About the Experience

Train. Enjoy. Connect.

Join us at Universal Padel Academy Benidorm for a four-day premium padel experience led personally by Claudio Gilardoni, coach of Paula Josemaría and a renowned professional with more than 20 years of experience developing elite players.

Unlike other camps that only offer a renowned coach’s methodology, here Claudio will be on court with you throughout the training sessions, supported by a dedicated coach on every court. You’ll follow a structured programme combining technical development, tactical work, match play and video analysis.

You’ll train at the official academy where Paula Josemaría, former world No. 1 and Premier Padel champion, prepares for the professional circuit, alongside Agustín Gutiérrez, former Top 30 player.

The experience takes place inside Meliá Villaitana Resort in Benidorm, combining high-performance padel with premium accommodation, Mediterranean gastronomy, resort facilities and the authentic lifestyle of Spain’s Costa Blanca.
