About
Macdonald Leila Playa occupies a beachfront location, just a short stroll from Calahonda with its shops, tapas bars, restaurants, and nightlife. The swimming pool is surrounded by sun terraces, tumbling waterfalls, rockeries, and rock pools. At the colonial-style clubhouse, you can enjoy a drink or meal in the bar/restaurant, or dine alfresco on the club terrace, overlooking the pool. Macdonald Leila Playa is close to both the chic resort town of Marbella and the jet-set harbor of Puerto Banús
