About this trip
First Touch
Arrive the evening before or ease in that morning. By early afternoon, you’re on court for the first session of a programme shaped around your game by the club’s coaching team. Whether you are still building confidence or already playing at a high level, the work is tailored to where you are and where you want to get to. Later, return beneath the lights for a second hit. As evening settles in, take a table at Soul, the club’s own restaurant, for dinner under the palms and a bottle from the cellar. Already, you’re starting to feel what makes NAC different.
Train, Then Switch Off
Court time again first thing, building on what your coach picked up the day before. By afternoon, the pace shifts. Head for the beach, book time at the spa, or wander into town before returning to NAC as the sun drops for the evening’s social tournament, playing alongside locals and fellow guests. The club’s weekly calendar is built around this kind of play, with social formats running throughout the week. Afterwards, everyone drifts towards the same table. The following morning starts gently. One more session on court, then Marbella takes over: a tapas walk with a local host, moving between favourite bars, family-run spots and the stories behind them, with food and wine along the way.
Play It Out
By now, the difference should be showing in the rallies. NAC’s coaching runs from beginner level through to professional competition, with its own training methodology behind each session. The morning sharpens what is already starting to click into place, then the afternoon is yours: private court time, no drills, no pressure, just space to play under the Marbella sun. A final morning on court, then it is down to Puerto Banús to board a Fairline Targa 48 for the afternoon. Swim, snorkel, or stay on deck while the coast slips past. From here, head home, or stay on for a few more days by the Mediterranean.
MAKE THIS YOURS
Every SET escape begins as inspiration. From where you play to how you travel, we shape it around you. Share your vision and we’ll design the perfect padel journey for you.
Where You'll Play & Stay
Nueva Alcántara Club
Talk of the town, and well beyond it, Nueva Alcántara Club is regularly acclaimed as the world’s best. Steps from the beach sit sixteen courts, with M3 Academy coaches training everyone from first-timers to some of the sport’s finest, plus a centre court built for the biggest tournaments. Off court, there’s a serious gym, an oxygen-focused spa and a restaurant made for lingering long after the final point.
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace
Up in the hills above Marbella, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace trades the coast's buzz for cypress trees, hiking trails and a quieter kind of grandeur. Choose between Mediterranean plates at La Loggia or Lebanese at Olà Beirut, then unwind at the 21,000-square-foot spa, complete with a sea salt hammam and personalised wellness programmes. A good base for anyone wanting golf and calm alongside their padel.
View HotelMarbella Club Hotel
Set between Marbella and Puerto Banús, Marbella Club Hotel - Golf Resort & Spa has been the coast's grand address since long before padel arrived here. Villas, suites, and the standalone Villa del Mar spread across subtropical gardens, with three heated pools, a private beach club, and an 18-hole golf course to fill the hours off court. The new Finca Ana María adds a proper wellness and dining anchor for anyone building rest days into the trip.
View HotelBoho Club Marbella
On Marbella's Golden Mile, Boho Club Marbella swaps the coast's grander resorts for Scandinavian-inspired suites and private bungalows behind palm gardens. The palm-fringed pool and acclaimed restaurant give it a residential, unhurried feel, a real contrast to the bigger names nearby. Puerto Banús, the beaches, and the golf courses are all close by when guests want to range further.

Trip Designer's Notes
If you want to ease off the padel, Marbella has plenty to fill the space. Add a round of golf in the hills, time at the spa, or a day inland around Ronda and the white villages. We can rebalance the itinerary around however much court time you actually want.
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.

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.
