Travel & Padel is for a specific kind of traveler: the one who checks where the courts are before booking the flight. The one who packs a racket "just in case" — and then builds the case.
We publish in-depth destination guides, itineraries that mix padel with everything else a place does well, honest gear verdicts, coverage of travel-worthy amateur tournaments, and first-person stories from players on the road. One destination at a time gets our full attention — we go deep before we move on. First up: Bali.
The magazine looks premium and talks like a player, because that's who makes it. Guides are checked against official sources at publish time and carry a visible "last updated" date. Sponsored work is always labeled — partnership buys placement and access, never verdicts. The details live in our editorial policy.
From the founder
I built Travel & Padel for a selfish reason first: I'm a padel player who travels, and I was tired of landing somewhere new and not knowing where to play.
The sport had exploded across the world, but the information hadn't caught up. Planning a trip meant stitching together half-answers from group chats, dead forum threads, and Instagram DMs to clubs that never replied. I kept thinking, someone should make the guide I actually need — and eventually accepted that the someone was me.
So this is that guide, but it's bigger than a guide. Travel & Padel is a community for players who plan their trips around the courts— made by players, for players. People who pack a racket "just in case," and then build the whole trip around the case.
What we are notis another website that scrapes a hundred clubs into a thin listicle and calls it coverage. We go deep on one destination at a time. We review the clubs we'd actually send a friend to, point you to where to stay within a warm-up jog of the glass and where to eat after the match, and flag the amateur tournaments worth crossing a border for. The goal isn't traffic — it's curated experiences you can book a flight around.
If you've ever flown somewhere and found your best games among strangers who became your regular four by Wednesday, you already understand this project. Come write for us, tell partners about the founding cohort, or just read along. The community is the whole point.
