Family Padel Holidays

Around seven or eight for a proper session, and younger than that for a knock-about. The court is a quarter the size of a tennis court, the ball is slower and the walls keep it in play, so a child who would spend a tennis lesson fetching balls is actually rallying. Junior rackets are shorter and lighter, and most of the clubs we use keep a few.

That is the best thing about it. Padel is doubles only, the serve is underarm and power counts for much less than placement, so a ten-year-old and a grandparent can be on court with two adults and the game still works. Very few sports let a family of four genuinely compete against each other.

Yes. We can book a junior session while the adults play, a family session with one coach across the group, or a mix across the week. Coaching is the part of the trip we care most about getting right, so tell us the ages and we will match you with a coach who actually teaches children rather than one who tolerates them.

Perfectly normal, and the reason these particular hotels are on this page rather than the whole catalogue. They are resort bases with pools, beaches and space — so an hour on court in the morning does not cost anyone else their holiday.

We arrange the rooms as part of the trip, so tell us the ages and who needs to be next to whom and we will ask for it when we quote. As we are pre-launch every trip is priced individually, which means family room configurations get sorted properly rather than left to a booking form.
