The camp runs over four days and three nights, with eight hours of coaching in total. That works out to about two hours on court a day. You get real practice time and still have your legs left for the next session, plus enough free time to see Palma.

Sessions are grouped by level: beginner, intermediate, high-intermediate and advanced. Beginners can expect grips, basic strokes, positioning and the rules. Stronger players will spend more time on the bandeja and vibora, wall play, transitions to the net and match tactics. Expect drills first and match play later in each session.

The venue is Pins Padel, one of the clubs in Palma's padel network. Mallorca has one of the busiest padel scenes in Spain, so the courts are well used and well kept, and there's usually a local crowd playing in the evenings.

What sets this apart from a longer academy camp is the format. It's short, it's in the city rather than out at a resort, and with a maximum of 16 players the coach-to-player ratio stays manageable. If you want a full week of heavy training, a 7-night camp elsewhere on the island makes more sense. If you want a focused long weekend of padel with a city break attached, this fits.

The best time to go to Mallorca for padel is April to June or September to October. Winter is quieter, and peak summer is hot for midday play. The next listed departure is 18 February 2027, when the weather is mild and the courts are less crowded.
