For 18 years, the love story between Club Med and Babolat is no longer a secret. After doing it for tennis, the French brand has become the main equipment supplier of Club Med for the practice of padel. In March 2018, the first Club Med padel school was opened open to Club Med Exclusive Collection Seychelles, followed the following year by Club Med Magna Marbella.

Since then, padel has continued to grow across the globe. Today, six resorts offer this activity: Seychelles, Marbella (Spain), Opio-en-Provence (France), Phuket (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia) and Gregolimano (Greece).

Coaches are trained in each destination, with the help of the French brand, to allow tourists to enjoy a little padel session under the sun or under the coconut trees. Even professional players take advantage of it to go and hit the ball, like Miguel Semmler, in the photo below:

 Far from wanting to stop there, Club Med aims to open the practice of padel to four other destinations by 2025, still alongside Babolat.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
