Summer 2024, Barcelona
Padel Retreats Spain was born on Bogatell Beach after a sun-soaked conversation between three friends who shared a passion for padel and travel.

How it started
Our story
From a beach conversation to creating unforgettable padel experiences across Spain
02
The London Struggle
Will was frustrated with organizing padel in London: nightmare bookings, sky-high fees, and rain interrupted matches. A far cry from Barcelona's beachside rallies and post-game cañas.
03
The Lightbulb Moment
UK friends kept telling Will how lucky he was to have Barcelona's buzzing padel scene at his doorstep. At the same time, Marta and Elena were always booking courts for visiting friends. That's when it clicked, we were onto something!
