Venue & location advantage

We’ll train at the Real Club Pádel Marbella — a full-spectrum facility that offers more than just mats: swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi, a weight room, boxing and MMA ring. This means you’ll have the perfect environment for serious training, smart recovery and downtime all in one place.
Also: just a walking distance to the beach for recovery walks, open air sessions or a relaxed late-afternoon dip.
And you’ll be surrounded by great dining options. For example, the club itself features a restaurant and terrace overlooking courts and the gym. (Real Club Padel Marbella)
Nearby, highly-rated spots like “Breathe” and other Mediterranean/European restaurants are within easy reach in the Nueva Andalucía / Puerto Banús area. (Tripadvisor)

Weather (what to expect)

Indicative flight prices to AGP (round-trip, searched early Nov ’25)

London → Málaga: frequently €35-€120 return in sales/low season.
Munich → Málaga: ~€110-€210 return depending on month; January tends to be the cheapest historically.
Stuttgart → Málaga: recent returns commonly ~€170 (lows under €100 at times).
Vienna → Málaga: sales frequently €50-€150 return (one-ways advertised from ~€23).
Tip: Multiple daily non-stops and LCC sales make February one of the easiest times to find value into AGP.
