Almeria airport lies just 8km outside the city of Almeria. The majority of arrivals are heading to their hotels at popular destinations along the coast including Mojacar (80km), Roquetas de Mar (40km), Aguadulce (20km), and Almerimar (18km). Those on package deals will often have transport included in their holiday price. Whilst this is the most convenient option it’s worth checking out how many stops you can expect on the way to your hotel as you might decide to rent a car or book a direct transfer rather than taking the tour company’s coach transfer.
There is an airport bus which departs from outside the arrivals area. It runs every 40 minutes into the city centre from 7am to 10.30pm but since you are unlikely to be staying in Almeria city you will then have to get anther bus to your final destination. This service is less frequent at weekends. In addition, there are plenty local taxis outside the arrivals area though prices to some of the resorts are quite steep compared with arranging a pre-booked transfer before you travel.
Shuttlebus & Private Transfers

For additional comfort at a slightly higher price you can arrange a private transfer and have your driver waiting for you on arrival. Specialist transfer companies such as Shuttledirect will usually be able to cater for all group sizes and destinations are catered for.
