Question

What is the best airport to fly into?

Answer

The closest airport to Marbella is Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), about 30 minutes away by car. For anyone traveling from Newark, NJ—there is a nonstop option! From other U.S. cities, most flights connect through Madrid, Barcelona, or another European hub. Other nearby airport: Gibraltar International Airport (GIB), about 1 hour from Marbella If you want to—and can—extend your trip on the front end or back end, we recommend it! Flights within Europe are typically affordable. For the best price, avoid booking one-way flights. Book roundtrip or multi-city trips.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

For the most charming Marbella experience, we recommend staying in Old Town Marbella (~10 minute drive from from venue). It’s the best option if you want to be in the middle of the action, with restaurants, shops, cafés, and the sea all nearby. Airbnbs in Old Town: Airbnb is typically the most affordable option, with plenty of great choices across a range of price points. We put together a list of recommended properties to make the search a little easier: https://www.airbnb.com/l/w08qlutR Hotels in Old Town: If you prefer a hotel and the amenities that come with it, we recommend: La Fonda Heritage Hotel, Relais & Châteaux⁠—A beautiful luxury hotel in the heart of Old Town. https://lafondaheritage.com/en/home/ Hotel Claude Marbella⁠—An intimate boutique hotel tucked into the historic center. https://hotelclaudemarbella.com/en/ Want to Stay Closer to the Venue? For those who prefer something quieter and closer to the wedding venue, we recommend: Rio Real Golf & Hotel Marbella⁠—A boutique hotel set on a golf course just outside the center of Marbella and is walkable to the wedding venue. It’s a great option if you’re traveling with kids, enjoy golf, or simply prefer a more peaceful setting away from the bustle of Old Town. https://rioreal.com/en/ You really can’t go wrong with either area—it just depends on the Marbella experience you’re looking for!

Question

When should we arrive?

Answer

Be on the lookout as we will be adding an "if we were guests..." section soon. We love to travel—and we really love to plan a trip. We also know that not everyone loves the planning part quite as much as we do. So, if you’d rather just be told where to go and what to do, we've got you. The "if we were guests" section will provide an outline of...if we were guests traveling from the U.S. for our wedding, this is how we’d spend the weekend and turn the trip to Marbella into a little Spanish vacation. More to come soon!

Question

What is a “Soft RSVP”?

Answer

A “soft RSVP” is an informal and rough headcount of who plans to attend. Think of a soft RSVP like an early pulse check to help us plan. This step will be very helpful given our wedding is abroad. This is not a formal commitment. You can edit your RSVP when we send out the formal invitations, if needed. Please Soft RSVP by 4/1/26. We hope you will join us!

Question

Will there be events outside of the wedding day?

Answer

Yes! We will be hosting celebrations each day. However, our hope is that you can simply relax, enjoy yourselves, and soak up everything Marbella has to offer. There will be time to explore on your own should you choose. Full details will be shared on the schedule page of our site soon!

Question

How do I get from the airport to Marbella?

Answer

The easiest way is Uber or taxi. You could also hire a private transfer, or get a rental car. There are also buses from Málaga Airport to Marbella’s central bus station, which is a more affordable option. We’ll share more recommendations for car services and transfers closer to the date.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

Only if you want to! Taxis and Ubers are very easy to arrange & readily available. That said, if you’d like to explore the Andalusian coast or nearby towns like Ronda, renting a car is a great idea.

Question

Are there any local customs or etiquette I should know?

Answer

Spain is relaxed but stylish. Guests often dress elegantly for celebrations, and it’s customary to greet hosts with a friendly hug or kiss on the cheek. We think these phrases will come in handy for the celebration: Hello / Cheers! (when raising a glass): ¡Salud! (sah-LOOD) – literally “health” Goodbye / See you later: ¡Hasta luego! (AH-stah LWAY-goh) – “See you later” More wine / Keep it coming: ¡Otro vino, por favor! (OH-troh VEE-no por fah-VOR) – “Another wine, please!” Let’s celebrate / Cheers to love: ¡Brindemos por el amor! (breen-DEH-mos por el ah-MOR) A Spanish Toast: ¡Arriba, abajo, al centro, y pa’ dentro! (ahr-REE-bah, ah-BAH-ho, al SEHN-troh, ee pah DEHN-troh) – “Up, down, center, and inside!” – referring to the motion of raising your glass up, down, clinking in the center, and then drinking.
