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.
A top-notch padel clinic. If you are really focused on improving your padel game and you want to have a great time, this is the one for you.
Why Dubai
The Week
A structured five-day progression, from assessment to coached match play. No filler. Every session has a theme.
Your baseline, your three themes for the week, and a defence that holds.
When to go forward, the first volley, and keeping the net as a pair.
Bandeja, vibora and smash, plus your mid-week video review.
The glass at pace, playing as a pair, momentum scenarios.
Coached matches, your coach still in the game, then the closing debrief.
A Day at Palaestra
Structure that keeps you sharp without burning you out. Two sessions on court, framed by recovery and the work that turns training into progress.
The Venue
Palaestra by Padel One: a world-class academy in Dubai with panoramic glass courts built to international standards, indoor and climate-controlled. Courts reserved for the group, your base for five days.
Selective by design
Palaestra Dubai isn't a holiday. We keep the cohort small, the coaching ratio high, and every player is selected by level, so the week pushes everyone on court, not just the loudest.
One cohort for the entire week. No crowd, no queue for the court, just your group and the coaches.
One coach for every three players. You're seen, corrected and pushed in every single session, never lost in the group.
Every spot is earned through an application form and a phone interview, so the group is matched by level and ambition.
What's Included
Accommodation, flights and dinners are not included. You arrange your own stay in Dubai. We take care of the padel.

Most players do. The group is built before arrival from the applications we accept, and partners rotate through the week by design. You will not spend five days with the same person.
That is what the phone interview is for. Every player is assessed before being accepted and the cohort is built around compatible levels. If the fit is wrong, we say so rather than take your money.
Twenty coached hours at a 1:3 ratio, four hours a day, with video analysis every day. It is the format built for people who cannot take a full week off. If you want the longer progression, Koh Samui runs seven days in December.
No. Palaestra Dubai is coaching only. You choose and book where you stay, which keeps you free to pick your budget and your neighbourhood. We are happy to point you at where past players have stayed near the club.
Twenty hours of coaching at a 1:3 ratio, daily video analysis, breakfast and lunch at the club every day, tactical work and conditioning, and panoramic indoor courts held for the group at Padel One, one of the best venues in the Gulf. Dubai court time at that standard is the most expensive of our three destinations, and the price reflects the venue as much as the coaching.
No. Every session is played indoors on climate-controlled courts, which is exactly why we run Dubai in November and why we chose this venue rather than an outdoor club.
Koh Samui runs a long weekend on 10–13 December and a full week on 14–20 December 2026, same method and same ratio. You can also open a private week on your own dates. Apply anyway and say which window suits you.
