The little luxuries behind our Ibiza padel escape

May 14, 2026

There are some trips that are all about the destination. Others are about the details.

 

Our exclusive Ibiza padel trip with XPI Padel was created to bring together everything we love about modern luxury travel – movement, sunshine, brilliant people, beautiful surroundings and those considered touches that make a trip feel genuinely memorable.

 

Think sun-drenched padel courts, boutique island stays, long lunches, relaxed dinners and enough time between matches to properly enjoy Ibiza away from the usual party narrative. It was active, social and stylish in a way that felt very Travel Seen.

 

And this is only the beginning.

 

We’ll be curating more padel trips and group experiences with XPI Padel, designed for players, friendship groups, corporate teams and anyone who wants to combine travel with something a little more dynamic. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already obsessed with the sport, these trips are built around connection, movement and the joy of doing something different.

 

But what made this Ibiza escape feel even more special was the way we partnered with brands that understood the energy of the trip.

Court ready
with Pounce Padel

For Gemma and Jen, the trip started before they even reached the court.

 

Pounce Padel kindly gifted them two of their signature rackets for the Ibiza escape, leopard print for Gemma and mint green for Jen. Naturally, both felt completely on brand.

 

Founded by Georgie Rennie, Pounce Padel is a women first padel brand creating high-quality rackets that look as good as they perform. The brand was born from a very real gap in the market, women were falling in love with padel but the kit still felt overwhelmingly masculine, fluorescent and uninspiring.

 

Pounce changes that.

 

The rackets are bold, chic and designed with female players in mind, combining a lightweight feel with a 100% carbon frame, 3K carbon surface and teardrop shape. In short, they’re made for women who want to feel confident on court without compromising on performance.

 

And for a trip like Ibiza, where style, sport and socialising all meet in one place, they were the perfect fit.

The post padel reset
with The Retreat England

After a full day of coaching, match play and sunshine, the reset matters just as much as the game.

 

Each of the ladies on the trip received a beautiful Wellbeing Discovery Collection from The Retreat England in their goodie bags. It was the kind of product moment that made complete sense for the rhythm of the trip: calming, restorative and easy to use after long days on court.

 

The Retreat England is a female-founded wellbeing and body care brand created by Tracy Mort MBE. The range blends bath, body and home products with aromatherapy essential oils, rose and clear quartz crystal infusion and a spa-inspired approach to everyday rituals.

 

The gifted set included the kind of products you actually want with you on an active trip: body care to cleanse and nourish, a wellbeing mist to reset and that subtle spa-at-home feeling after a busy day.

 

It’s these kinds of details that take a travel experience from well organised to genuinely considered.

Why the details matter

Luxury travel is not always about doing less. Sometimes, it’s about doing more of what makes you feel good.

 

Padel in Ibiza is the perfect example. You get the energy of sport, the beauty of the island, the ease of a curated itinerary and the feeling of being part of something social without it feeling forced.

 

Adding brands like Pounce Padel and The Retreat England into the experience brought another layer to the trip. Both are female-founded. Both understand their customer. Both create products that feel practical but still indulgent. And both aligned naturally with the kind of women joining us in Ibiza – stylish, active, curious and up for something different.

 

For us, that’s exactly what modern travel should feel like.
