Marbella, the Costa del Sol's upmarket resort, is known for its whitewashed Old Town, the Puerto Banús marina and long beaches. With a calm, safe atmosphere, it is a popular choice for mature students and junior programs.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Marbella. Programs from school groups such as Enforex in Marbella and language schools in nearby Málaga are among the options.
In Marbella you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one level of Spanish usually takes 4-8 weeks, and to reach a level where you can communicate in daily life we recommend a 2-4 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the visa and travel health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Spain's missions in Turkey for a long-stay student visa (visado de estudios). The application requires proof of enrolment on an intensive program, proof of funds, private health insurance and documents such as a police clearance; after arriving in Spain you apply for a foreigner's identity card (TIE).
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Homestay is the most common option in Marbella; living with a Spanish family is ideal for getting to know the language and food culture up close.
Living costs in Marbella are among the highest in Spain, especially rent. Homestays and shared flats help balance the budget.
Buses serve Marbella, with frequent services to Málaga and the coastal towns.
Marbella has a warm Mediterranean climate, with very hot, dry summers and mild, sunny winters.
Fly from Turkey to Málaga Airport (AGP) and take a bus to Marbella in about 45-60 minutes.
Because Spain uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Marbella is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
You can decide with NGGlobal which school, course and type of accommodation suit you best. We follow the whole process for you, from application and visa to arrival.
