ECT x Club Med Padel Evening - 7 July 2026
On Tuesday 7 July 2026, Executive Conference Travel joined forces with Club Med to host a special padel evening at Padel Project UK in Potters Bar.
The evening brought together clients, friends and padel enthusiasts for friendly competition, refreshments and the chance to discover more about Club Med padel holidays around the world.
It was a fantastic evening filled with plenty of energy, laughter and some wonderfully competitive padel.
A brilliant evening of padel in Potters Bar
Guests took part in two friendly Americano-style padel tournaments, giving players the opportunity to compete with different partners throughout the evening.
Whether they were experienced players or relatively new to the sport, everyone embraced the friendly atmosphere and enjoyed getting onto the courts.
Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success.
Why are padel holidays becoming so popular?
Padel is one of the fastest-growing racket sports and is particularly popular because it is sociable, easy to learn and suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.
Usually played as doubles on an enclosed court, padel combines elements of tennis and squash. The smaller court and underarm serve make it accessible to beginners, while experienced players can still enjoy fast-paced and highly competitive matches.
For travellers who would like to stay active while away, a padel holiday provides the ideal combination of sport, relaxation and sunshine.
Play padel on an all-inclusive Club Med holiday
Club Med offers padel at a growing selection of its all-inclusive resorts worldwide.
Depending on the chosen resort, guests may benefit from:
- Group padel lessons for different ability levels
- Free access to padel courts
- Rackets and balls available at the resort
- Opportunities to play with family, friends and other guests
- Private lessons at an additional cost at selected resorts
The great advantage of a Club Med holiday is that padel can form part of a much wider experience. Guests can enjoy accommodation, dining, an open bar, entertainment and a broad selection of sports and activities within the same resort.

Adventure Awaits
Safari & Club Med: The Perfect Pairing
What if your next holiday could combine beautiful beaches, exciting activities, family relaxation and the unforgettable experience of an African safari?
Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari brings these experiences together in KwaZulu-Natal, one of South Africa’s most naturally beautiful regions. It is an exciting choice for couples, families and adventurous travellers who want more than an ordinary beach holiday.
A Club Med resort beside the Indian Ocean
Club Med’s South Africa beach resort enjoys a coastal setting in KwaZulu-Natal, approximately 45 minutes from Durban. Here, green landscapes meet golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
The resort has been designed for guests who want to relax while still having plenty to discover. Days can be spent beside the pool, walking along the beach, trying a new activity or simply enjoying the ease of a Club Med all-inclusive holiday.
KwaZulu-Natal is known for its subtropical climate and striking natural scenery. Its location also makes it possible to combine time beside the sea with an authentic wildlife adventure.
An all-inclusive South Africa holiday
Club Med takes much of the work out of planning a holiday. Meals, drinks and a broad programme of sports and activities are included, subject to the arrangements applying to the chosen booking.
The South Africa resort is home to Club Med’s first-ever surf school, making its Indian Ocean setting particularly special. Whether guests are eager to try surfing or prefer a more restful pace, the resort offers opportunities for both activity and relaxation.
There are also family facilities and children’s programmes catering for different ages. While younger travellers enjoy supervised activities and make new friends, parents can take time to relax and enjoy the resort.
For those seeking an elevated experience, the resort also includes an Exclusive Collection space with enhanced accommodation and services.
Add a safari at Vikela Safari Lodge
A visit to South Africa would not feel complete without experiencing its extraordinary wildlife.
A stay at Club Med Vikela Safari Lodge can be added to the beach resort holiday. Located within an extensive private game reserve, the lodge offers a contrasting experience surrounded by the sights and sounds of the South African wilderness.
Guests can join twice-daily game drives, with opportunities to encounter some of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife, including the animals traditionally known as the Big Five. Accommodation in luxurious safari tents brings together comfort and a sense of adventure.
Stays of one to three nights can be incorporated into the wider Club Med experience. This makes it possible to enjoy a beach holiday and safari without having to organise two completely separate trips.
Is Club Med South Africa suitable for families?
Club Med South Africa is particularly appealing to families seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort.
Family accommodation, children’s clubs, a family-friendly pool and a wide selection of activities help different generations enjoy the holiday at their own pace. Surfing is available for eligible children, while the safari lodge offers family-focused facilities and wildlife experiences.
Seeing South African wildlife in its natural surroundings can be a wonderfully memorable experience for children and adults alike.
A wonderful choice for couples
The resort is not only for families. Couples can enjoy beach time, sports, good food and quieter areas created for relaxation.
Combining the coast with a short safari stay makes this an attractive option for a honeymoon, anniversary or special celebration. It offers contrasting experiences within one journey: peaceful mornings beside the ocean, active afternoons and the excitement of seeing wildlife in the bush.
