The well-known youth residence is situated in the high part of the traditional Andalusian city of Marbella, considered one of the most popular and well-loved Mediterranean resorts in Europe. Here, the native Spanish population welcomes a large number of multi-cultural visitors every summer. Visitors and natives mix and can’t help falling in love with the semi-tropical weather, the relaxing atmosphere, the easy pace of living, the fabulous shops and of course, the beach! Located a mere 5 minute walk from our youth residence, the traditional quarter features small white streets with buildings that conserve regional character accented by colorful flowers, potted plants and quaint plazas. Day and night, our students form a part of Marbella´s bright and lively life, where people are always enjoying this urban quarter, whether they are shopping, chatting, working, taking coffee in the sunny terraces or merely enjoying beautiful views of the Mediterranean. In addition to all of this, our conveniently located residence offers students the beach, only 10 minutes away!

Situated in a safe neighborhood and surrounded by a fence, our youth residence and Enforex counselors provide students with extra security and comfort 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The complex includes a ground floor where there is a 24-hour reception desk, snack and refreshment machines, telephone booth, dining room, TV and video room, one conference room with capacity for 20 people, one for 30 and another for 60 people. Outside there is a large swimming pool, 3 multi-use sports fields, tennis courts, big green gardens and an outdoor terrace.

Students will receive a total of 20 Spanish lessons per week divided into four lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Might there be a trip/special activity planned during a weekday, classes for that day will be given on the weekend. At the end of the program, and upon its successful completion, students will be given a certificate and a progress report.
