Another milestone moment for Padel Travel X as we recently hosted our very first Pop-Up Travel Lounge at the launch of the new padel courts at David Lloyd Manchester.
Set within the heart of the club, the Travel Lounge brought our vision to life - creating a space where padel, travel, wellness, and community intersect.
A New Way to Experience Padel
Padel Travel X was founded on the belief that padel is more than just a sport. It’s a lifestyle, a global community, and a gateway to unforgettable experiences around the world.
The Pop-Up Travel Lounge was designed to reflect exactly that. Rather than a traditional stand or activation, the lounge offered a relaxed, welcoming environment where players and members could explore a new way of experiencing padel - through curated travel, wellness-led experiences, and destination-led storytelling.
From conversations about upcoming trips to discovering how padel can be combined with wellness, culture, and connection, the lounge became a natural meeting point throughout the launch.
Connecting With the Padel Community
One of the most rewarding parts of the experience was seeing players, partners, and padel lovers engage with the concept in person. The Travel Lounge created space for genuine conversations - about travel, shared passions, and the future of padel as a global lifestyle movement.
Moments like these reinforce why community sits at the core of everything we do at Padel Travel X.
A Collaborative Launch
We’re incredibly grateful to Sarah Williamson and the team at David Lloyd Manchester for their support and collaboration in bringing the Travel Lounge to life. Their commitment to creating premium padel experiences made this the perfect setting for our first pop-up activation.
Partnerships like this allow us to deliver meaningful experiences that add value to clubs and their members, while strengthening the connection between padel, wellness, and lifestyle.
The Beginning of Something Bigger
The launch at David Lloyd Manchester was just the start. The Pop-Up Travel Lounge is a scalable concept designed to live within padel clubs and partner spaces across the UK and beyond - adapting to each community while staying true to the Padel Travel X brand.
Our goal is simple: to meet players where they play, connect, and train, and to inspire them to take padel beyond the court.
Look out for the next Padel Travel X Travel Lounge coming soon to a club near you.
