Why learn Spanish in Palma de Mallorca?
A Spanish course in Palma de Mallorca offers an authentic taste of the Balearic Islands. Palma is a stunning city that has successfully avoided the pitfalls of typical tourist traps. A leisurely stroll through the old town reveals a rich tapestry of architectural styles, allowing visitors to appreciate Palma's history, which spans over a thousand years. Many historic buildings have been beautifully restored and now host cafés, hotels, and restaurants, breathing new life into the area.
The 13th-century cathedral stands as the crown jewel of Palma. This magnificent example of Gothic architecture is hard to miss, with its impressive 44-metre nave dominating the skyline. Just a short walk away lies the promenade, where you can easily spend an hour or two relaxing at a seaside café, watching yachts sail in and out of the harbour.
In recent years, Palma has emerged as a stylish city break destination, boasting a variety of upscale boutiques alongside traditional shops. If shopping isn’t your preference, consider visiting one of the many museums—there are at least ten within a ten-minute walk from the school—or admire a Picasso at Es Baluard, Palma’s contemporary art museum.
For those who enjoy the beach, Palma Bay is home to six beautiful beaches. Ca’n Pere Antoni is the main beach and the closest to the language school, just a 15-20 minute walk away.
If you prefer to stay active during your holiday, consider renting a bike to explore the extensive promenade. After a day of fresh air and adventure, why not unwind with a cocktail or aperitif at one of the city’s many rooftop bars?

Available courses
Our school in Palma de Mallorca opened its doors in 2024 but it is part of a larger organisation that was established in 2008, meaning the learning centre offers both a fresh interior and a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to teaching Spanish as a foreign language!
In this location group lessons are available between the beginning of March and the end of November, with one-to-one tuition being offered exclusively at other times of year. The most popular programme is the Intensive course of 20 lessons per week. Lessons are usually held 09:30-13:05 Monday to Friday, ensuring course participants benefit from lots of free time to get out and about and flex their newly improved language skills! The maximum class size is just 12 students, with the average class size being 6 students (minimum 3).

Our school adopts the immensely successful total immersion teaching technique, ensuring that only Spanish is spoken in the classroom. Lessons are conducted by at least two different native-speaking teachers each day so you will benefit from hearing different accents, intonation and styles. Classes are dynamic and engaging, with the focus being on effective communication. For a well-rounded knowledge of the language, due attention is also given to grammar, reading and writing, guaranteeing a thorough understanding.
If you will be in Palma de Mallorca during the quieter time of year (November to March) we will be able to arrange private tuition for you. Not only will you benefit from the great teaching style of our experienced team, but you’ll also have the option to tailor the focus of your lessons to suit your own goals. Private lessons can also be arranged through the year, either in addition to group lessons or as an alternative.
Please be advised that course materials are not included in the cost of the programme. The amount for your first book will be added to your invoice.

Accommodation options in Palma de Mallorca
Available accommodation
A stay with a local host family adds culture and depth to a linguistic programme abroad. Being welcomed into a local household really means that students can put their Spanish language skills into practise, whether round the dinner table, while discussing plans for the weekend, or simply talking about your preferences when it comes to food. You might stay with a single person, a couple, or a family with children (young or old!) living at home! Regardless of the make-up of the household, all host families are very carefully selected and offer clean and comfortable accommodation. Your meal plan will include breakfast and dinner each day - if you have any dietary requirements please be sure to mention these at the time of booking.
You will have your own bedroom (shared rooms available for friends and family travelling together), and in most cases you will share the bathroom with the family members. It is possible to request a private bathroom at extra cost (subject to availability). Homestay homes are usually located 20-30 minutes from the school, either on foot or by public transport. If it is necessary to take a bus the home will always be close to local public transport links. Bed linen and bath towels are provided, although you should pack your own beach towel.
For added comfort you might like to choose ‘host family plus’ accommodation, which is generally a little closer to the school and offers more modern homes. Whether you choose standard or plus accommodation, you will be sure of the same warm welcome!
As standard, accommodation is arranged from the Sunday before the course begins to the Saturday after the course finishes.
