VIP Lounge At Malaga Airport

The VIP lounge at Malaga Airport is large and comfortable and offers free WiFi and food. You can sit by the windows overlooking the downstairs Departure hall with a clear view of all the shops, restaurants and passengers coming and going. This comprehensive guide explains how to access the Malaga VIP Lounge, its prices, opening times and all the services included.

Where is the VIP Lounge Malaga Airport?

After you clear Security, you need to walk through the large Duty Free Shop. Once you come out the other end of the shop, turn right. The VIP lounge is just ahead, up at the top of the stairs, on Floor 2. There is also a lift that takes you to the VIP Lounge if you cannot take the stairs.

Free WiFi & Comfort

The Malaga Airport VIP Lounge provides free WiFi. The lounge itself is spacious and has a huge number of oversized sofas, chairs and tables where you can sit and relax or have a meal before your flight. There are TV areas with a large amount of seating – one is at the back and a bit more private. Unlike many other VIP lounges we have visited, this never feels busy as it’s so huge at over 2,600m2.

Amenities Included

The lounge offers a big, comfortable lounge-seating area overlooking the Departures hall. There are also computers and printers, free WiFi access, food, snacks and drinks, meeting areas, an excellent selection of newspapers and magazines, TV areas, two sets of nice clean toilets, a rest area for sleeping and a children’s play area. Finally, there is also a small jewellery shop in the lounge.

Food & Drinks

Food and drinks in the VIP Lounge are included in the price. Depending on the time of day, there are different things to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

At main meal times, there is hot food, including paella and stews.
Generally, there are plenty of snacks like cereals, sandwiches, salads, doughnuts, pastries, biscuits, tea, coffee, soft drinks, olives and crisps available all the time.
Water, coffee, tea and soft drinks are included.

If you’re staying here for a couple of hours and have a good appetite, it could be worth it because you can pay anything up to 15-20€ for a sandwich and a coffee at the restaurants in the Departures hall. All snacks and drinks are included in the price of your entry into the lounge, and they also have small water bottles so you can grab a couple for the flight.

Flight Screens / No Loudspeaker Announcements

A word of warning! There are no loudspeaker announcements in the VIP Lounge. So don’t forget to keep an eye on the flight screens if you’re waiting for your flight boarding to be announced. This is especially relevant if you’re flying to a non-Schengen country (for example the UK, USA and Ireland) because you will still need to clear Passport Control before getting to your boarding gate, which can take a while.

Is the VIP Lounge Malaga Airport worth it?

If you feel like having a bit of a treat, have a delayed flight, or wish to catch up on some work/emails, the VIP Lounge is a great place to sit for a while. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, and of course, free Wifi. It’s also worth a visit if you have a Priority Pass or an airline ticket that gives you free access. As a downside, there is often a queue to get in, especially in peak times, so it may not be worth it if you don’t have much time until your flight.

The price does seem expensive, but having used the VIP lounges at Bristol Airport and Heathrow, in comparison, Malaga Airport VIP is a great lounge because it’s huge and therefore never feels too busy. There is always lots of food, the toilets are incredibly clean and the WiFi has always worked. There are also lots of points to charge phones and laptops, plus you can grab a bottle of water to take onto the flight. All in all, we recommend the VIP Lounge at Malaga Airport if you have time to spare or if you’re a Priority Pass holder or flying in Business Class.
