Is this for you

A Palaestra week is built
for you if…

You play regularly, and you can feel you have hit a plateau.

You want coaching that corrects your game, not four hours of drills shared with sixteen people.

You want to train with players at your own level, all week.

You are willing to work hard for one week to make a jump your club will notice.

Every level is welcome and groups are split by level. Every player goes through a phone interview before a spot is confirmed, and we will tell you honestly if the week is not right for you yet.

Fantastic padel bootcamp. Full on sessions breaking down positioning, tactics, movement and hits. The video reviews and feedback are invaluable in accelerating the journey.

★★★★★

The training was highly individualized. They took the time to identify my specific strengths and weaknesses. I came away with a much better understanding of tactics and strategy that I can already feel making a difference.

How can I be sure I’ll play with people at my level?
Match your level, guaranteed.
At Palaestra, we don’t believe in random sign-ups. Every participant goes through a selection process before the camp:
We ask for your padel background, ranking, and match experience.
Our coaches review your profile to place you in the right group.
Groups are balanced so that everyone can progress together, without frustration.
👉 This way, you can be certain you’ll train with partners who truly match your level — players who challenge you, not discourage you.
‍
Is the camp suitable for my level?
Yes. Each participant is assessed beforehand and placed in a group of similar level. Whether you're a beginner or advanced player, you'll progress with partners at your own pace.
I'm coming alone, is that a problem?
Not at all. Most participants come solo. Everything is designed to encourage connection and a group spirit from day one.
Do I need to book my own flight?
Flights are not included, and neither is accommodation. You book both yourself, which leaves you free to choose your budget, your neighbourhood and how long you stay. We are happy to point you to where past players have stayed near the club, and to help you pick arrival and departure times that fit the programme.
Is everything included in the price?
No, and that is deliberate. Palaestra camps are coaching only: the padel programme, coaching, courts, daily video analysis and recovery are included. Flights and accommodation are yours to book, so you stay where and how you like. Per person: Bali €2,500 (8 days), Dubai €2,300 (5 days), Koh Samui €2,500 (7 days).
Is it mixed?
Yes, it’s a mixed program. The camp attracts a diverse, active, and welcoming community. The vibe is premium, yet relaxed.
What can I do after the camp?
Most players add a few days on site, in Bali, Dubai or Koh Samui. We share our recommendations for where to eat, what to see and how to get around, and you can book extra private padel sessions if you want more court time.
