However, there are a handful of shops in the public zones, available to non-passengers. If you jump down to our full list of Malaga Airport shops below, you’ll be able to see where each shop is located.

What are the Malaga Airport shop opening times?

Malaga Airport shop opening times vary. As a general rule, the duty free shops and the stores selling high street brands open anytime from 5am to 9am, and close sometime between 8pm and 11pm. You can check individual shop opening times on the AENA website.

Is Malaga Airport shopping cheap?

Personally, we don’t find the shopping at the airport that cheap. In fact, you can often find better deals in the shops along the Costa del Sol. For example, the El Corte Ingles department stores in Malaga and Marbella are great for perfumes, aftershaves, fashion, makeup, etc. Especially if you are eligible for a 10% discount with your passport – it’s worth asking them for details. See our Costa del Sol Guide and our Malaga City Guide for more information about shops on the coast.

What about paying taxes / duty-free shopping?

If you are travelling within EU countries, you do not have to pay tax or duty if the following applies:  

  • You can transport the goods yourself
  • You will use them yourself or give them as a gift
  • You have paid duty and tax in the country where you bought them

If you’re travelling from outside the EU, you can bring a certain amount of goods for your own use without paying duty or tax, but the following must also apply:

  • You can transport the goods yourself
  • You will use them yourself or give them as a gift

Our 5 top tips for shopping in Malaga Airport

Here is some general advice we have found useful. We hope it will help you make the most out of your Malaga Airport shopping!

  1. Keep your boarding pass handy, they still ask for it in all the shops.
  2. It’s easy to lose track of time, keep an eye on your boarding times.
  3. If you need to charge your phones, there are plugs in the Work Area on Floor 2 (you’ll need to go up the escalators from the main shopping area).
  4. If you require medical items, there’s a pharmacy in Terminal 3 Departures public zone and Parafarmacia vending machines beyond security.
  5. Once you go through the Passport Control for UK flights, the shopping is very limited. So make sure you buy everything you need before you go through.
