Why learn Spanish in Costa Adeje, Tenerife?
Tenerife is a favorite destination for our students. Situated off the western coast of Africa, the island enjoys year-round sunshine and temperatures around 30°C, making it an easy choice for those seeking a warm getaway.
The coastal resort of Adeje has been a popular tourist spot for over 60 years, transforming from a quiet fishing village into a vibrant hub filled with amenities. By learning Spanish in Costa Adeje, you can immerse yourself in the language while enjoying a classic beach holiday and exploring all the area has to offer.
For a relaxing escape, bask in the sun on one of the many beaches or savor delicious international cuisine at the beachfront bars and restaurants. If you prefer more active pursuits, swim in the calm waters of Playa Fañabé, try water-skiing at Playa de las Americas, or hike in the foothills of Mount Teide for stunning views of southern Tenerife. No matter your interests, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained!
Tenerife, the largest of the eight Canary Islands, features rugged landscapes shaped by volcanic activity, resulting in breathtaking natural scenery. Named after Mount Teide, the "white mountain" at its center, the island has been inhabited since around the 3rd century BC, giving it a rich history. You can explore the heritage of the indigenous islanders at the Museo Guanche in Santa Cruz, which is easily accessible from Costa Adeje by bus.
While Tenerife served as an important stop for ships heading to the Americas, it gained widespread recognition thanks to scientist Alexander von Humboldt, who climbed Mount Teide in 1799 and praised the island's beauty. His endorsement attracted visitors eager to enjoy the warm weather, clean air, and expansive sandy beaches.
Costa Adeje, located on the southwest coast, is a lively town that seamlessly connects with its neighboring resorts, Los Cristianos and Playa Paraiso. The area is filled with exciting restaurants, vibrant bars, and unique shops. However, it’s the luxury aspect that makes Costa Adeje particularly appealing. Its upscale restaurants attract diners from around the globe, and the resort boasts more five-star hotels than any other location in Europe. If you seek sophistication, this is the place to be.
Between your Spanish lessons, you can enjoy a relaxing round of golf, rent a boat to explore the coastal coves, or embark on a whale-watching tour to see marine giants up close. You can even take a ferry to the nearby island of La Gomera, known for its stunning landscapes and charming villages.

What courses are available in 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.

Tenerife - Costa Adeje: Student reviews & feedback
Intensive
The school is extremely well run/administrated and my teacher Andrea was brilliant - engaging, energetic, humorous and clear in her explanations . The provision of afternoon conversational sessions was a bonus and I went to one of these run by Raquel who was also excellent.

I attended the class for 4 weeks and liked the way our teacher Rebeca teached us very much.

Semi Private lessons
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.
