Holidays in Marbella, Spain

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
The nearest airport is Malaga, around 30 minutes away by car. There’s a toll road and a freeway, neither of which is straightforward to negotiate, particularly at night. A licensed taxi from the airport is around €50, or ease into your holiday via a Merc or BMW from Skybus for a few euros more (book at the UK office on +44 (0)1243 784349; www.skybusspain.com). If you want to ham up the jet-set look, glide up to your hotel in a stretch limo from the Marbella Limousine Company (+34 618 640 100; www.limosol.com), from €25 a person.
Trains
There’s no direct rail link from Malaga airport to Marbella.
Automobiles
You’ll probably find it’s not worth renting a car: the narrow Marbella streets are much friendlier to pedestrians than vehicles; signposting isn’t great; and traffic lights are positioned high up so you have to squint into the sun… There are buses from Malaga airport: see www.andalucia.com/travel/bus/airport.htm for timetables and details.
