A trip to Andalusia isn’t complete without visiting the Costa del Sol. Enjoy Andalusia’s capital of Seville, then head south to the beautiful beaches. The distance from Seville to Marbella is approximately 135 miles (220 km) and allows you to enjoy the diverse Andalusian terrain during your car trip.
Marbella is a luxurious holiday destination with every possible activity. Spend the day shopping in Puerto Banus then go dance flamenco in a seaside nightclub. Or sample hundreds of tapas plates after a long game of golf. Day trips to surrounding towns and natural wonders are the best reason to get out of the city.
Whatever your lifestyle, Marbella will exceed your vacation expectations.
The small city of Marbella is nestled along the sun-kissed shores of the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Your trip from Seville to Marbella will take you over all different terrains until you’ve finally arrived at the coast of the Mediterranean.
Marbella is at the crossroads of European Christianity, North African Islam, and Mediterranean allure. Marbella derives from the Arabic Marbal La or “shiny stone” because of the lighthouses the Moors built in the 10th century along the shores.
You’ll see influences of the Romans, Moors, the Renaissance, and even Salvador Dali at every turn. Contemporary villas and luxury resorts embrace modern influences, while older buildings embrace the Andalusian courtyards and tilework.
From pristine beaches and world-class golf courses to Michelin-starred restaurants and chic boutiques, Marbella caters to everyone’s dream vacation.
Ride in style from Seville to Marbella with a private driver. In order for your trip to go as smoothly as possible, follow these tips!
Spain participates in the tradition of the siesta, or a midday rest. Remember that siesta time may mean that shops are closed during the hottest part of the day, right after lunch. If there is a particular spot you want to see during this time, call ahead to confirm their opening hours. On the positive side, expect stores to be open later than what you might usually expect in your home country.
We don’t have to remind you that Spain is hot! Make sure your water bottle, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are in the car with you. Nothing makes for a travel delay quite like digging through all your packed luggage because you forgot something.
Traveling from Seville to Marbella offers a delightful journey through the heart of Andalusia, showcasing the region's captivating beauty and rich cultural heritage.
A car is definitely the way to travel through Andalusia. Don’t let heavy luggage get in your way on the bus. With everything Marbella has to offer, you’ll need outfits for the beach, the golf course, dinner out, and even hiking.
The drive from Seville to Marbella takes around 2.5 to 3 hours if you’re speeding to the coast. If you aren’t in a hurry, renting a car allows for flexibility and freedom to explore the Andalusian countryside at leisure.
A luxury holiday requires luxury travel. Arrive in style with a private driver and door-to-door service for luggage. Daytrip's drivers are locals, speak Spanish and English, and can give you local perspectives and insider information on the best beaches or nature trails. These professional drivers know the route like the back of their hand and will safely get you to the coast.
Perhaps even better than the world-class service, Daytrip makes it easy to stop for sightseeing along the way! Step back in time at the Archaeological Ensemble of Italica, or be wowed by the bridges of clifftop Ronda.
Buses provide a convenient and affordable option to cover the distance, with several daily departures from Seville's main bus station to Marbella. The Avanza Grupo offers a direct bus service with tickets costing €13-€27. The direct bus service typically takes around 3.5 hours, while buses with a transfer will be over 4 hours.
You just finished your drive from Seville to Marbella, and need a rest! Fortunately, some of the best things to do when you get to Marbella focus on relaxing. Sit back on the beach, do some shopping, or enjoy tapas. This upscale seaside town is the jewel of the Costa Del Sol.
Sun-seekers and beach enthusiasts will love Marbella’s pristine sand beaches along the Costa del Sol. Relax on the golden sands of one of Marbella’s countless beaches that cater to your every need. Playa de la Fontanilla is an urban beachfront that goes right up to the street. Some beaches are more remote and private, while others have watersports and areas for children to play. Your Daytrip driver may even be able to tell you their favorite hidden beaches.
The city's historic Old Town has narrow, winding cobblestone streets lined with fruit trees. Stroll through the picturesque Plaza de los Naranjos (Orange Square) and walk along Calle Carmen (Carmen Street) to sample the classic whitewashed walls of Andalusia.
Get a glimpse inside la Iglesia de la Encarnación (The Church of the Incarnation) to appreciate Andalusia’s Catholic heritage against the backsplash of Islamic architecture found in other areas of Old Town.
Marbella Castle is a 10th-century Moorish castle that offers glimpses into Marbella’s Muslim past and panoramic views of the sea.
While in Old Town, browse the artisan shops of boutique jewelry, paintings, and photography for that perfect, unique keepsake.
The Golden Mile on Puerto Banus has exclusive beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and luxury shopping brands. Admire the exclusive yachts in the marina and the sportscars as they speed past. You may even see a celebrity!
Seafood plays a major part in traditional Andalusian cuisine. Make sure pescaíto frito (fried fish) and estepos de sardinas (sardine skewers) make it onto your plate at one of the tapas bars. Gazpacho and Ajoblanco are popular cold soups to cool down with after a sunny day on the beach. For a taste of luxury, head to Puerto Banus for upscale dining and panoramic views of the marina.
The best times to visit Marbella for the beaches are during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild, and the crowds are smaller. Summers in Spain can be a bit intense, especially if you are sensitive to the heat and sun. Time your trip from Seville to Marbella with what suits you best!
Don’t be afraid to visit in the winter if you are seeking lower prices, fewer people, and an overall quieter experience. The average daily temperatures in November and December are 50-65°F (10-18°C) and the sun is less intense, but still shining. The beautiful Moorish and Mediterranean architecture is still there even if you don’t want to swim.

“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Dec 4, 2024“We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

Miguel gave us excellent service and we felt very safe with him. He could converse with my husband and they soon became friends! We certainly will not hesitate to use Daytrip or recommend our friends to Daytrip and Miguel.”

Dec 18, 2021“My family and I (4 total), traveling from the U.S to Portugal and Spain used Mydaytrips for a few different tours and transport needs. I will say, I was a bit worried, wondering what my back-up plan would be if for some reason my ride never showed up. Thankfully that did not happen, Mydaytrip drivers showed up on time and all were very good. We used Mydaytrip for transportation from Lisbon to Albufeira, with a stop in Evora with Serafim. Serafim was waiting on time for us at our Hotel and was a wonderful driver. We then used Mydaytrip for the ride from Albufeira to Seville, no stops this time. but Joao C. d. C, our driver was at the Hotel (complicated hotel to find...) on time and drove us the couple hours to Seville. Finally we used Mydaytrip for transport from Seville to Marbella Spain, with a stop at Ronda. Ricardo C was our driver and tour guide for this one. Ricardo was fantastic, wonderful person, great driver, warm personality, very professional. All of the drivers spoke pretty good English, Ricardo very good. I much preferred this way of travelling in Portugal and Spain, rather than bus, airplane or train. I would highly recommend Mydaytrips based on my families wonderful experience with this firm and their drivers.”
