Leiro Residences - Preferred Hotels & Resorts
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Leiro Residences - Preferred Hotels & Resorts is worth booking if you want the top-rated 5-star stay in Fuengirola, with a spa, pool, gym and sea views, and you have a car or budget for taxis. Skip it if you want to walk to the beach or town, since it sits on a steep hill well away from both.

This is our Luxury pick in Fuengirola. It suits couples and families who want to spend time at the hotel itself, using the spa, pool, gym, garden and terrace. Family rooms and free parking are listed.
Skip it if you plan to stroll to the seafront each day. Guests mention sea views, but they also say it sits on a steep hill far from the beach.
Location and getting around
The address is Av. Del Higuerón 48, in the Reserva del Higueron area. The location score is 8.7.
Castillo de Colomares is 2.3 km away, about 29 minutes on foot. Fuengirola Mosque is 6.2 km, about 78 minutes, and Sohail Castle is 6.9 km, about 86 minutes. Those last two are far, so plan on a car, public transport or a taxi.
A beach appears in the provider facilities, but this does not confirm a beachfront location or a walking distance. Given guest comments about the hill, assume you will need transport. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The guest score is 9.2 out of 10 from 175 reviews. It shared first place on review score among 12 eligible properties.
Staff stand out. Guests describe a friendly, welcoming team that gives helpful service and assists with bookings. Breakfast is also praised, with tasty food and a wide choice served either in the restaurant or on the rooftop.
The main drawback is location. Guests enjoy the sea views but note the steep hill and the distance from the beach.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were €279.00 per night. The sample median was €94.16, so this costs nearly three times the typical rate. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Reyesol, our Budget pick, is a 2-star hotel scored 8.3 at €55.00 per night. Casa Consistorial, our Best Value pick, is a 4-star hotel scored 8.9 at €94.00 per night.
For about €185 more per night than Casa Consistorial, you get 5 stars, the highest guest score of the three, and a spa, pool, gym, garden, terrace and free parking. You also give up an easy walk to town, so factor in transport costs.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 eligible hotels in Fuengirola. Our Luxury slot goes first to official 5-star hotels, and this one is rated 5 stars with a joint-top score of 9.2.
That mix of rating, facilities and guest praise for staff and breakfast earned the place. The hillside location is the honest tradeoff.
Before you book
