Taxi from Meliá Costa del Sol to Malaga Airport
A licensed taxi from Meliá Costa del Sol to Malaga Airport typically costs ~€15–25 in daytime conditions. The A-7 coastal route is toll-free. Taxis are available from the Torremolinos town centre ranks. Night-time, weekend, and public holiday surcharges apply.
For early morning flights, always call a local taxi company the night before or pre-book a private transfer. On-demand taxi availability at the Torremolinos beachfront before 07:00 is limited.
Meliá Costa del Sol is just ~10–14 km from the airport – one of the shortest hotel-to-airport journeys on the Costa del Sol. Even a pre-booked private transfer from ~€35 is very affordable at this distance.
Private Transfer: The Best Option
For most travellers, a pre-booked private transfer is the best option. Fixed price from ~€35, confirmed pickup at the hotel entrance, and direct delivery to the Malaga Airport terminal. No meter, no rank queue, automatic flight tracking included.
For early morning flights especially, a confirmed hotel pickup at a fixed time is worth far more than any saving from an on-demand taxi.
When to Leave for the Airport
Off-peak (October–May): Leave 2h before your flight. The 15–20 min drive gives a comfortable check-in buffer.
Peak season (June–September): Leave 2.5h before. The A-7 can slow during summer mornings.
Early morning flights (before 07:00): Always pre-book your transfer the night before. On-demand taxis at the Torremolinos beachfront are not reliably available at early hours.
For any flight before 07:00, pre-book your transfer the night before. Do not rely on finding a taxi at the Torremolinos rank at 05:00 in the morning. A confirmed private transfer pickup removes all departure-day risk.
