Padel Holidays Direct Team
Published 01/03/2026
Marbella is not just a padel destination — it is the padel destination. The Costa del Sol has more courts per capita than anywhere else in Europe, and the sport is woven into the fabric of local culture. Our Marbella camp has been running since 2019 and remains our most popular programme. Here is everything you need to know before you book.
The Courts: World Padel Tour Standard
Our partner facility in Marbella features six outdoor courts with the same artificial grass and sand infill surfaces used on the World Padel Tour. The lighting system allows for evening play until 11pm, and the courts are maintained daily by a dedicated ground staff. For advanced players, we also have access to a private indoor facility with temperature control — ideal for mid-summer training when the Andalusian sun is at its peak.
The Coaching Team
Marbella attracts elite coaching talent, and our team reflects that. Head coach Alejandro Ruiz is a former WPT qualifier with over 15 years of teaching experience. He is supported by two additional coaches, all FEP-certified, with a combined coach-to-player ratio of 1:3 — the best in our programme portfolio.
Accommodation: Beachfront Luxury
We partner with a boutique beachfront hotel in Puerto Banus, a three-minute walk from the courts. Rooms are modern and spacious, with Mediterranean views, and the hotel features a rooftop pool that becomes the social hub of the camp each evening. Half-board is included, with breakfast at the hotel and dinner at a rotating selection of local restaurants.
A Typical Day
Mornings start at 8:30am with a two-hour coaching session focusing on technical development. After a break for lunch and rest, the afternoon session (4pm-6pm) is dedicated to match practice and tactical training. Evenings are free — though most guests gather for group dinners at beachfront restaurants, exploring Marbella's renowned culinary scene.
Wednesdays are excursion days, with optional trips to nearby attractions like Ronda, Gibraltar, or Granada. Saturdays feature a camp tournament with prizes, followed by a farewell dinner.
Who Is It For?
Our Marbella camp runs three parallel programmes: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The beginner programme focuses on fundamentals and fun. The intermediate programme adds tactical complexity and match strategy. The advanced programme features video analysis, fitness conditioning, and competitive match play against local club players.
