English Club 50+ course in Malta

Accommodation

Accommodation is not included in the Club 50+ programme as standard but can be added to your tuition package. If you book accommodation with us, you will receive a free 2-way transfer service (see Travel section).

If you prefer to stay with fellow students, you can select the school’s on-site student residence. This option combines the comfort of hotel lodging with the social aspect of residential lodging, since only students of the school can book rooms here. Located in the same building as the language centre, you won’t need to travel far for your lessons! You’ll have a single or twin* bedroom with its own private bathroom; all rooms are air-conditioned and have a telephone, television, and Wi-Fi access. Rooms include a continental breakfast, which is served in the on-site café. Bed linens and towels are included and changed weekly; a laundry service is available for an additional fee. Please note that this type of lodging incurs a security deposit of €100, which must be paid in cash on arrival; this will be returned to you on departure providing your room is left in a suitable condition.

For more privacy and a higher standard of lodging, we can book a hotel room for you in one of two local establishments. The Salini Resort offers excellent value for money: its single and twin* rooms have private balconies overlooking the hotel’s gardens, en-suite bathrooms, and a seating area where you can complete your schoolwork or enjoy a drink made with the room’s tea- and coffee-making facilities. They also have a television, a small fridge, and a safety deposit box, as well as air-conditioning/heating and free Wi-Fi access. Superior sea-view rooms are available for an extra charge - these rooms are larger than the standard rooms and offer great views of the bay; you’ll also enjoy free extras including luxury soaps and bathrobes. A laundry service is available on-site for an additional fee. This hotel is located around a 20-minute walk from the language facility; it is served by a free daily shuttle service that will take you to and from the school.

Deluxe 4* hotel rooms are available at The George, which is just across the street from our English language school. These sumptuously decorated single and twin* rooms each have a private balcony, a television, and a mini-fridge, as well as a telephone, a safety deposit box, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Designer bathroom products, air-conditioning/heating, and free Wi-Fi access are included as standard. You can also take advantage of the hotel’s excellent room service. Laundry is available on-site for an additional fee.

*Twin rooms are only available to students travelling together.

Accommodation is available from the Sunday before the start of your course until the Saturday after your course finishes. Check-in and check-out times are usually very flexible.

Activities

The Club 50+ package includes a selection of social and cultural activities designed to complement your English tuition and give you the best possible experience in Malta. Possible activities may include:

- An orientation tour, including refreshments
- Group meals
- Walking tours of Valletta
- Visits to local attractions such as St John’s Cathedral and Malta’s Neolithic temples

Suitability

This programme is ideal for mature students wanting to study English with other international learners of a similar age. As a bilingual country, Malta offers unique cultural experiences as well as exposure to the English language. Tuition is suitable for students of any ability level, from complete beginner right up to advanced. You do not need to start your course on a specific date if you are a beginner; since this programme only runs at certain times of year, all available start dates are suitable for all students, regardless of their starting language level.

Please contact us if you are unsure if this programme would be suitable for you; we will be happy to advise you.

How to get there

Malta International Airport, which is around a 20-minute drive from St Julian’s, is easily accessible from many worldwide airports.

When booking accommodation with us, a 2-way transfer service is offered at this airport as standard. This means that a driver will be waiting for you when you land and will take you directly to your lodging. On your last day, you will be collected from your accommodation and taken back to the airport in time for your departing flight.

It is possible to arrange a transfer service on arrival and/or departure if you select to arrange your own lodging. In this case, the service incurs an additional fee.

You should arrange to arrive in Malta on the Sunday before the course starts and depart on the Saturday after the course finishes. We may be able to arrange extra nights on arrival and/or departure for you if needed.
