Considered journeys. Seamless padel. Time well spent.
South Africa offers world-class padel, extraordinary landscapes, and
a lifestyle to savour. Let us curate your first class padel travel experience.
Who It’s For
Our journeys are designed for couples, friends, clubs, teams, and corporate groups. Whether your focus is improving your game, playing socially, or simply enjoying padel in a beautiful setting, we shape the experience around how you like to travel.
From airport arrivals to coaching sessions, we take care of the details. Logistics, bookings, schedules, and on-the-ground hosting are all handled, allowing you to stay present and enjoy the experience.
Our Approach
You can choose a fully curated padel holiday, or work with us purely on the padel side of your trip. Some groups want everything handled. Others prefer flexibility. What doesn’t change is the level of care.
What We Offer
We can either curate and manage a complete padel travel experience, or feel free to lean on us for just the padel part of your holiday. The choice is completely yours.
Luxury Stays
We work with a handful of boutique hotels from refined four-star properties to discreet, high-end stays, chosen for comfort, location, and atmosphere.
Padel Touring
Play in a range of locations, from ocean-side courts and modern indoor facilities in Cape Town to more remote and unexpected settings elsewhere in the country.
Expert Coaching
Our coaching adapts to your level and goals. Sessions focus on technique, tactical awareness, and match play, delivered in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Non-Padel Experiences
Make time for safari experiences, wine tasting, beach days, golf, hiking, cycling, shopping, and local markets, depending on your interests and energy.
Play with Locals
We provide an opportunity to play Americanos with local players, offering friendly competition and an easy way to connect with the local padel community.
Restaurants
From fine dining to relaxed local favourites, we will curate and book restaurants for your palette. Our car services will free you up to enjoy our beautiful wines.
