From Airport to Villa
Málaga Airport is well-organised and straightforward to navigate. Arrivals exit into a modern terminal with taxis, car hire counters, the Cercanías train and ride-hailing pick-up all within 10 minutes of landing. For most villa guests, a private transfer or taxi is the most comfortable option.
We arrange private airport transfers for all our villa guests, it's the most stress-free option and ensures someone is waiting for you regardless of how delayed or tired you are. For those travelling independently, the licensed taxi rank is reliable and prices are fixed by zone.

A dedicated vehicle meets you at arrivals with your name on a board, no waiting, no sharing, direct to your villa. Available 24 hours, child seats on request, air-conditioned vehicles. The most comfortable and stress-free option, particularly after a long flight with luggage.
Fixed-price taxis operate from the official rank outside arrivals. Prices are regulated and displayed. No app needed, no negotiation. Reliable and straightforward for most destinations.
The airport train (under the terminal, follow signs) runs every 20 minutes to Málaga city, Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Excellent value for destinations on this line. Not suitable for Marbella, Nerja or rural villas.
Uber and Cabify operate from Málaga Airport, slightly cheaper than taxis for some routes. Pick-up from Terminal 3 (follow signs). Works well for Málaga city, Torremolinos and Marbella.
All major car hire companies (Europcar, Hertz, SIXT, Avis) operate from the airport terminal. Book in advance, especially in summer when rates and availability are significantly better pre-booked. Essential for rural villas.

Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name board, helps with luggage and drives you directly to your villa. We use professional, licensed operators with modern vehicles. Child seats are available on request.
Licensed taxis from Málaga Airport to Marbella run approximately €55–65. This is a fixed zone rate, the meter should show a fair price. For groups of 4–8 people, a private transfer is often similar in price to two taxis but with a larger vehicle and a pre-arranged meet-and-greet service.
Yes, the C1 train is modern, punctual and runs every 20 minutes throughout the day (less frequently late at night). It is an excellent option for guests staying in Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola or Málaga city. For any destination further west than Fuengirola or east of Málaga, a road-based transfer is needed.
Private transfers and licensed taxis operate 24 hours at Málaga Airport, there is never a problem with late arrivals. Uber and Cabify also operate around the clock.
