OUR STORY
Oliver
Sport has always been a core part of my life. Growing up with a twin meant there was always someone to compete with, train with, and share that passion. From football to tennis, we were constantly active and that energy eventually led me to study sports management in the U.S., driven by a desire to build something impactful in the world of sport and lifestyle. I was also lucky enough to travel often growing up, visiting beautiful destinations and experiencing different cultures. Those trips gave me a deep appreciation for design, hospitality, and the unique feeling of a truly memorable getaway.
In 2019, everything changed when I discovered padel while visiting Spain. I was instantly hooked, not just on the sport itself, but on its social, accessible nature. It didn’t take long before my twin and I were playing regularly, coaching, and becoming deeply involved in the community around it. That’s how Courtside Padel was born. We wanted to combine two things we truly love: the dynamic, social world of padel and the magic of high-end travel. Our retreats are designed for people who want more than just a holiday. They want to move, connect, and unwind in beautiful settings, with padel at the heart of the experience.
OUR STORY
Alexi
I’ve been chasing a ball around a court since I was four years old. Tennis was my first love - the sound of the strings, the rhythm of rallying, the constant pursuit of perfection. I trained at a top academy in France, and later earned the chance to play Division I college tennis in the U.S. For years, I lived and breathed the sport, dreaming of going pro. But then I discovered padel, and everything changed. The first time I stepped onto a padel court, I felt an instant spark. It had the intensity of tennis, but with a twist: more dynamic, more social, more fun. I was hooked.
Padel gave me that same adrenaline rush, but with a stronger sense of community. It reminded me why I fell in love with sport in the first place. At the same time, I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places. Traveling, connecting with people from different backgrounds, discovering new cultures - that’s where I thrive. Courtside Padel was born from the desire to bring all of that together: the joy of padel, the thrill of travel, and the power of shared experiences. Today, whether we’re hosting a private event in London or curating a luxury retreat in Menorca or Bali, I’m proud to be creating something more than just a game. We’re building a lifestyle around connection, competition, and unforgettable experiences in the most breathtaking destinations around the world.
