Higueron Hotel Malaga, Curio Collection by Hilton is a very smart pick if you want a five-star base on the Costa del Sol with easy access to top courses. Sitting on the eastern edge of Fuengirola, it puts you around 15 minutes from Málaga Airport and within reach of more than 18 courses, so there are no long transfers eating into your tee time and no shortage of layouts to choose from across a longer stay.
Higuerón has been established on the Costa del Sol for more than 30 years and has built a strong reputation for combining luxury stays with standout sport, wellness and dining. The resort brings together a five-star hotel, spa, beach club, sports club and restaurants in one well-connected location, and the quality runs through all of it.

Rooms and suites at Higuerón Hotel Málaga, Curio Collection by Hilton are modern, spacious and well set up for a golf break, with private terraces or balconies and views towards the Mediterranean or the Sierra de Mijas. The style is contemporary throughout, with light-filled interiors, open-plan bathrooms and a strong focus on art and design that gives the hotel considerably more character than most large Costa del Sol resorts.
The art collection is a genuine talking point. Across the 290 rooms and public spaces, around 400 works by artists including Enrique Brinkman, Lita Cabellut and Francisco Leiro are displayed throughout, from sculptures and lithographs to large-format paintings. There are classic cars on show too, including Alfred Hitchcock's Rolls Royce decorated by Málaga street artist D.Darko. The collection gives the hotel real personality and makes it feel like a destination in its own right rather than just a place to sleep between rounds.
The loft-style rooms are a strong choice for couples, with open-plan layouts and separate bathtubs that give them a genuinely considered feel rather than the functional anonymity you find at too many golf hotels. For those wanting more space, three suite categories are available, each spread across two levels of up to 77 square metres with a living room, guest bathroom, bedroom with en-suite and a private terrace with sea or mountain views.
At the top of the range, the Leiro Suites and Residences step things up considerably, with exclusive services and a level of finish that suits anyone celebrating a special trip or simply wanting the full five-star experience. The Leiro Sky Suite includes a Jacuzzi, a Balinese bed and priority reservations at Sollo, the resort's Michelin-starred restaurant, which is a strong combination if you want to make the most of an evening without any planning headaches.
Across all room types, the quality of the outdoor space is a consistent strength. Whether you are looking out over the coast or back towards the mountains, the private terrace is somewhere you will actually want to spend time, not just a token balcony.
Food is one of Higuerón's strongest selling points and a genuine reason to choose this resort over others on the Costa del Sol. Sollo, led by Diego Gallegos, holds a Michelin star, a Green Star and two Repsol Suns. The menu focuses on sustainable Mediterranean ingredients with a clear Latin American influence from Gallegos's roots, and the cooking is precise, creative and worth planning an evening around. Sollo is a serious draw in its own right, not just a hotel restaurant that happens to have an accolade.
The wider dining offer gives you plenty of variety across a three or four-night stay. Chupadeo carries the "Sabor a Málaga" quality seal and serves traditional Andalusian cuisine made with locally sourced produce, which is the right call after a long day on the course when you want something honest and well-made rather than elaborate. Arara Bistro Bar, also from the Gallegos stable, brings together Brazilian, Peruvian and Andalusian flavours with Southeast Asian influences for a more relaxed, informal setting.
The rooftop at Infinity is the place to be at the end of the day. Cocktails, pool access and views across the coast as the sun drops behind the Mijas mountains make it a natural gathering point for the group before dinner. For golfers, that matters. You can keep things easy after a late round or turn one evening into a proper occasion without leaving the resort.
On the course itself, food and drink service is available during your round, with drinks, snacks and sandwiches on offer so you can keep your energy up without rushing back to the clubhouse.
The leisure offer at Higuerón goes well beyond what most golf resorts provide, and that is a genuine selling point for anyone travelling with a non-golfer or wanting to make the most of a rest day.
The spa is the obvious first stop after a heavy day on the course. The Higuerón Spa hydrotherapy circuit runs through a dynamic pool with 30 pressure jets targeting the whole body, alongside massage beds, a jacuzzi, waterfalls, a sauna, a Turkish bath, an indoor heated pool and a solarium. It is comprehensive, well-designed and exactly what you need after two rounds in the Andalusian sun.
Higuerón Sport Club is one of the most complete athletic facilities on the Costa del Sol. Nine padel courts, a tennis court, basketball, beach volleyball, pétanque and a state-of-the-art gym with personal trainers, spinning, pilates and meditation classes give you more than enough to fill a rest day. There is also a 25-metre indoor pool with aquatic sports rehabilitation for anyone managing a niggle.
Five outdoor swimming pools are spread across the resort, each with sun loungers and parasols, and a complimentary tram runs down to the beach when you want a change of scene. For something more memorable, the resort's two private yachts offer exclusive dining experiences on the water. Sailing along the Costa del Sol with dinner being prepared on deck is a very good way to spend an afternoon that does not involve a golf club.
