Language immersion weekend - Mdina. Casa de Estar

Disconnect to reconnect with your English.
Escape to the stunning Cabo de Gata Natural Park to enjoy a weekend of transformative language immersion, designed for adults over 18 years of age.

The retreat

Dates: January 24, 25, 26.

This program is a collaboration between CampusPremier and John Batty, who jointly design, organize, accompany, and direct all weekend activities.

Improve your fluency naturally while enjoying nature, good company, and authentic experiences in a charming rural house.

Your main facilitator: John Batty.
The weekend is partly guided by John Batty, a highly qualified English teacher with over 30 years of experience.

John specializes in real communication, building confidence, and dynamic and meaningful learning.

His approach focuses on helping participants use English naturally and confidently.

The house and its hosts

The experience takes place in Mdina Casa Rural, an old country house carefully restored and located in the heart of Cabo de Gata Natural Park.

Its tranquility, cozy rooms, common areas, and terraces open to the landscape create a perfect environment to learn, rest, and connect.

Mdina is owned by the Batty Rodríguez family (all English speakers), who manage the house with a close, warm, and familiar style.

Their hospitality and respect for the natural environment add a special touch to the stay, making participants feel at home from the first moment.

A collaboration with Campus Premier

This immersion weekend is a joint initiative designed by Campus Premier and John Batty, combining methodology, experience, and creativity.

The Campus Premier team and John Batty design the program together and are responsible for mentoring, organizing, and directing all the activities, workshops, and dynamics of the weekend as a single team.

Thanks to this collaboration, the program is varied, structured, motivating, and highly effective.
