Learn Spanish in Tamarindo
Tamarindo, Costa Rica
A tropical paradise on the Pacific Ocean, Tamarindo is a cosy and welcoming town you won’t want to leave.
Palm trees sway all around Tamarindo. This welcoming Pacific Ocean town has become Costa Rica’s most loved beach destination. And it’s the beach that wows most of all, seemingly endless kilometres of sand fringed by surf breaks and tropical forest.
Time moves slowly in Tamarindo. This popular little beach town is where many visitors come to surf and sleep through the day. But to simply rest would mean missing out on some of Costa Rica’s finest nature. The town is situated inside a national park. Hikes and water adventures can take you in many directions. Volcanoes are easily visited on day trips. The scuba diving is superb and you’ll spot howler monkeys on a regular basis.
All this adds up to a destination that can always suit your mood. After your Spanish lessons you can hang out on the beach, learn to surf, or hit the bars. You could quickly escape into nature or search out the more local parts of town. The town’s restaurants are considered the country’s best and you’re spoilt for choice over where to dine. Then on days off you’re perfectly situated for exploring Costa Rica’s northern peninsula.

Learn moreOur Spanish school in Tamarindo
Linguaschools Tamarindo is tucked away in tropical gardens, just a few minutes walk from the town and the beach. The school itself is a new, custom-built facility, designed to accommodate a wide range of learners. There are classrooms of different sizes, plus a large top floor where students can relax between classes. It’s peaceful here, listening to the sound of the birds in the garden before jumping into the next class of the morning.
