6 iconic Spanish cities. 10 premium university residences. Weekly stays from just €125/person. Your academic summer adventure starts here.

Whether you’re attending a Summer course, completing research, or pursuing a language immersion programme, finding affordable and comfortable accommodation in Spain can make or break your experience. This Summer, Xior Student Housing opens its doors to any student looking for a secure, well-located, and all-inclusive place to stay, across some of Spain’s most vibrant university cities.

What Is the Xior Weekly Summer Promo?

The Weekly Summer Promo is a special campaign that allows any student, whether you’re already a Xior tenant, a returning guest, or discovering us for the first time, to book a stay of at least one week at any of our residences in Spain. The programme is open to the general public, and you’re even welcome to bring one guest along.

There are no complicated long-term commitments. You simply reserve your week (or more), arrive ready to study, and make the most of everything Spain has to offer between lectures.

Discover Spain’s Top University Cities for this Summer

Our 10 residences are spread across 6 cities, each with its own academic identity, cultural scene, and unique way of life. Here’s what makes each destination special for summer students:

Seville

The cultural heart of Andalusia, home to one of Spain’s largest and most prestigious universities. Flamenco, tapas culture, and extraordinary Moorish architecture await between study sessions.

Granada

Famous for the Alhambra and a thriving student scene. Granada’s compact, walkable centre makes it perfect for combining academic work with cultural immersion — and free tapas with every drink.

Malaga

Sun, sea, and an innovation ecosystem. Malaga is quickly becoming one of Europe’s most exciting academic hubs, with easy access to the Costa del Sol and an excellent quality of life.

Madrid

Spain’s capital and intellectual epicentre. World-class museums, leading research institutions, and a non-stop cultural calendar make Madrid an unmissable destination for ambitious Summer students.

Barcelona

A global magnet for international students. Barcelona’s vibrant tech and arts scenes, Gaudí’s architecture, and Mediterranean beaches combine to create an unparalleled academic Summer experience.

Zaragoza

Zaragoza is a dynamic mid-sized city with a strong engineering and sciences tradition and an excellent student-to-cost ratio.
