Padel, the coast, and authentic Andalusia.

Why come

Padel, and a proper week on the Cádiz coast.

You play padel every morning, seventeen hours across the week. Afternoons are for activities and the beach. Evenings are Andalusia: long dinners with the group, and the food and wine you came for.

Proper coaching

Seventeen hours of padel across the week, properly coached, four to a court. The trainers are federation-certified and the club has more than twenty-five years of history.

I know this place

I've been coming to Sancti Petri my whole life, nearly every weekend and every summer. You get the restaurants, the beaches and the people I actually know, not a list off the internet.

The food is the point

Lunch and dinner are out at local places, never a hotel buffet. Come hungry: gambas, paella, croquetas, almejas, and the rest of the Spanish tapas table.

A group worth meeting

Sixteen people from Berlin's tech and startup world, late 20s to early 40s. It stays small on purpose, so you actually know everyone by the end of the week.

Heit Racket Center, Sancti Petri

The padel

17 hours on court.

✓
Five days, months of progress
Wednesday to Saturday: a two-hour class in groups of four with your coach, then a ninety-minute guided match. A tournament on Sunday. And the courts are free for the group all week, so you can play as many extra hours as you like.
✓
Certified coaches
One certified coach for every four players, four to a court. Your coach takes the class and stays on for the guided match, so you're coached through real games, not just drills.
✓
Ten courts, pro surface
Heit Academy, going 25 years: ten padel courts, the covered ones on Mondo grass, the surface the Premier Padel tour uses. A ten-minute walk from the hotel.

The place

I grew up here. Let me show you around.

This stretch of the Cádiz coast is the quietest, best corner of Spain I know. Atlantic beaches, one of the oldest cities in Western Europe, sherry bodegas in Jerez, flamenco at night, white villages up in the hills. Most visitors never find it. I spent my whole childhood here, so you get the version I know.

A hello from me

I'm the one in the video. I grew up on this coast, and I've spent the last four years in Berlin's startup and AI scene, so I know both ends of this trip. Find me on LinkedIn.

The stay

A 4-star hotel right on the beach.

✓
On the sand, all on foot
The hotel sits right on the beach. The courts are a ten-minute walk, plus activities and restaurants, all without a car.
✓
Breakfast is in
Buffet breakfast every morning at the hotel. Lunch and dinner are out at local places, optional, and I take the group.
✓
Pools, spa, gym, gardens
Indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with a sauna, a gym, and gardens to sit in.

The afternoons

The afternoons are where the week opens up.

Once the padel's done, I take the group out. A boat along the coast, horses on the beach, a flamenco night, or something sportier. Do the ones you want, skip the ones you don't.

Optional

The food

The food might be the best part.

I take you to the Andalusian places I've eaten at my whole life. Fish and seafood straight off the coast, slow-cooked meat, jamón, paella, tapas, tortilla, croquetas, salmorejo, pescaíto frito, and plenty more. You come along and order what you want. This is where the week happens.

Questions, answered

What level do I need to be?

This is for intermediate and advanced players, roughly a Playtomic 1.8 and up. You don't have to be competitive, but you should be able to hold a rally and know the basics. On the first morning the coaches watch everyone and put you with players around your level, four to a court, so the games stay good.

Who comes on the camp?

Mostly people from Berlin's tech and startup world, late 20s to early 40s, who can take a week off and want more than a training block. It's sixteen people, on purpose. You'll know everyone by the end.

What are the dates and format?

Tuesday to Sunday, six days and five nights. You travel in Tuesday, play Wednesday to Saturday, finish with a tournament Sunday morning, then fly home that evening. The camp runs 6 to 11 October 2026, sixteen places.

What's the weather like?

Early autumn here is warm and dry. October sits around 25°C by day and 17°C at night, and it rains about six days. Sunset is around 8:10 pm.

How do I get there?

Getting there · Tuesday

Jerez (XRY). Direct from Berlin at 6:00 AM, then a 45-minute drive to the hotel.
Málaga (AGP). Direct from Berlin at 10:05 AM, 2:45 PM or 3:00 PM, about 2.5 hours to the hotel.

Getting back

Best option, Sunday after the tournament: Málaga at 7:25 PM. About 2.5 hours' transfer.
Leave earlier: Málaga Sunday at 10:15 AM, or Jerez Saturday at 7:15 PM. Both mean skipping the Sunday tournament. With the Saturday flight you still get the morning's padel and lunch before heading to the airport.
Leave later: Seville (SVQ) Monday at 10:25 AM. A 1.5-hour transfer, and one extra night, on you.

I cover the rental cars for every transfer, both ways. Flights aren't included.

Is there a transfer bus?

No, and that's on purpose. This is a local, human trip, not a coach and a tour guide. Once everyone has booked their flights, I put you in groups of four and rent a car for each group for the whole week. It covers your airport runs both ways, it's how we get around together, and if you want to slip off one afternoon on your own, take the car and go. The car and the fuel are on me.

What's included, and what isn't?

Included: five nights at the 4-star beachfront hotel with breakfast, 17 hours of padel (coaching, guided matches and a Sunday tournament), and all the airport transfers. Optional on top: lunch and dinner out, and the afternoon activities. I organise them and you pay only for what you choose, with no markup. Not included: your flights, about €350 return from Berlin.

What are the afternoon activities like?

Once all spots are filled, I send a form asking everyone to pick their preferred activities for the week. The ones with the most votes get organised. You only commit on the day, and you only pay for what you join.

How do I hold a spot?

Booking isn't open yet, so for now you join the waitlist. When it opens you'll get first pick of the sixteen spots, and I'll send you everything to confirm.
