Selective by design

Small group.
Real attention.

Palaestra Koh Samui 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.

9

Players maximum

One cohort for the entire week. No crowd, no queue for the court — just your group and the coaches.

1:3

Coach-to-player ratio

One coach for every three players. You're seen, corrected and pushed in every single session — never lost in the group.

2-step

Selection by level

Every spot is earned through an application form and a phone interview, so the group is matched by level and ambition.

Straight answers

Still wondering if
Palaestra is for you?

I am coming alone.

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 seven days with the same person.

I am worried everyone else will be better than me.

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.

Can one week really change my game?

Seven days, 28 coached hours, one coach for every three players, video analysis every day and a progression where each day builds on the last. That is roughly a season of club coaching, compressed, with someone watching only you and two others.

Is accommodation included?

No. Palaestra Koh Samui is coaching only. You choose and book where you stay, which keeps you free to pick your budget and your part of the island. We are happy to point you at where past players have stayed near the club.

Why €2,500?

28 hours of coaching at a 1:3 ratio, daily video analysis, daily mental preparation, lunch at the club every day, mental and tactical workshops, conditioning, and courts held for the group all week, led throughout by Florent, who still competes. Work out what those parts cost separately and the number stops being abstract.

What if I want a day off the court?

Take it. The programme runs four hours a day, and the courts stay booked for the group whatever we plan, so a rest day costs you nothing and you can still play if you change your mind in the morning.

These dates do not work for me.

Bali runs 10–17 October 2026 and Dubai 18–22 November 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.
