Marbella Design Academy is located in Monda, a small Spanish village, but its proximity to Marbella allow students to conveniently live in either. Please find a few recommendations below in both Marbella and Monda.
Marbella
Marbella is a beautiful coastal town with a lot going on. It is known for its jet-set life style, restaurants and nightlife, and as a result accommodation here is more expensive than what can be found in Monda. It is situated approx. 15km from Marbella Design Academy, and due to the limited public transport we would therefore recommend that only students who wish to rent/buy a car choose to live in Marbella.
Hostels in Marbella
For students who wish to live in Marbella we can recommend the following hostels for your first week or two, until you find more permanent accommodation.

Monda is a typical, small Spanish white village located approx. 15km from Marbella. Monda has several restaurants and cozy squares, were student meets in the afternoons. Monda is situated in the middle of the gorgeous Spanish countryside surrounded by olive groves and orange tree plantations. Accommodation here is considerably cheaper than in Marbella, and additionally benefits from being within walking distance from the academy.
