LIFE AT LES ROCHES MARBELLA

Our campus is located in a residential area in the heart of Marbella’s Golden Mile, between the centre of Marbella and the world famous harbor of Puerto Banus. Surrounded by the sun, sea, beaches and mountains of Andalusia, you will experience one of the most dynamic and unique tourist locations in Spain and Europe. Marbella is a cosmopolitan city which offers the perfect environment for you to succeed academically, culturally and socially.

 

You will feel as if you are living in a modern hotel rather than in a large university campus. Students are housed in the school residence which offers magnificent accommodation with night time security services. You will probably be in a double room. It will have an en-suite bathroom, closets, and upon request, individual rooms, rooms with acclimatization and extra storage space are available. Wireless Internet and network connections are available on the main campus and residence. On-campus parking and covered garage options are also at your disposal. There are communal areas to meet and relax, and you can eat in any the three school restaurants or venture into any of the local restaurants.
