Higuerón Hotel Málaga, Curio Collection by Hilton
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
The upscale, design-led choice above Fuengirola, part of Hilton's Curio Collection. It pairs a spectacular rooftop infinity pool with a children's splash zone and a play area, plus a free shuttle down to Carvajal beach.
Our verdict
For parents who want style, good food and a wow pool without going fully child-centric, this is the pick. Just plan around needing the shuttle to reach the sand.
The rooms
Polished, contemporary rooms with quality beds and generous family options that comfortably take two adults and two children. Higher floors get the sea views that define the place.

Spacious, genuinely luxurious rooms and family suites with fine linens and marble bathrooms. Baby equipment and bottle sterilisation come on request, so travelling with little ones is properly catered for.

Every apartment has a proper kitchenette, a balcony and a sofa bed for two, so a family of four spreads out easily. One and two bedroom options mean bigger groups get a real separate bedroom.

Standard family rooms take two adults and two children, with a sofa bed and a small balcony. They are practical rather than plush, so ask for a renovated room and one facing the gardens if you want quiet at nap time.
