Accommodation Options
To make the stay in Málaga comfortable and fully immersive, Debla also helps arrange accommodation:
-
Host Family
Stay with a local Spanish family in a private room (half-board or full-board available). This is the most immersive option to practise Spanish daily and experience real local life. Example weekly rates published by the school show typical pricing from around €275 per week for a single room with a host family.
-
Shared Apartment
Live in a furnished apartment with other students. You have your own room (single or double), and share the kitchen, bathroom and living areas. Weekly rates start around €248 for certain shared-apartment stays.
Both options are located close to the school — walking distance or very short commute — and include essentials like WiFi, utilities (electricity, water, gas) and basic furniture.
