Montañita

Learn Spanish on the stunning beaches of Montañita! Our school’s poolside cabañas are the perfect place to relax after your Spanish lessons. A Spanish course in Montañita offers you much more than just the chance to study Spanish though. This unspoilt paradise is renowned for its superb surf, and the enticing Pacific waters are also ideal for scuba diving, snorkelling and many other water sports. At our school, you can combine your Spanish studies with classes in surfing, Salsa, yoga and other exciting activities!

Once the sun sets, enjoy excellent seafood dishes in a beachside restaurant, or dance the night away in one of Montañita’s many bars! Beyond the beaches lies miles of lush forest, including Machalilla National Park, home to incredibly rare, indigenous wildlife. Our Spanish school also arranges trips to the remarkable Galápagos Islands, where you can glimpse giant tortoises and share the beach with sea lions and penguins!

Courses in Montañita

Available courses

    One of the great advantages of learning Spanish at our Montañita school is the small class sizes. The Standard course (20 lessons per week) has a maximum class size of only five students. In such small classes, you’ll receive plenty of attention from your highly-skilled teachers, so your Spanish will quickly improve! If you’d like to learn at an even quicker pace, Private Lessons are available too.

    For both beginners and experienced surfers, Montañita is one of the best surfing locations in South America! It offers reliable waves and a real surfing culture. Our school’s Spanish & Surf course comprises five 90-minute surf lessons with a professional instructor (plus board) per week, to be taken in conjunction with a Spanish language course.

    Other activity courses run by the school include kitesurfing, scuba diving, Salsa and yoga. Any of these programs can be combined with a Standard Course or individual tuition.

    Why not give something back to the local community as you learn Spanish in Montañita? Anybody can take a Volunteer Work program, helping in schools, clinics, nurseries or veterinary practices. If you’re a medical student or professional, you can gain experience in local hospitals after taking specialist Medical Spanish lessons in the morning.

      I enjoyed the course. I liked the system, the fact that the teachers were changing every week. Some teachers were better than the others but in general I liked it.

      I really loved the accommodation. It’s very green, comfortable, beautiful. The garden, the swimming pool, the cabanas, the hammocks were amazing. The stuff is very helpful.

      I truly enjoyed staying at Montanita cabanas and learning Spanish at Montanita school. I liked that the school organized lots of activities together what made us to become friends. I loved the experience!
