Use this EUFerry guide to plan the Motril to Melilla Ferry Route Guide crossing, with port, operator and practical travel information before you check live sailings and fares.
Baleària lists a Motril–Melilla ferry from the Granada coast to Melilla. The crossing is another departure option for travellers comparing southern Spain’s ferry ports.
Select Melilla rather than Nador, which is a separate destination in the Motril ferry network.
Check the dated sailing calendar before committing to a particular outward or return day.
Allow time for the transfer to Motril’s passenger terminal when approaching from Granada or elsewhere inland.
Plan the two port connections as part of the same itinerary. For Motril to Melilla, compare where the ferry leaves and where it arrives, then check your transfer or driving time on each side. If the return journey uses a different mainland or island port, allow for that change when arranging accommodation and onward travel.
Travelling the other way? Read the Melilla to Motril return guide for departure and onward-travel planning.
