Location
The Colegio Albergue is situated at just a 5 minute walk from the old quarter of Marbella, characterized by small, picturesque streets, white–washed buildings, colorful flowers and lively plazas. This unique, convenient location allows the students to partake in Marbella's vibrant summer life: they can shop, chat, enjoy a refreshment on any number of sunny terraces, or simply stroll and enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
The camp's proximity to the center of town makes it the perfect setting for our older, independent students. Participants aged 15 to 18 complete a solid program of 4 language lessons per day, plus sports, workshops and excursions. We also permit variable curfew times and the option of leaving campus with groups of friends for the most mature students. Our Colegio Albergue campers become integrated into the city's daily rhythm and goings–on, with the added benefit of being only 10 minutes away from the beach at any given moment!
FacilitiesThe Marbella Albergue Camp is a large, fenced–in complex set in a peaceful neighborhood. Our counselors are on–call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure the campers' comfort and safety. The main building includes a 24–hour reception desk, vending machines, a public phone, a dining room, a TV / Video room, and 3 different conference rooms that fit either 20, 30 or 60 people. Outside, students enjoy a large swimming pool, 3 multipurpose sports fields, tennis courts, expansive green gardens and an open–air terrace.

Students live in a residence hall with bedrooms dispersed throughout the various floors. There are doubles, triples, quads and 6 person rooms. some of the doubles feature private bathrooms and the rest use shared restrooms located in the hallways.
All residential students are on full board, 7 Days a week. The meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. On days that the students leave the premises to participate in special activities or trips, they will be provided a lunch and snack bag.
Activities & Excursions
At the Marbella Albergue Camp, we pack the summer with lots of fun and exciting activities, scheduled after language classes in the afternoon and evenings. Directors always keep in mind the camp's proximity to the beach so that campers can escape the summer heat and enjoy Marbella's natural surroundings.
Students additionally get to know Andalusia through full and half–day excursions every week, discovering the heart of Roman and Muslim Spain and the birthplace of flamenco. Trips may include visits to the Nerja Caves, Sevilla, an insider's tour of Marbella, Mijas, Granada, and the Sierra de las Nieves.
