Teen Spanish Course, Benalmadena (13-17 years)

Benalmadena is a picturesque coastal town in Andalucia, southern Spain. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers, and is just 8km from Malaga International Airport. It is a popular location for Teen Spanish courses.

Still retaining much of its original charm and character, the town is small enough to provide a safe environment for younger students yet large enough to offer a range of restaurants, shops, a water park, outdoor cinema, incredible beaches and a sailing school at the large modern marina.

We offer Easter and Summer teen courses combining language classes with a full supervised programme of leisure and cultural activities.

  • Duration: 2-4+ weeks
  • Start dates: March – April;  June – August 2027
  • Cost: from £1,555 (2 weeks, summer course, all inclusive)

“What a wonderful trip!  As parents we have really appreciated your support and responsiveness throughout.  We are amazed by how much H. has packed into his time in Benalmadena. Aside from the organised elements, he has really benefited from the freedom he was given, and it’s evident that the school strikes a great balance between keeping the children busy and safe alongside encouraging them to be independent. H. loved his homestay family and they made him welcome and integrated him well. Thanks  for all of your efforts.”
