If you’re landing at Málaga Airport and your destination is Atalaya Golf & Country Club, its location between Marbella and Estepona means travelling by car gives you more flexibility to plan the journey at your own pace and get around easily between your accommodation, the course and everything else the Costa del Sol has to offer.
Atalaya Golf is in a well-connected area by road. So if you’re travelling with luggage, golf clubs or simply the intention of getting around during your stay, the car is usually the most comfortable option, no timetables, no waiting, no transfers.
In this guide we’ll cover exactly where it is, which route tends to work best via the A-7 or the AP-7, what to keep in mind when hiring a car if you’re coming to play golf, and how to get around more comfortably between the airport, your hotel and the course during your stay on the Costa del Sol.
Where it is and how long it takes from Málaga Airport
Atalaya Golf & Country Club is in the Atalaya Isdabe area, between Marbella and Estepona, close to San Pedro de Alcántara and the stretch where several courses and residential developments are concentrated along the western Costa del Sol. The journey itself is straightforward, though it’s worth knowing in advance which area you’ll be staying in afterwards, whether that’s Estepona, Guadalmina or Marbella.
From Málaga Airport, the drive typically takes around 50 to 55 minutes. If you land mid-morning, late afternoon or during the summer months, that time can stretch a little further.
The most convenient route by car via the A-7 or the AP-7
To get to Atalaya Golf from Málaga Airport, the journey runs along the western Costa del Sol towards the Atalaya Isdabe area, with the address at Avenida del Coral 42, 29688. The main decision here is whether to take the A-7, if you’d rather avoid a toll, or the AP-7 when you want a smoother run through the stretches that tend to get busier before reaching the Marbella and San Pedro area.
Based on the official 2026 toll rates for standard cars, the Calahonda exit is listed at €3.55 and the San Pedro exit at €2.20 during the standard season, with higher rates during peak season.
If you want everything sorted from the start, a hire car lets you arrange collection at Málaga Airport or adapt it to fit your stay, making the journey more comfortable throughout your trip.
More flexibility to get around between the airport, your hotel and the course on the Costa del Sol
If you’re coming to play golf for several days, a hire car also makes it much easier to get around between your hotel, the course and any other plans you have during the trip, without depending on transfers or timetables every time you head out or head back. On the Costa del Sol, where many accommodation options are not right next to Atalaya Golf, having that flexibility makes the whole stay more comfortable.
With Wikirentacar you can arrange car collection to suit your type of stay, whether you’re arriving through Málaga Airport or need to move between your hotel and the course with more freedom. In addition, in partnership with the club, players can access up to 30% off across all vehicle categories.
