School location

The Marbella Alborán Camp is located on a beautiful estate. The campus covers over 9 acres of land and is surrounded by a thick pine forest creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment. It is only 5 miles from the center of Marbella and a short walk from the Hotel Don Carlos and the city’s general hospital. And our prestigious center is only a 15-minute walk from the beach.

This undisputed highlight of the sunny Costa del Sol is an exclusive Mediterranean resort town with some of the best beaches in Europe, and it has a lot more to offer beyond that as well. It has beautiful parks and gardens, top-notch golf courses which can be played at the highest levels, and a picturesque old quarter, or Casco Antiguo, which make Marbella a relaxing and stimulating place to learn Spanish as well as a fantastic place just to spend some time in the sun.

Home stays offer you a unique opportunity to experience Spanish or Latin American life while living in the home of a local Spanish speaking family. You'll speak Spanish all day long, out of necessity and fun and interest in the family life you see unfolding around you. Accommodation in a host family allows you to get the most out of your language course as it gives you a privileged view of daily life in another culture.

About home stay:

Your host "family" may be a family with parents and children or a single parent who takes in students because he or she enjoys the company. You wouldn't be the first to go out on the town together, or to keep in contact with your family after your return home.

You'll eat at local hours - usually later than what you may be accustomed to- and you'll eat local foods, although the family will take your preferences into account as much as possible.
You will be given your own house keys, so you can come and go as you please. You will also be able to receive phone calls at the family home.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

Your letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged 185 € when you register.
