Ciao! Let’s play.
Join Amici for a fully-sorted, seriously good padel break in Puglia, Italy's most sought-after destination.
What we are
Fully sorted, seriously good padel breaks
Ciao! We’re a padel holiday business founded by friends from the UK and Italy. We met on court and took our first group of padel friends to Puglia in 2024, to eat, play and experience the best of southern Italy.
Our mission is simple: to create fully sorted, seriously good padel holidays. No stress about who to play with, where to eat, which hotel to book, how to get around, how to split the bill, or what to do if you’re travelling solo. We take care of it all, for one simple price. Hotels, meals, coaching, competitions, vineyard lunches, courtside pasta, local transport, refreshments … if it’s on the itinerary, it’s included in your holiday.
If you finish an Amici retreat happy, tired, with new friends and great memories, we’ve done our job.

Why Puglia? Why padel? Why now?
The place to be. The game to play.
One of Europe’s most talked-about destinations meets one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. Puglia brings the coastline, the food and the Italian warmth. Padel brings the energy, the competition and the instant connection.
