Where is the VIP Lounge at Malaga Airport?

As you leave the large Duty Free Shop after security, turn right, and the VIP lounge is just up the top of the stairs. There is also a lift that takes you to the VIP Lounge.    If you feel like 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 in a very relaxed atmosphere with Free Wifi Access. It’s also worth a visit if you have a Priority Pass/Airline Ticket that gives you free access.

A word of warning! Don’t rely on the screens to show your flights! Flights are boarding 1 hour before the flight departure time, and the screens may not show your flight, so check with reception.

The VIP lounge is huge with lots of oversized sofas, chairs and tables where you can sit and relax or have a meal before your flight. Unlike many other VIP lounges we have visited, this never feels busy as it’s so huge at over 2,600sqm.

What´s included in the VIP Lounge at Malaga?

The food has improved with lots of different sandwiches, salads, hot dishes like paella and cakes. If you’re staying here for a couple of hours and have a good appetite, it could be worth paying because you can pay anything up to 10€ for a sandwich at one of the other bars/restaurants.

All snacks and drinks are included in the price of your entry. There is often a queue to get in, so it may not be worth it if you don’t have much time until your flight.

They have also put back small water bottles so that you can grab a couple for the flight!

Food at Malaga Airport VIP

What’s on offer may change day to day, but generally, there are cereals, sandwiches, salads, doughnuts, Danish pastries, biscuits, tea, coffee, soft drinks,  olives and crisps. There are TV areas with a large amount of seating. One is at the back and a bit more private.

There is a great newly refurbished area overlooking the departure lounge and there are also computers and printers, free wifi access,  meeting areas, an excellent selection of newspapers and magazines, air traffic information, fax service, 2 sets of nice clean toilets, and also access for people with reduced mobility. There is also a small jewellery shop in the lounge as well.

All said and done, €35.95 is a lot of money to pay. However,  if your flight is delayed and you need somewhere quiet to sit to pass the time and check your emails, then it’s not bad value when you consider that you could easily spend €30 on a couple of sandwiches and drinks over a few hours in any airport.

Final Thoughts on Malaga VIP Lounge

The price does seem expensive; however, having used the VIP lounges at Bristol Airport and Heathrow, in comparison, Malaga Airport VIP is a great lounge. Malaga VIP is huge and 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.
