Top Aviator Marbella: Boeing 737-800 Flight Simulator in Puerto Banús

Flight Simulator Marbella — Boeing 737-800 at Top Aviator, Puerto Banús

Top Aviator is the Costa del Sol’s only authentic Boeing 737-800 flight simulator experience, located in the heart of Puerto Banús marina, directly opposite El Corte Inglés in Marina Banús. Operating as part of the global Flight Experience network — the world’s number one commercial flight simulator experience brand — Top Aviator is the only Boeing-endorsed flight simulator on the southern coast of Spain, and one of the most consistently reviewed aviation experiences in the country.

The simulator is open to everyone from young children through to professional airline pilots, with three distinct experience tiers tailored to different ages, abilities, and ambitions. Instructors are professional pilots who tailor every session to the participant’s level, making this equally suitable for a family looking for a memorable holiday activity, a nervous flyer wanting to understand aircraft in a safe environment, and an aspiring airline pilot preparing for a type rating assessment.

The Boeing 737-800 Simulator

The simulator is a full-scale Boeing 737-800 cockpit equipped with accurate and fully functional aircraft controls, instrumentation, and systems — identical in layout and response to the real aircraft. The 180° panoramic visual display delivers stunning high-definition scenery across over 24,000 airports worldwide, with fully configurable weather, time of day, and visibility conditions. Surround sound and vibration systems complete the immersion, making this one of the most convincing fixed-base 737 experiences available to the public anywhere in Europe.

The simulator has been upgraded to incorporate the latest Airtech 500 software, with unrivalled visuals, enhanced HD sound, and control loading that physically communicates the dynamic forces of flight through the yoke as the aircraft manoeuvres. The system is consistent with EASA FNPT II standards, giving it genuine credibility for professional training use.

Session Options

Three experience tiers are available, structured to suit different ages and levels:

Adventure Flights are designed for children up to 12 years old. Sessions run 15 minutes for €40 or 30 minutes for €70, placing young pilots in a fully enclosed cockpit to experience takeoff, flight, and landing in a modern jet simulator. Instructor-led throughout, the Adventure Flight is one of the most original children’s activities available anywhere on the Costa del Sol.

Panoramic Flights are the main leisure experience for adults and older teenagers. Operating as First Officer alongside the instructor, participants fly takeoff, cruise, and landing procedures on a route of their choice. Sessions are priced in line with the Ultimate Flight tier below.

Ultimate Flights put you in the Captain’s seat in full command. With the full briefing, pre-flight checks, engine start, taxi, takeoff, and landing all yours to manage with instructor support, the Ultimate Flight is the complete airline captain experience. These sessions are described by reviewers as so realistic that “you will feel the passengers’ breath on the back of your neck.”

All sessions include gift voucher options, making Top Aviator one of the most popular gift experiences in Marbella for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions.

Professional Training

Top Aviator also welcomes qualified pilots for professional sessions including OPC/LPC recurrent training refreshers, pre-assessment practice, and general currency flying. The EASA FNPT II-consistent simulator provides a credible training environment for pilots wishing to practise specific procedures, approaches, or emergency scenarios between formal training events.
