Travel Further.
Founded in 2018 in Manchester — at the centre of the UK padel boom — Padel Holidays Direct emerged from a frustration every player knows: planning a padel trip is a logistical nightmare. Courts, hotels, coaching, match partners... it takes weeks to organise.
We decided to do it properly. Every destination is personally scouted. Every coach is vetted. Every hotel is within walking distance of the courts. Today, we operate across 15 destinations on four continents, serving thousands of padel enthusiasts who demand the best.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Courts First
Every destination is chosen for its court quality first. Hotels and restaurants come second. We are padel people before we are travel people.
Pro-Level Coaching
All our coaches are certified professionals with competitive playing experience. No amateur instructors. No shortcuts.
Community Driven
Our groups are matched by skill level so everyone plays competitive, enjoyable matches. Many guests leave with lifelong padel partners.
Luxury Without Compromise
Premium accommodation, top-tier dining, and seamless logistics. Because recovery between matches should be as good as the game itself.
Home Court Advantage
Proudly Manchester
Our headquarters sits in the heart of Manchester, but our story really started on the courts. We partner with three of Manchester's top padel clubs — hosting monthly socials, pre-trip meet-ups, and end-of-season tournaments that bring the community together before a flight is even booked.
Manchester's padel scene has exploded over the past five years, and we have been right in the middle of it. From warehouse conversions in Ancoats to floodlit courts in Didsbury, the city is producing some of the most passionate players in the country. Many of our guests are regulars at these clubs — they book with us because they already trust the community we have built here at home.
