Our Review of Real Club Padel Marbella

If you're looking for one place that genuinely has it all, this is it. Real Club Padel Marbella is a massive fitness and padel complex tucked away in Nueva Andalucía, and it covers pretty much every base a parent could want. There's a huge outdoor gym under a covered canopy, a fully equipped indoor gym, ten padel courts, combat sports training areas, group classes — and that's before you get to the recovery facilities.

The post-workout setup is what really sets it apart. Hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna and a Turkish bath mean you can actually recover properly after a hard session. There's even a barbershop on site if you want to leave looking better than you arrived, and a restaurant for refuelling afterwards.

For parents, the big draw is the supervised kids' club. You can drop the children off and train without watching the clock or worrying, which makes it so much easier to actually get a proper workout in. The facilities are spread over 10,000 square metres so there's always space to find what you need, though it can get noticeably busier in the summer months.

For the combination of gym, padel, recovery facilities and childcare, it's hard to find anything better on the coast. A genuine five out of five for what it offers.
