Location of the Language Village

This year, IHU Language Village will take place at the Yalova Language Village, which is located very close to Yalova city center.

Yalova Language Village Address: Bahçelievler, Tigem Arazileri İçi Kamplar Bölgesi, Merkez/Yalova Merkez, 77200

Konum

Yalova Language Village offers various social facilities to participants. The camp area includes designated areas for sports activities such as swimming pools, football, basketball, and tennis courts. There are separate swimming pools for male and female students, and relaxing facilities such as a Turkish bath are also available throughout the camp period. Thanks to these facilities, students will have a socially and physically enriching experience alongside language learning.

Accommodation

Students will stay in villas with their peers. Each villa is equipped with a mini fridge and air conditioner for student use. Hot water is available 24/7. Bathrooms and toilets are located inside the villas. Additionally, students can purchase necessary items from the on-site market.

  • Bedding Clean bed linens will be provided in the villas.
  • Cleaning Routine room cleaning will be handled by the Language Village staff. However, participants are responsible for keeping their own space tidy and organized.
  • Villa Assignments Time spent with friends in the villa is considered part of the educational experience. Villas are assigned based on factors like language proficiency, age, etc. Villa changes are not allowed except in exceptional circumstances.
  • Leaving the Language Village Participants are not allowed to leave the village during the program. Only in necessary cases, with a written request from the parent, may a student be permitted to leave.

Meals

Three meals a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are served at the Yalova Language Village under hygienic conditions. Meals are carefully planned to meet students’ nutritional needs, and the menu is designed to be healthy and balanced.

Note: Please inform us in advance about any allergies or special dietary requirements.
