Emily's Top Tip for Marbella

"Marbella is most definitely a high-end stag do destination, so make sure you've got the budget for it before you get too deep into the planning."

"On average, you'll find yourselves spending over £100 more on activities and accommodation than you would in places like Benidorm and Albufeira, plus drinks, flights and food tend to be more expensive."

🍺 Emily's Night Out Top Tip

"Puerto Banus is the place to head."

"Right next to a load of moored-up yachts, you'll find a load of banging bars and clubs ready to welcome you and the guys in."

The Best Time to Go

According to our stats at StagWeb, 61% of stags visit from June to August, and that's when Marbs is at its best.

Yes, you're pretty much guaranteed unbelievable weather (usually in the 30s) and an electric atmosphere to go with.

And, trust us, there's nothing better than an ice-cold cerveza under the Mediterranean sun.

The life.

How Long Do People Go For?

48% of stags stayed for 4 days (3 nights).

3 nights gives you guys plenty of time to take on a few activities, nights out and a enjoy few rare days of sun. A lot of stags go for longer, but we wouldn't recommend any less than that - you'll just find yourselves trying to pack too much in.

Yep, 3 nights gives you plenty of time to drink in the atmosphere (and Estrella).

How Soon Do People Book?

Those heading to Marbella booked their weekends 4 months before they were due to go, which is the average according to our end-of-year stats.

At StagWeb, we'd always advise people to book as early as popular, particularly if they're heading abroad because:

  • Flights are usually cheaper the earlier you book
  • There's more availability for activities and hotels
  • You get the pick of the time slots to suit your itinerary

Any later and you risk missing out on your preferred options to a more organised group.

Where to Stay in Marbella

Due to the luxury status of Marbella, not all hotels or apartments will let stags stay.

Don't get caught short on arrival - be sure to browse our range of stag-friendly Marbella accommodation options and find the place that suits your group.

How to Get to Marbella...

What Airport to Fly to...

Marbella itself doesn't have an airport, so you need to fly into Malaga.

While the majority of UK airports fly directly to Malaga Airport, we'd recommend checking beforehand to avoid any complications!

How Long is the Flight from the UK?

The average flight duration from the UK to Malaga is around 3 hours.

Just 3 hours between you and insane weather and ice-cold beers - what's there to think about?

Getting from the Airport to Marbella

Marbella is 50.5km (31 miles) away from Malaga Airport, and it takes just under an hour to get there.

You can catch a direct Avanza bus from the terminal to Marbella Bus Station which takes 40 minutes and costs between €6.19 - €8.80.

There are loads of taxis waiting outside the airport, too, but, as we want your holiday to be an absolute breeze, you can book a private airport transfer through us which will drop you outside your accommodation.

Just make sure you tick the option on the bottom of your Marbella enquiry and we'll add it to your free quote.

No fuss. No faff. No hassle.

Taxi - There are plenty of taxis knocking about, so you and the boys can get to wherever you need to go with ease
