Malaga International Airport is just 45 Km. from Marbella. The roads to Marbella from the Airport are the MA-21 then the AP-7 towards Algiceras and Cadiz. As you approach Fuengirola, you can either continue on the AP-7 'Costa del Sol' toll motorway or follow the A-7 coastal road. The motorway costs 7.40 Euros in June, July, August and September but only 4.55 Euros the rest of the year. (Prices correct on 27/01/2016) The motorway is much faster, safer and more relaxing and is probably worth considering if you're trying to catch a plane and don't want any delays. The coastal road gives some nice views but is a little hair-raising at times.
