Tenerife - Costa Adeje

Tenerife is a perennial favourite amongst our students. Located off the western coast of Africa, the island enjoys year-round sunshine and temperatures that hover around 30° C, so it’s not hard to see why our students love it!

The coastal resort of Adeje has been a popular tourist destination for over 60 years and has thus developed from a quiet fishing village into a bustling resort packed with amenities. If you learn Spanish in Costa Adeje you’ll be able to combine your immersive language experience with a classic beach holiday and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

For a relaxing break, soak up the sun on one of the resort’s many beaches before enjoying delicious international dishes in the bars and restaurants lining the shore. More active students can swim in the calm waters of Playa Fañabé, water-ski off Playa de las Americas, or hike in the foothills of Mount Teide, where you’ll enjoy excellent views over southern Tenerife. Whatever you do, you won’t be bored here!

Tenerife, the largest of the eight Canary Islands, is a rugged land shaped by volcanic activity. As such, it boasts dramatic natural scenery. Supposedly named for Mount Teide, the “white mountain” dominating its centre, the island has been inhabited since around the 3rd century BC and thus has a long and rich history. Evidence of the indigenous islanders can be seen at the Museo Guanche in the northern town of Santa Cruz, which is easily accessible from Costa Adeje by bus.

Though it was an important waystation for ships travelling to the Americas, Tenerife was really ‘put on the map’ by scientist Alexander von Humboldt, who climbed Mount Teide in 1799 and widely publicised his thoughts on the island’s beauty. After this excellent endorsement, visitors began to flock to Tenerife to enjoy its warm weather, clean air, and wide, sandy beaches.

Costa Adeje, on the south-west coast, is a lively town that blends almost seamlessly with its sister resorts, Los Cristianos and Playa Paraiso. Adeje is packed with exciting eateries, vibrant bars, and interesting shops. It’s the luxury side, however, which makes Costa Adeje so sought-after. Its chic restaurants draw in diners from around the world, and the resort is home to more 5* hotels than anywhere else in Europe. If you’re looking for sophistication, this is the place to be.

Between your Spanish lessons you can play a relaxing game of golf, rent a boat and discover the coves around the coast, or experience marine giants up close on a whale-watching tour. You can even catch a ferry to the nearby island of La Gomera, which has more stunning scenery and lots of quaint villages.

Courses in Tenerife - Costa Adeje

Available courses

    The Intensive course of 20 group lessons per week is the most common course selected at this school. Classes take place between 09:30 and 12:45 every weekday. Groups are organised according to students’ starting ability level, which ensures that no one is left behind and that all receive appropriate tuition. Each class has a maximum of just 8 participants, allowing each pupil to benefit from highly personalised attention from the teacher.

    Please note: if you have no previous experience with Spanish, you will need to start your course on a specific date - contact us for available start dates for beginners.

    If you think you may need extra support with your studies, or if you want to cover specific Spanish topics, we recommend that you book private tuition. You can book 5 or 10 one-to-one lessons per week depending on how much progress you’d like to make during your stay. Since you’ll have the undivided attention of the teacher, you’ll receive bespoke tuition and get lots of language practice.

    On the first day of lessons you should arrive at the school at 09:15. You will have already submitted a level test prior to arrival; this is used to assess your starting language ability and place you in a group that’s most suitable for that level. This provides students with the best possible opportunity to improve their Spanish knowledge, regardless of their starting point. You will have a short oral assessment on your first day to verify the results of the written test.

    In the afternoons/evenings you’ll have the opportunity to take part in the school’s activity programme. At the end of your course you’ll receive a certificate of achievement, which shows the Spanish level you have reached during your stay.

      We liked working with our teacher BEA a lot, she was very efficient, well prepared and educationally perfect for what we needed. She adapted exactly to our level and challanged us so that we learned a lot. Also practising talking was one of our aims and she fulfilled our objectives. Her method of teaching was very professional and well suitable for us. We will return next year in November and intend to take lessons again and hope to get BEA as our teacher again.
