Marbella villa overlooking the Costa del Sol

Discover Marbella

Marbella — where our academy has lived since 2006.

27 kilometres of Costa del Sol coastline, a Sierra Blanca micro-climate, and Andalusia's most iconic cities within easy reach. Here's what to expect when you come study with us.

The city

Luxury, culture and natural beauty on Spain's southern coast.

Nestled on the southern coast of Spain's Costa del Sol, Marbella captivates with a blend of luxury, culture and natural beauty. In the Andalusia region, the city stretches across 27 kilometres of sun-kissed beaches, palm-fringed promenades, opulent villas, upscale hotels, chic boutiques, vibrant nightclubs and world-class golf courses.

Marbella enjoys a unique micro-climate, courtesy of the Sierra Blanca mountain range. These majestic peaks shield the city from harsh winds and temper the summer heat, creating an idyllic environment where winters are mild and summers are comfortably warm — one of the reasons students come here to study year-round.
