Why should you study
Spanish at the Instituto
de Idiomas Ibiza?
Experienced and
qualified teachers.
The Instituto de Idiomas Ibiza only employs teachers with a university degree and experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign laguage. We have the highest requirements and educational standards and all teachers undergo a professional and approved recruiting process.
Proven
methodology.
Our method, at all levels, is based on an integrative and communicative approach and allows a maximum of 8 students per class. The average is 2 to 6 students per class. This means that we teach throughout the entire course the four main language skills: speaking, listening, writing and reading. This way we make sure our students learn to speak, write and understand correctly. Cultural aspects will always be included.
Great facilities
and free use.
The completely air- conditioned and very luminous classrooms have video and audio equipment. All students have free internet and wi-fi access and the library contains a wide range of materials for Spanish language students like Spanish books and novels, course and workbooks, CDs and tapes for practicing listening, dictionaries, Spanish magazines as well as the daily press.
The Instituto de Idiomas Ibiza is located
in Ibiza town which is the capital of the
island of Ibiza. We also run a summer
school each year during the month of
august in lovely San Antonio on Ibiza’s
w
est coast.
location
The central location allows our students to experience the Mediterranean life in Ibiza
very closely and to start the day with an immersion in Spanish culture: the typical Spanish breakfast - café con leche with sweet pastry or the great tomato toast - in one of the many pleasant bars and cafés surrounding the school.
The bus station in order to get to the beaches of the island is right across the street. The neighbouring hidden squares and small alleys of the historic part of the city - Dalt Vila - as well as the historic port host many of the Ibicencan restaurants. These offer the rich traditional cuisine on different price levels: from very cheap to very expensive. But always worth the money.
Also when not in class or during a walk through the city all students are welcome to stop by at the Instituto and have a coffee and perhaps check their e-mail or meet other students. Our summer school in San Antonio is conveniently located near the vibrant town centre, the bay and the impressively beautiful beaches around this former fisherman’s village.
The island
Ibiza is the closest Balearic Island to Spain’s mainland. It is situated approximately 45 mls (72 km) in front of Denia and consists of approximately 355 square miles (571 km) of clear sedimentary rock. The 125 mls (201 km) of coastline offer a wonderful holiday for all budgets.
The island’s capital - Ibiza Town - was declared a Human Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The island itself is part of the “Islas Pitiusas (the pine islands)“, the two neighbouring islands of Ibiza and Formentera.
Beaches, villages, shopping, night life... you have it all here, in Ibiza. During the summer months, from April to October, you will experience a very Mediterranean atmosphere; however, during winter months, from November to March, you can enjoy the mild climate of this serene sunny environment.
If you like partying, you are sure to have a wonderful time. Ibiza is full of world-famous clubs. Ibiza is a special island able to offer something different to each visitor type allowing you to make Spanish speaking friends and meet people from all over the world. Enjoy the cultural diversity!
During your stay, we advise you to get information on the great variety offered either in a travel guide or simply discovering it on your own. If you do not have a guide, you may check the one we have at the school or ask to be sent one by e-mail.

pre
requisites
You can chose between a wide
variety of accommodation types
carefully selected by us.
Spanish host families in Ibiza Town as well as in San Antonio or other points of the island, shared apartments with other students or with Spaniards, private apartments as well as hotels or even an own villa in Cala Vadella. Your accommodation is very important to us in order to know you will feel comfortable in our language school and on the island of Ibiza. Ibiza is a small island, therefore, your place of accomodation will always be near the school.
Are you the independent type? Then the shared apartment could be the ideal option for you. Your flatmates will most probably come from different countries or backgrounds and may also be classmates from the school or other visitors on the island. You will share the apartment with 1 to 5 flatmates. The apartment is completely furnished and consists of single and double rooms, a common room with television, a common kitchen with washing machine and bathrooms are shared.
The common areas are being cleaned once a week. The rest is every flatmate’s responsibility and independency.
As our students come from many different countries, the shared apartment may turn out to be a unique experience that allows you to expand your intercultural horizon.
The Instituto de Idiomas Ibiza selects host families carefully and inspects them regularly. This accommodation type allows you a detailed insight into Spanish life style. Here you will experience directly how the Spaniards organize their daily lives.
All our host families are within a 1-15 minutes walking distance from the school. Host families may be found in many different constellations: families with father, mother and child, single mothers with children, couples without children, etc..
Therefore, it may be that this accommodation is a single household. The experience of the Spanish lifestyle remains the same.
Unless agreed differently, you will get a single room including breakfast. Linen will be provided to you and you can use the washing machine 1 x per week. A private bathroom and ironing service is usually not available, but maybe it can be agreed with the family. Talking to the family is exactly what makes the homestay experience particularly valuable!
Host families are suitable for those who are open to other cultures and are willing to learn about a different way of life. In Ibiza Town as well as in San Antonio the most typical way of living is in an apartment block.
Please ask us for a quote and we will be glad to recommend and make your reservation from our own selections of hotels and private apartments.
Ibiza and its great offer
of activities are ideal for
a great, successful and
unforgettable experience.
19
Our school offers free excursions for its students. These cultural activities are optional, but highly recommendable if you want to learn about ancient Ibicencan history and spend some time with the other students. Apart from excursions, we also organize afternoon films at the school and other different types of events.
The UNESCO has named Ibiza Town World Heritage.
Learn about Ibiza town and its history at our weekly museum visits, explore vibrant San Antonio with the information we give you and plan your excursions over the island with us. You will receive all necessary information for weekend trips or excursions, as, for example, a visit of the neighbouring island of Formentera at the school reception. The costs always depend on the excursion you choose.

En Ibiza, viví en un piso compartido, que fue facilitado por la escuela. El piso era muy cómodo y limpio. Me gustó mucho que el apartamento estaba en el centro de la ciudad y muy cerca de la escuela. Ademas, tuve ocasión de practicar español con los otros compañeros del piso. (Jacek, 26, Poland)
I am French and speak English and Italian.
After attending many schools, I really want to underline this as one of the best ones.
Many thanks to Irene and Daniel for creating a Spanish school in Ibiza. The perfect place in Europe to learn Spanish and have fun.
I did four hours per day for five weeks, without any problem. I’ve learnt a lot of very useful things and I already consider myself a young spanish speaker ;-).

The directors and the team of teachers with their open and heartful way understand how to create a good atmosphere for learning. The great mix of nationalities in small groups and the professional teachers from different Spanish speaking regions and countries, the communicative approach and the regular progress tests guarantee succesful learning and support the social contact among students. The white island with its magic places contributes to this. Learning Spanish or improving your knowledge at the Instituto de Idiomas en Ibiza – a unique combination.
(Manuela, 46, Switzerland)
I had a wonderful experience with Instituto de Idiomas Ibiza. The staff and teachers went above and beyond the call of duty, both to advance my understanding of the Spanish language and to help me get situated on the island. All in all, a fabulous immersion experience in a truly gorgeous European locale.
(Yuriy, 26, United States) Mis dos semanas en el Instituto fueron unas
vacaciones increíbles. El ambiente en la escuela fue siempre muy agradable, familiar y alegre. Los profesores fueron muy profesionales, me ayudaron y me explicaron todas mis dudas sobre el idioma. En mi opinión eran clases muy interesantes. Después de unos días en el curso me sentía segura con el idioma y me puse a practicarlo con mis amigos del instituto en la isla Mágica. ¡Lo recomiendo sin dudas! (Debora, 35, Italia)
