by Hilton 5* and the apartments, penthouses and villas at Leiro Residence combine privacy, design and panoramic views to guarantee an unforgettable stay. Each one has its own personality and identity, and has been designed with the comfort and well-being of its guests in mind. All areas of Higuerón Resort are the result of careful consideration, offering an experience that will linger in your memory and invite you to return, thanks to their elegant exteriors and attention to detail that guarantees tranquillity and well-being.

One of these spaces is the Infinity Rooftop, an elegant and exclusive setting—open to everyone, whether or not they are staying at the resort—where you can enjoy a signature cocktail or sophisticated cuisine with the impressive Infinity Pool. A lively setting where you can enjoy a revitalising sunrise at breakfast time or a beautiful sunset with friends or your partner, comfortably relaxed on one of the Balinese beds.

In addition to exclusive accommodation, Higuerón Resort is a museum that is open 24 hours a day. Thanks to its permanent Art Essence collection, comprising more than four hundred pieces by renowned artists such as Francisco Leiro, Lita Cabellut and Malaga-born Darko, every corner of the hotel becomes a vibrant gallery. All of these works can be viewed thanks to guided tours that explain the history and meaning of each piece, inspiring guests to connect with their surroundings in an authentic and profound way.

Divided into one or two bedrooms and accommodating up to four people, the penthouses and suites with kitchenettes feature a spacious solarium, private pool or jacuzzi, chill-out area and barbecue area, making them ideal for enjoying the tranquillity of a private apartment. On the other hand, the villas, designed for the comfort of up to eight people and divided into two or three levels, are a refuge where the possibilities for leisure are endless, thanks to their swimming pool, outdoor area and terraces with chill-out areas, wine cellar, cinema room and spa with sauna and jacuzzi.

Culinary offerings

At Higuerón Resort, gastronomy plays a fundamental role, becoming yet another attraction. In each and every one of its restaurants, every menu is carefully crafted to offer a memorable and unforgettable experience. The ingredients used are always of the highest quality and the expertise of the kitchen team, led by chef Diego Gallegos, transforms them into delicious dishes. 

Higuerón Resort has several restaurants, including Sollo by Diego Gallegos. The Michelin-starred researcher and culinary creator offers us new concepts, using innovative processes and regional ingredients of the highest quality. The menu only features river fish and vegetables that he raises and grows himself using a process known as aquaponics. 

Other culinary temples include MED Restaurant, where stepping through the doors is like embarking on a journey through the Mediterranean, and where we are encouraged to let our senses experience the art of living on the Mediterranean coast. Surrounded by the MED pool, it is ideal for quick lunches and long dinners.

Arara Bistró Bar is synonymous with a fusion of Brazilian, Peruvian and Andalusian flavours, combined with exotic influences from Southeast Asia, all with the unmistakable stamp of chef Diego Gallegos.

Outside the resort are The Japo, The Club and The Beach, all located at The Beach Club Higuerón. The first, always using the best local produce, offers Japanese cuisine with a nod to Malaga’s culinary traditions. It is the perfect place to enjoy delicious dishes with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. The Club combines Balinese beds by the pool or facing the sea, sunset activities, massages and the best cocktails with casual cuisine designed by chef Diego Gallegos. Finally, The Beach offers a menu also created by Diego Gallegos, which can be enjoyed with the sand between your toes and the sea breeze on your face.

We return to the resort to discover La Higuerita, which offers a healthy selection of fresh, seasonal dishes sourced locally. All this next to one of the hotel’s swimming pools.

Chupadeo allows you to taste the essence of Andalusia with a concept of local cuisine and fresh, healthy flavours that have been awarded the ‘Sabor a Málaga’ seal of quality for their excellence.

Its infinity pool, dreamy hammocks, signature cuisine and vibrant atmosphere are designed for the well-being and enjoyment of its visitors. Exclusivity and comfort guarantee unforgettable moments in its three spaces: The Japo, The Club and The Beach. If that doesn’t encourage you to find out, I don’t know what else we can do.

Located in Benalmádena, The Beach Club Higuerón is open 365 days a year so you can enjoy its extensive programme of activities, events and unbeatable cuisine. The new season, which has just begun, offers a varied programme of activities such as yoga, water meditation, treatments and massages on Balinese beds, and an extensive menu.
