Padel Holidays in Stockholm, Sweden

(a) You simply click on a ‘Book’ button anywhere on our website & fill out the form. 

• Accommodation: Fancy stays include a 5-star hotel or equivalent high-end accommodation. Classic stays are typically in 4-star hotels (never below 4 stars).

• Welcome drinks: Fancy stays kick off with a welcome drink on us — a chance to meet your fellow retreaters. This isn’t included in Classic stays.

• Transport to the Padel Club: If the club is more than a 20-minute walk from your hotel, transport is included with Fancy stays. With Classic stays, you’ll make your own way there — but we’ll provide clear directions and transport options.

• Excursion transport: Fancy stays include transport to and from Archipelago on our afternoon out. This isn’t included with Classic stays.

• On-the-ground support: On Fancy stays, a dedicated Flamingo guide will be with you throughout the trip. On Classic stays, your guide will be available via WhatsApp or phone for any questions, tips, or updates.

Everything else — padel, sunshine, fun — is exactly the same.

No. Timing of flights, from which airport, what cabin, arrival times, etc. – you are the expert in this department, so we leave it to you to book your own flight and transportation to and from airports. Of course, we are always here to assist if you need any help.

The simplest option is to fly into and out of Stockholm Arlanda, which is Stockholm’s largest international airport.

There are airport trains that take you to the centre of Stockholm. Closer to your retreat, we will provide you with instructions on how to reach your hotel.

We recommend taking a flight that arrives before 12 pm on Day 1, so you can unpack, chill by the pool & freshen up before the welcome drinks (typically around 6pm local time)*.

Please check your package details to see whether welcome drinks are included.

It’s your last day, so it’s really up to you. If you can handle it, we offer more padel play (but no coaching) on your last day until you need to catch your flight! If all other fellow flamingos are flying early, we can do our best to hook you up with 3 other Swedish players to play with. Just let us know before your retreat start date.

All our retreats typically offer two pricing options:

1. Shared room – a more budget-friendly option.
2. Private room – for those who prefer their own space.

We’ve designed our retreats so that they are suitable for all levels of play. We may indicate for individual retreats a minimum rating requirement.

Otherwise, our coaches will evaluate individual levels at the beginning of the first coaching session to optimise the groups’ coaching experience and assign each retreater a rating (more on ratings here).

Players will typically then be coached in groups according to their rating. In our experience, even if you are a total beginner, you will only need 1 hour of tuition to be able to enjoy padel at the amateur level.

If you are an advanced player with a rating of 5 and above (according to the LTA Padel Rating System), and you feel that you would benefit more from 1-on-1 coaching, then we are happy to arrange that for you at an extra cost.

Yes.

If the partner club isn’t within walking distance or takes more than 15 minutes by public transport, we may arrange private transport to take you there and back — a perk reserved for our Fancy stays. If you’re on a Classic retreat, transport isn’t usually included, but don’t worry — we’ll guide you on the easiest way to get there.

In short, no. But we would really love it if you did! Why: (1) from our experience, getting to know your fellow retreaters has a great impact on your overall holiday experience, (2) we’ve carefully selected and tested the Archipelago beach house we are taking you to; you really don’t want to miss out, and (3) it’s included in your package! Please do tell us in advance if you are not participating in any of our activities.

We’re obsessed about you meeting new people, but we know not every flamingo fancies the same flock! That’s why we’ve crafted tailor-made trips: the ‘FRIENDS EDITION’ for those keen on kindling new friendships, and the ‘SINGLES EDITION’ for the happily single adventurers eager to mingle with fellow solo flyers. And because we love shaking things up, we occasionally launch ‘Special Editions’ – unique, experimental retreats. Right now, we’re excited to offer a Special Edition Retreat specifically designed for folks in their 40’s & 50’s!

To cancel your retreat you must tell us in writing (email and by post) as soon as possible. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.

You must pay a termination fee which covers our administration costs and compensates us for the risk that we do not resell your retreat. The fee is based upon how long before your Retreat Start Date you tell us you want to cancel and is a percentage of the total price of your retreat.

Yes. They apply to all Stockholm retreats. Our FAQs on a separate page apply to all our retreats, including this one. We recommend that you take a look at these as well as they may answer other questions you may have re your trip! 

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary because the team have explored new places and we think it’s worth shaking things up a bit!
