Malaga is the gateway to the Costa del Sol and one of the most popular year-round destinations from Liverpool Airport. Plan your private transfer for your Malaga flight.
Malaga is one of the most popular destinations from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, with flights operating year-round to the Costa del Sol's principal gateway. The city and its surrounding coastline offer something for almost every type of traveller — beach holidays in Marbella and Torremolinos, cultural breaks in Malaga city, golf on the Costa del Sol's world-class courses and winter sun escapes when the rest of Europe is cold.
About Malaga and the Costa del Sol
Malaga is Andalusia's second city and one of Spain's most dynamic destinations. The historic centre has been transformed in recent years, with the Picasso Museum (Picasso was born here), the Pompidou Centre Malaga, the Alcazaba fortress and a thriving restaurant and bar scene making the city a genuine destination in its own right.
The Costa del Sol stretches east and west from Malaga Airport, offering a varied coastline. Torremolinos and Benalmádena are popular resort towns close to the airport. Marbella, around 60 kilometres west, is one of Europe's most glamorous resorts, with Puerto Banús marina, luxury hotels and a sophisticated dining scene. Nerja, to the east, is a quieter, more traditional town with dramatic cliffs and excellent beaches.
Why people fly to Malaga
The Costa del Sol enjoys a mild climate year-round, making Malaga one of the few Spanish destinations where winter travel is genuinely appealing. The combination of reliable sunshine, excellent golf courses, a vibrant city and a wide range of accommodation options — from budget apartments to five-star hotels — makes it one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations.
Malaga Airport (AGP) is one of Spain's busiest airports, located just 8 kilometres from Malaga city centre and well connected to the resorts along the coast.
