Route overview

Málaga Airport to Puerto Banús is roughly 65 km west along the AP-7 / A-7. A taxi or licensed private transfer typically takes about 50 minutes in normal traffic. Puerto Banús is a marina district within the Marbella municipality, immediately west of the town. There is no direct rail service: the Cercanías C-1 line terminates in Fuengirola, roughly 40 km short of the marina.

Transfer options

Featured option
Private transfer or licensed airport taxi
Door to door. Taxis wait at the official airport rank; pre-booked private transfers meet you inside arrivals. Typical journey 45–70 min (Approximate estimate — see methodology).
Other ways to travel
  • Avanzabús regional coach to Marbella bus station (Aena lists Avanzabús as a Marbella operator), then a short local taxi or bus to the marina — a common budget itinerary.
  • Car rental at airport counters, useful if you're staying in the marina area for several days or planning wider Costa del Sol travel.

Where to meet your ride at the airport

  • Official airport taxi rank: at the arrivals area — follow the taxi signs from baggage reclaim. See Aena's taxi page for the current pickup location.
  • Pre-booked transfers: meeting points vary by provider. Confirm the exact location in your booking instructions.
  • Puerto Banús is administratively part of Marbella. When booking, make sure the pickup address matches the quote, since coverage and pricing are set by each provider individually.

Frequently asked questions

Is Puerto Banús far from Marbella?
Puerto Banús is roughly 7 km west of central Marbella and part of the same municipality.
Can I take a bus directly from Málaga Airport to Puerto Banús?
Aena's bus page lists Avanzabús services to Marbella from the airport; it does not list Puerto Banús as a separate destination. Most bus itineraries route via Marbella bus station and continue by local taxi or bus to the marina.
Is there a train to Puerto Banús?
No. The airport rail line (Cercanías C-1) runs east to Málaga and west only as far as Fuengirola. Puerto Banús is beyond the western end of the line and has no train service.
