Every trip, unmistakably Amici
Every trip is built around the season, the group and the best local experiences available. Whatever retreat you choose, you can expect plenty of padel, brilliant local food, carefree travel and good times around the table.
Always included
Plenty of padel, coaching, competitions and matches with local players.
Long lunches, local restaurants, courtside food and regional wine.
Seaside towns, historic centres and places we genuinely enjoy.
Proper downtime, your own hotel room and every practical detail handled.
A genuine example
This is the itinerary for our October Weekday One retreat. It isn't a template we repeat every time, but it gives you a genuine idea of the pace, variety and experience you can expect.
