Best Ways to Get from Beauvais to Newport Bay Club: Every Transfer Option Compared (2026 Guide)
When you arrive at Beauvais-Tillé, go out through the one arrivals hall and then realise that the castle you had in mind isn't there at all. It isn't. The Newport Bay Club is located on the opposite side of the Île-de-France and Beauvais is the only airport in the Paris area that was never designed with Disney day-trippers in mind. Allow for about 110 to 125 km, and depending on the route you choose, the journey will take between one hour thirty and well over three hours door to door.
The guide is aimed at people who have booked a cheap ticket with Ryanair to Beauvais and are now trying to work out how to get to their hotel, which is of the New England style and situated on Lake Disney, without wasting half a day on the journey. While booking a private transfer in advance gets rid of most of the uncertainty, it's still worthwhile understanding the other options first.
Quick Answer: The Best Way from Beauvais to Newport Bay Club
There is no direct train or bus service connecting Beauvais Airport with Disneyland Paris, meaning that all public transport options require at least one change in central Paris. If you take a private transfer, which costs €€€ per vehicle, this will be the quickest and least stressful method, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours from door to door. Although the combination of shuttle bus and RER is the cheapest (€), it can take longer than three hours if you are travelling with luggage.
| Distance | Fastest option | Cheapest option | Most comfortable |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~110–125 km | Private transfer / taxi | Shuttle bus + RER A | Private transfer |
Understanding the Beauvais → Newport Bay Club Route
Beauvais-Tillé is located north-west of Paris in the department of Oise, and Newport Bay Club is in Coupvray, east of the city and right on the edge of Lake Disney within the Disneyland Paris resort. That means you are travelling diagonally across the whole Paris metropolitan area — it's not the kind of short flight you'd have from Orly or CDG.
If taking the road, drivers usually go south on the N1 towards Paris, round the city via the A16 or the A104 "Francilienne" bypass to avoid the Périphérique, and then take the A4 motorway east towards Marne-la-Vallée, leaving it at Coupvray and following the signs provided by Disney in the last part of the journey. When the driver chooses the more scenic route on the N-road, Chantilly and Senlis will be passed early on, though most transfer drivers prefer to stick to the motorway for speed.
There is neither a direct rail connection either. If you want to take this route by train you have to use a shuttle or taxi into Beauvais town, take a regional train to Paris and then change onto the RER A heading towards Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy — thus having three separate journeys before you even get to the hotel.
Your Transfer Options, One by One
Here comfort and price go in opposite directions: the more you spend, the fewer hands you will have to use in carrying your own suitcases.
Private Transfer
Verdict: it is the option designed specifically for this route.
A private car that has been booked in advance will meet you in the terminal, will check your flight, and take you directly to the dedicated drop-off point of the Newport Bay Club, passing right by the signs for Disney on the last approach to the airport. There is no transfer in Paris, no second vehicle, and no need to carry your luggage down a metro staircase.
— Duration: about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic
- Price level: €€€, but priced per vehicle, not per person — for a family of four it often lands close to what train tickets alone would cost per head
- Luggage: full boot space, no restrictions
Advantages include the door-to-door service, the price being agreed in advance, and having a single vehicle for the entire group.
Cons: It costs more than public transport when undertaken by a single traveller; it is necessary to book in advance for peak dates.
Taxi
Verdict: it does work, but you're being charged the rates that apply to Paris area metered service for a journey which is in fact quite long.
Outside Terminal 1 at Beauvais, taxis are waiting—since the airport has only one terminal there is no possibility of confusion about where the taxis are. A taxi takes the same route as a private transfer, the A16/A104/A4 route, but unlike the private transfer it has no predetermined price, and the taxis at Beauvais are not always prepared for a journey of more than 110 km to Seine-et-Marne.
- The duration: approximately 1.5 to 2 hours
- Price level: €€€, metered — can run higher than a pre-booked transfer for the same distance
- Luggage: fine for two to three cases, tight for a full family load
Pros: it is available upon arrival without the need to book and the transfer is quick.
Drawbacks include not having a definite price until you receive the bill, and there being fewer drivers who are willing to give a full quote for the entire Coupvray route in advance.
Shuttle Bus + RER A
The verdict is that it is possible provided that you travel lightly and are willing to make three changes.
The shuttle service from Beauvais airport goes to Paris Porte Maillot once every two hours and the journey takes about one hour and fifteen minutes. From Porte Maillot you can take the Paris Métro or the RER C into central Paris and then go on the RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy — the station around which Disneyland Paris was constructed. From Chessy it's a short walk or you can use the resort's own shuttle to reach the reception of the Newport Bay Club.
- Time: 2.5 to 3 or more hours in total, according to the length of the connection waits
- Price level: €, by far the cheapest way to make this journey
- Luggage: manageable with a backpack; genuinely hard work with two large suitcases and small kids, especially on the Métro stairs at Porte Maillot
Pros: it is by a large margin the cheapest option, and the buses operate on a regular schedule.
Cons: the three legs, there is no guarantee of connection times, and suitcases do become a serious problem on the Métro.
Train via Beauvais Town + Paris
The verdict is that it is a technical possibility but is rarely worthwhile.
Rather than taking the airport shuttle, you can taxi directly to Beauvais's own train station and then take a regional TER train to Paris Gare du Nord, followed by the RER B and then the RER A across the city. This option is more scenic since it bypasses the shuttle bus schedule, but it involves an additional taxi journey at the beginning and does not result in any real time savings.
- Time: around 3 hours or more
- Price level: €, similar to the shuttle-bus route once you add the local taxi
- Luggage: same Métro/RER stair problem as above
Pros: it has more frequent departures than the airport shuttle in certain time slots.
Cons: There is an additional transfer stage with no actual time saved; it is easy to make a mistake regarding the connections when the arrival time is tight.

Side-by-Side Comparison
| Option | Door-to-door time | Price level | Luggage | Transfers needed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | 1.5 to 2 hours | €€€ | Easy | 0 | Families, groups, and tired arrivals |
| Taxi | 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours | expensive | acceptable | 0 | For single travellers who want speed and don't wish to book |
| Shuttle bus and RER A | 2.5 to 3 hours or more | € | Difficult when carrying cases | 3 | Suitable for budget solo and pair travellers |
| Train via Beauvais town | 3+ hrs | € | Hard with cases | 3–4 | Rail enthusiasts, off-peak flexibility |
Which of the options is right for you?
For families with small children: taking the shuttle bus to the RER requires three changes and involves having to take the stroller and carry the cases as well — something that can be arranged in a single trip with a child seat included.
When four or more people are travelling, the private transfer can be divided among four people and this usually proves to be cheaper than paying for four individual € train tickets, since it provides each person with their own car and their own set of luggage rules.
As for people on a tight budget: the combination of the shuttle bus and the RER is all right provided that you're carrying only a backpack and can tolerate the waiting time between transfers.
For those visiting Paris for the first time, having to deal with three different kinds of transport—a shuttle, the Métro and the RER—after an international flight and doing so when you're not sleeping is a considerable amount of effort; having a driver waiting for you at arrival eliminates that whole aspect of having to make the decisions.
For arrivals in the late night or early morning, Beauvais deals with a large number of low-cost flights during off-peak times, so the airport shuttle bus does not operate on all schedules—be sure to check the timings carefully or arrange a transfer that matches your flight.
For people who have a lot of luggage: this is the main consideration on this route. Those checking two large suitcases each should seriously consider the Porte Maillot stairs and the changes involved in using the RER platform before deciding to travel by public transport.
The Case for Booking a Private Transfer with Top Paris Transfer
For four people, dividing the cost of one €€€ private transfer among the four of you usually ends up being about the same as — or even cheaper than — buying four individual € shuttle-and-train tickets, and you won't have to deal with three connections while having the children with you. That is actually the main point about this route: because of the distance between Beauvais and Disneyland Paris, travelling by public transport over multiple journeys is genuinely tiring, not just expensive.
The driver will monitor your arrival at Beauvais, meaning that if your Ryanair flight is delayed you won't end up stranded while waiting for a shuttle bus which has already departed. You will be met inside the one-terminal building—there's no doubt about which exit to go to—and then taken straight to the drop-off spot that belongs to the Newport Bay Club, right along the road that gives access to the resort, past the parking signs. Unlike the case with a taxi charged by the mile on a journey of over 110 km, the price is settled before you land. Child seats and ample space for luggage are included as standard, and assistance is available at any time if your flight is changed.
A family who were coming in for the October half term landed at Beauvais just after six in the evening, bringing with them two young children and four suitcases. Instead of taking the last shuttle bus of the day and then making a late connection with the RER, they had booked in advance; their driver was there with a name board and they were checking in at the Newport Bay Club at its nautical-themed lobby by about eight in the evening.

When to Travel: Traffic & Timing on This Route
The early morning journeys out of Beauvais generally proceed most quickly — the A4 heading towards Marne-la-Vallée is fairly clear before 8 a.m. During mid-morning and the early afternoon, arrivals usually meet with steady but manageable traffic on the A104 bypass. The most difficult time is during the early evening on weekdays, since the commuter traffic joining up with the A4 near the Marne-la-Vallée junction can cause a significant delay on the final section, exactly when you are nearest to the hotel.
During the Halloween period at Disneyland Paris — from September until early November — and also during the Christmas season, demand for all transfer options on this route rises sharply; as a result, the shuttle buses become full and private transfer availability becomes more difficult to secure. It is all the more important to book in advance during these periods than at other times of the year.
What This Route Really Costs (Including the Costs Nobody Mentions)
To work out the actual cost you have to consider the price per person rather than the price per vehicle. Since a € shuttle-bus-and-train ticket is charged on a per-traveller basis, a family of four has to pay the fare four times. In contrast, a €€€ private transfer is charged on a per-vehicle basis — for four people this often greatly reduces the gap, or even reverses it in favour of the private transfer.
On this particular route the hidden expenses consist of having to pay a separate ticket for each section of the public transport trip (for the airport shuttle, the Métro or RER C, and then the RER A), together with the real cost incurred if your flight arrives late and the next shuttle bus has already left. Taxis introduce uncertainty instead of charging a set hidden fee — the fare for a distance of over 110 km, for example, can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions that day. For an average family of four, after having included each leg of the journey and each ticket, the difference between the 'cheapest' option and taking a private transfer is often smaller than it at first seems.
Mistakes to Avoid on the Beauvais → Newport Bay Club Journey
If there is a direct train. There isn't — all routes by rail require at least two changes in Paris, and considering it as a simple journey from CDG to Disney seriously underestimates the reality of the situation.
Misjudging the shuttle bus timetable. The shuttle service from Beauvais Airport to Porte Maillot does not operate continuously, so if you land late at night or very early in the morning you may have to wait a long time before the next bus departs.
When booking a taxi it is necessary to confirm the fare first. Not all the taxi drivers in Beauvais will give a happy quote for a journey of over 110 km to Seine-et-Marne — so agree the price or book in advance before getting into the taxi.
To take the Métro at Porte Maillot with full suitcases. The stairs linking the shuttle bus stop with the Métro platform are easy to manage if you are carrying only a daypack but become quite difficult when each person has two large cases.
If you don't take into account the increased demand during the Halloween and Christmas seasons, both the amount of shuttle service available and the number of private transfers decrease in these periods — so you should book earlier than you would in a less busy month.
Do not walk straight into the parks as soon as you arrive since the journey to the park will take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the option you select—instead, allow some time so that you can get to the hotel and check in.
FAQ
Is there a direct train available from Beauvais Airport to the Newport Bay Club?
No, there is no rail line that runs directly between the two. All routes that involve trains require a change in Paris—usually at Gare du Nord or Porte Maillot—before transferring to the RER A heading towards Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, which is the station nearest to the hotel.
What is the fare for a taxi from Beauvais Airport to the Newport Bay Club?
Since taxis have meters, the cost will vary according to traffic conditions and the time of day rather than being based on a set rate. Given that it is a long journey across the city, a taxi generally falls into the same expensive price range as a private transfer, although it doesn't offer the same level of price certainty at the start.
What is the time taken to get from Beauvais Airport to Newport Bay Club?
If you take the road and use a private transfer or a taxi, allow about 1.5 to 2 hours; by public transport, which involves the airport shuttle, a connection in Paris and the RER A, the journey usually takes no more than 2.5 hours but can exceed three hours when waiting times are included.
Is it possible to take the shuttle bus from Beauvais Airport directly to Disneyland Paris?
Not at all—the airport shuttle goes only as far as central Paris, ending at Porte Maillot; after that you will still need at least one more change in order to get to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy and the hotel.
Is a private transfer worth it for a family arriving at Beauvais?
For most families, yes. It's priced per vehicle rather than per person, includes child seats, and avoids three separate transport legs with luggage — on a route this long, that convenience carries real weight, not just comfort.
Where do taxis wait at Beauvais Airport?
Beauvais-Tillé has a single terminal, so the taxi rank sits directly outside arrivals — there's no need to navigate between terminal buildings as you might at a larger airport.
Does Newport Bay Club have its own shuttle from the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy train station?
Yes — once you reach Chessy station by RER A, Disneyland Paris runs its own free shuttle service to Newport Bay Club, or it's a walkable distance around Lake Disney for those travelling light.
Why is Beauvais further from Disneyland Paris than CDG or Orly?
Beauvais-Tillé was built to serve Paris's low-cost carrier market and sits north-west of the city in Oise, while Disneyland Paris is east of Paris in Seine-et-Marne — putting Beauvais on the opposite side of the agglomeration from the resort, unlike CDG or Orly.
