DILO

What DILO does

DILO — operating as DILO – Idiomes Grup 7 S.L (Tax ID B57785990), a private limited company domiciled in Inca, Mallorca, Spain — is a multifunctional educational center that has evolved over 8+ years from a Spanish school for foreigners into a diversified language-and-experiences platform. Its core offering is language instruction (English, Spanish, Catalan, French) delivered through an experiential "learn by doing" methodology supported by proprietary pedagogical assets: the DILITO and DILITA mascot characters that thread narrative continuity from infancy through age 12, and a Cultural Projects framework organizing content around five annual themes tied to English-speaking countries. The company operates from two physical sites — the DILO Center at Avinguda de Lluc 64 and the DILOFarm experiential facility at Ctra Inca-Sencelles Km1.7 — and is an official Oxford Test of English examination center for A2-C1 certification.

The business is organized into four product divisions: DILO Languages (group, individual and intensive courses from age 2, plus exam preparation), DILO Events (birthday parties, corporate events and venue rental), DILO Farm (school visits, seasonal camps, team building and the forthcoming DILOLand leisure area), and DILO Business (corporate language training, translation/interpretation services including court interpretation, and corporate venue hire). Revenue is generated through a mix of annual subscriptions/registration fees for courses (€40-55 registration, 35-70 course hours/year), pay-as-you-go exam modules (€55-€155), per-event venue and party fees, and professional services for translation, interpretation, and corporate training. Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via the dilo.es website and walk-ins, plus B2B2C delivery through AMIPA parent-association partnerships and direct contracts with schools for extracurricular programming.

DILO primarily serves families with children in Mallorca, supplemented by foreign residents and tourists seeking Spanish instruction, adult learners pursuing Oxford certification, local corporates needing language training or events space, and schools purchasing extracurricular delivery. Marketing is content-led (multilingual blog, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) with heavy reliance on word-of-mouth referrals and local community presence. The company has cumulatively served 1,000+ children across its history, holds a registered trademark ("DILO Mallorca"), and is GDPR-compliant and partially WCAG 2.1 AA conformant, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or headcount metrics.
