Marked with a dagger: nearest equivalent, not the same data allowance. Holafly has no fixed-data Spain packs. The 30-day product is unlimited. Tethering on that plan is 1 GB per day (official FAQ).

Guides

How much data to buy, how to install the eSIM, and how to reach us.

How a Spain eSIM works

Three steps from the plan to a QR code in your email.

  1. 01

    Buy online

    Choose your plan and pay by card on the secure checkout page. Prices include IVA.

  2. 02

    Scan the QR

    We email the eSIM as a QR code after the plan is issued. Add it on a connection you trust before you fly, or when you arrive.

  3. 03

    Land connected

    Switch on the eSIM data line in Spain. Leave it off until you want to use it.

Check your phone

Holiday rental owners and property managers

Ask us about offering an eSIM in the guest welcome pack.

If you look after holiday homes on the Costa del Sol or in the Axarquía, ask us about telling guests how to arrive with data. We will confirm what we can offer before anything is agreed.

eSIM vs roaming vs a local SIM card

How an eSIM, roaming and a physical SIM differ
eSIM vs roaming vs a local SIM card eSIM Roaming Physical SIM
Setup before you travel eSIMAdd the QR on Wi-Fi you trust before you fly, or when you arrive. RoamingYou use the plan you already have. Check the cost with your provider before you travel. Physical SIMYou cannot add the card until a shop hands it to you.
Your usual number and WhatsApp eSIMYour plastic SIM stays in the phone. WhatsApp stays on the number you already use. RoamingIt is your home line, so that number stays. Physical SIMYou usually take out your everyday SIM to fit the card.
A Spanish +34 number eSIMNo. The plan is data only. It does not include a +34 number for calls or texts. RoamingNo new Spanish number. You keep using your home network. Physical SIMThe plastic version of the same data idea. This page does not say the card includes a +34 number.
Who sets the price eSIMThe price is the one shown for that plan on this page. RoamingYour own provider. UK roaming charges vary by network and by the plan you already have. We do not publish those prices. Physical SIMThe shop that sells the card. We do not publish those prices.
Where you get it eSIMOn this page. We email the QR code after the plan is issued. RoamingFrom your home provider. There is nothing extra to collect. Physical SIMFrom an airport or high-street shop.

Visitors from the EU are often covered by roam-like-at-home rules, with fair-use limits set by their own operator. A fair-use cap is not a free trip, and nothing here quotes your home tariff.

Pick by days and gigabytes. The largest plan is not automatically the right one. Whether a hotspot is included is confirmed at purchase. Contact us on WhatsApp.

Setting up your eSIM at Málaga Airport

You can install the QR before you fly, or after you land. At home, on a connection you already trust, the profile sits on the phone and you switch the data line on when you land.

You can also set it up at Málaga Airport. Use Wi-Fi you choose yourself. We do not describe the airport’s own Wi-Fi, and we do not have a desk or a kiosk there.

The eSIM for the rest of the trip is the same Spain plan, not a separate airport pass. Install it, leave the new data line off until you want it, then switch it on. Your usual line can stay in the phone for calls. That is enough for a map or a message as you leave the terminal.

If the QR will not install, stop. Join a connection you trust and email us. Do not keep buying plans to force it. Refund details are confirmed at purchase. Contact us on WhatsApp. We are not publishing a refund policy on this page.

WhatsApp and maps

With the line on, maps, mail and browsers use the mobile connection.

WhatsApp keeps working on your existing number, because this eSIM does not replace that number.

Whether a hotspot or tethering is included is confirmed at purchase. Contact us on WhatsApp before you rely on sharing the connection.

On these plans, data stops when the allowance is used. You can top up the same eSIM. You do not need a new QR code. We do not quote a speed or say whether traffic is slowed. There is no unlimited plan.

Coverage on the Costa del Sol and across Spain

We do not name the mobile networks this plan uses, and we do not quote speeds or a coverage percentage. Ask us on WhatsApp before you rely on a named network.

The same plan covers Nerja, Torre del Mar, Málaga and Marbella, and the rest of Spain. It is not only for the airport. Hills, thick walls and underground car parks can weaken any mobile signal, including this one.

Buying before you travel, then connecting when you land, is one way to sort data out before the day starts. It can also avoid roaming charges some travellers see on the first afternoon, but only if your own provider would have charged you. Check that with them. This page cannot see your tariff.

Check your phone

An eSIM installs only on a phone that supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. Check the phone you will travel with. We do not publish a device list, because menus and models change.

iPhone

Open Settings and look for Mobile Data or Cellular. There should be a way to add an eSIM or a mobile plan. The label changes between iOS versions, so if you cannot see it, use the Settings search and type eSIM. If the option is missing, that iPhone may not support eSIM, or it may be locked to a carrier.

Android

Open Settings and look for Network and internet, Connections, or SIMs. Some phones show Add eSIM or Download a SIM. Makers use different menus, so search Settings for eSIM. If nothing appears, the phone may not support eSIM.

Carrier-unlocked

The phone must be carrier-unlocked. A handset sold locked to one network can refuse another provider’s eSIM even when the hardware supports it. If you are unsure, ask the company that sold you the phone or the network that locked it. We cannot unlock it for you.

eSIM for Nerja, the Axarquía and the Costa del Sol

If you arrive in Málaga and travel on to Nerja, Torrox or Frigiliana, plan for maps, messages and access to booking details before you leave. Check your phone’s compatibility and when the plan validity starts; installing an eSIM and activating its data service are not necessarily the same step.

Mobile coverage varies with location, building walls and network conditions. For a campo property, holiday rental or several devices, do not rely on sharing your phone’s connection without checking the plan’s hotspot terms first.
