Padel in Marbella

Where the Andalusian sun shine, and padel has its origins!
Whether you've already played this new sport or are a complete beginner, this is a great opportunity! You've decided to holiday on the Costa del Sol and chosen Club Med Magna Marbella as your hotel. But did you know you're in the city where the sport became popular?
Padel is a young sport. Invented in 1969 in Mexico, it was properly launched in 1974 by Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who was friends with padel's inventor, Enrique Corcuera. The prince loved the sport and set up the first padel club. Padel then took off in the USA. Since 2014, the French Tennis Federation has been managing padel clubs, competitions and bodies.
So, you won't be surprised to find 6 padel courts and a training centre at your hotel. Book a court to learn the basics or improve your skills individually or with a group.

A sport for all ages and styles!

Club Med Magna Marbella offers unlimited free access to the padel training centre and courts during your all-inclusive holiday.

This is a great opportunity to try a dynamic and fun sport with Hispanic heritage. Featuring elements of tennis, squash, badminton and pelota, padel is a lively and intense sport. You always leave a padel lesson or match feeling you've achieved something.

And kids can play too!

From age 6 at Mini Club Med®
From age 11 in group lessons with adults

Padel rackets and balls are provided for your booking. Choose your time, find some suitable shoes and make sure you remember your water! Our G.Os® will teach you all the rules you need to have fun. Learn with your kids at your own pace, and then play together.

What will it be? Cocktail? Spa? Treatment?
Did you know that a one-hour padel game can burn over 600 calories? Though the sport is easy, it's also pacey. Especially if you get caught up in the game. So, after a session, you might want to cool off at the Sierra Blanca bar. Enjoy a cold cocktail and a few tapas in this rejuvenating adult environment. For deeper relaxation, head to the Club Med Spa by Cinq Mondes for some me-time.
Choose the right experience for you:

• Wellness Facial: 50-minute treatment to regenerate your skin after hard work.
• Wellness Massage: 50-minute massage of your choice to relax your muscles after your match.
• Bespoke Wellness Experience: 2-hour treatment of your choice. Everything you need, whenever you want it.

The Cinq Mondes Spa also has a spa and hammam where you can forget your worries, and manicures and pedicures to enjoy. Been looking after your health? We'll look after you!
