Everything you need to know about our padel training experiences: what's included, pricing, destinations, level and how to book.
Every Palaestra experience includes elite coaching built on the Palaestra Method, two coached sessions per day, personalised video analysis and progression tracking, structured athlete recovery, and a premium lifestyle in a 5-star setting. Groups are capped at 9 players and matched by level. Experiences are coaching-only, meaning you arrange your own accommodation and flights while Palaestra handles the full on-court experience.
Palaestra experiences are coaching-only (you arrange your own accommodation and flights), priced per person: Bali is €2,500 (8 days), Dubai is €2,300 (5 days) and Koh Samui is €2,500 (7 days). Each experience is limited to 9 players. Tailor-made weeks and private weekends are priced on request. Apply on the relevant experience page to confirm your spot.
In 2026 Palaestra runs three experiences: Bali, Indonesia (10–17 October 2026, 8 days), Dubai, United Arab Emirates (18–22 November 2026, 5 days), and Koh Samui, Thailand (14–20 December 2026, 7 days). Each experience is limited to 9 players maximum.
Palaestra uses a four-step selection process to keep every group balanced: (1) you submit a short application form, (2) a 15-minute interview to understand your level and goals, (3) confirmation and payment to secure your spot, and (4) preparation before the experience. There is no instant checkout, which keeps groups matched by level and the experience high quality.
Yes. Beyond the scheduled experiences, Palaestra designs fully tailor-made weeks and private sport weekends on request, ideal for a group of friends, a company or a couple who want private coaching and a custom itinerary. Contact contact@palaestra.fr to design your own retreat.
Palaestra welcomes ambitious amateur players of every level. Because groups are capped at 9 players and matched by level, you train and play with people close to your standard, so both improving and advanced players progress. Coaching is personalised to each player.
The Palaestra Method is a structured training system built on four pillars: Technical Foundation, Tactical Structuring, Applied Pressure and Performance Review. Inspired by elite academies and adapted for ambitious amateurs, and combined with daily video analysis and progression tracking, it is designed to help you improve fast in one focused week.
Palaestra was founded by Florent Prelot, and every experience is led by him alongside a team of high-level coaches. Coaching is hands-on and personalised, with two sessions a day, video review and individual feedback for every player.
