Ideal duration
4 nights
Per person price from
$3,000
Experience Scandinavian elegance on immaculate black rooftop courts, paired with KL’s best stays and local spots.
Find yourself playing high above the city on Padel Galis courts, beside a 20-metre pool, with views to remember. From technical precision to tactical drills, to positioning and decision-making, to closing it with an Americano, all under the wing of ASCARO's expert coaches. What's learned here travels well, however far you've flown. KL offers a handsome display of hotels, and we've handpicked the ones that know the city best. Padel sets the rhythm, but it is only part of the experience. At ASCARO, dining goes well beyond club sandwiches, while cooling off means an outdoor shower followed by the infinity pool. Beyond the court, unwind with spa treatments, discover one of Asia’s great food cities, and explore Kuala Lumpur with a private guide.

ABOUT THIS TRIP
Settle into Kuala Lumpur
Land in Kuala Lumpur and settle into one of the city's best stays. Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons both look out over KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers, one from ground level, one from soaring, light-filled rooms above it. Banyan Tree goes higher still, its spa and restaurants built more than fifty floors up, around the view rather than beside it. The rest of the day is yours to find your footing. Swim, book the Oriental Essence Massage at Mandarin Oriental's spa or the Royal Banyan at Banyan Tree's, or simply put your bags down and take an hour before the city settles in around you. Courts await tomorrow.
Precision and Performance
The first session starts from ASCARO's own coaching philosophy: most players train their shots, few train their understanding of the game. High-intensity drills sharpen execution and dismantle the habits holding your game back; run through the biomechanics-led method Saúl Asensi has built over 17 years of coaching across Europe. After a lunch built for athletes at SanTai House, it's tactical work grounded in real match situations: positioning, shot selection, control of the net, corrected in real time and rebuilt around how you actually move through the court. Unwind in the club's pool or head back to the hotel for a treatment of your own. Dinner can stay unhurried at SanTai House's evening kitchen, TAI+, built around fire, charcoal and Asian technique, or move back into the city for something else entirely.
Championship Mindset
The next day, technique meets instinct. A masterclass puts you inside more complex tactical situations: reading patterns, deciding under pressure, responding with a clearer head. Then the pace lifts. A fast Americano tests what's been built against different styles of play, and gives a first taste of the social scene that fills ASCARO's courts most evenings. Afterwards, unwind by the pool or return to the spa. For the evening, stay right where you are at TREC: Iron Fairies is a two-minute walk from the club, all live jazz and handcrafted cocktails. Or head into Bangsar, where Telawi Street's wine bars take over.
Kuala Lumpur Beyond the Court
The padel can end here, or it doesn't have to: extra sessions and private clinics can be arranged for those who want to keep going. For everyone else, it's time to recover and take a closer look at KL. Pick a treatment to match your stay: a deep tissue massage, an aromatherapy facial, a herbal compress ritual, then let the rest of the day follow. A private guide can lead you through Petaling Street and the temples and shophouses of Chinatown, on through Merdeka Square and Kampung Baru, where wooden kampung houses and old mosques sit a street away from the tallest buildings in the city, a reminder of how quickly Kuala Lumpur became what it is now. Or step outside the centre entirely, for the limestone caverns of Batu Caves or the rainforest trails of FRIM. Food can lead the day too: nasi lemak, char kway teow and satay at institutions worth knowing, or a final night at Dewakan, one of the city's most inventive kitchens, for a tasting menu built almost entirely around native Malaysian ingredients.

Personalise Your TripThings to Know
How your journey comes together
SET Away operates on an enquiry-led, bespoke model. You won't book instantly online. Instead, we begin by understanding you, your level of play, how you like to travel, and what you want from the experience. From there, we design a tailored itinerary that brings together the right destination, accommodation, and padel programme. Once confirmed, your booking is secured with a deposit, typically from 20%, with the remaining balance due closer to departure.
Pricing & what's included
Each escape is individually priced depending on your group size, choice of hotel, the level of padel experience, and other activities. Prices are usually quoted per person based on two sharing, and can be adjusted accordingly. Flights are not always included by default, but can be arranged as part of your package. As everything is built to order, pricing may vary based on availability at the time of booking.
Amendments & cancellations
Changes can be made after booking, subject to timing and supplier flexibility. Amendments may incur additional costs, particularly closer to departure, where changes may be treated as cancellations. Deposits are non-refundable, and cancellation charges increase as you approach your travel date. Some elements of your trip may be subject to stricter supplier-specific policies. For hotel-only bookings, the hotel's own terms and conditions apply. For itinerary and travel package bookings, 360 Private Travel's terms and conditions apply.
The padel experience
Padel sits at the core of every escape. We work with a select group of the world's leading clubs and coaches to deliver what we consider to be some of the finest padel experiences available. Expect a well-balanced mix of coaching, structured match play, and social formats, all tailored to your group and level. Each programme is carefully designed to ensure time on court is both high quality and highly enjoyable.
Accommodation
Every stay is elevated through our partnership with 360 Private Travel, unlocking access to an unrivalled network of over 4,000 luxury hotels and resorts worldwide. As a Virtuoso member agency and Forbes Travel Guide-endorsed partner, we are able to secure exclusive benefits for our clients, including complimentary upgrades, daily breakfast, hotel credits, and priority access through the world's leading hoteliers. Each property is carefully selected to complement your destination and overall experience, ensuring consistency in service, setting, and quality throughout your journey. Room categories and upgrades remain subject to availability at the time of booking.
Optional experiences
Beyond padel, we can incorporate additional elements such as yacht charters, wellness treatments, or cultural activities. These are arranged through trusted partners and can be added to enhance your trip. Availability and pricing will depend on the destination and timing.
Insurance
We strongly recommend that all travellers take out comprehensive travel insurance, covering cancellation, medical needs, and travel disruption. In addition, all padel partners we work with are vetted and required to hold appropriate insurance, including participant injury coverage, ensuring a safe and professionally managed on-court experience.
Travel essentials
You are responsible for ensuring that passports, visas, and any health requirements are in place ahead of travel. You should also adhere to all confirmed timings and travel details. Standards and regulations may differ from your home country depending on the destination.
On-trip support
You will have access to support throughout your trip. If anything requires attention while you are travelling, it is important to raise it at the time so it can be addressed quickly and effectively.
