Day 1

Your Adriatic escape begins the moment you arrive at Split Airport, where a private transfer brings you to the waterfront for a spectacular speedboat journey across the Adriatic to the island of Šolta. In just thirty minutes the mainland slips away, replaced by turquoise waters, scattered islands and the relaxed rhythm of the Dalmatian coast. Upon arrival at the resort, there is time to settle in, take in the sea views and step onto the courts for relaxed free play. It is the perfect opportunity to loosen the legs after travel, enjoy the first rallies of the trip and begin to feel the energy of the week ahead. As evening settles over the island, guests gather for a special welcome dinner on property. Prepared by a private local chef, the menu celebrates the flavours of the Dalmatian coast, with fresh seasonal ingredients, local wines and sweeping Adriatic views creating a memorable start to the journey.

Day 2

The first full day on Šolta brings the Rally & Roam training camp to life on the courts at Padel Šolta Resort. Across two structured sessions totalling around four hours of court time, players work closely with professional coaches on the key elements of the modern padel game. Morning training focuses on positioning, confident net play and volley technique, with drills designed to improve movement, defensive play off the glass and point construction. The afternoon session shifts into coached match play, allowing players to put the morning’s lessons into action in a dynamic and competitive environment. After time on court, the rhythm of island life takes over. Cool off with a swim in the clear Adriatic or relax by the sea before heading to the harbour village of Stomorska for dinner. At a traditional waterfront konoba such as Konoba Nevera, fresh seafood, local olive oils and Dalmatian wines are served beside the water, offering the perfect Dalmatian evening after a day on court.

Across two structured sessions at Padel Šolta Resort, coaches work closely with players on positioning in doubles, controlling the net and improving defensive play off the glass. Targeted drills focus on bandeja and vibora technique, transitioning from defence to attack, and building points patiently through intelligent shot selection. The sessions conclude with competitive coached match play, allowing players to apply these tactical elements in live game situations as preparations build for the tournament ahead. The afternoon shifts to the relaxed rhythm of island life. Cool off with a swim in the crystal clear Adriatic or take time to explore Šolta’s hidden coves and coastal viewpoints. As evening approaches, the group travels to the picturesque harbour of Maslinica, one of the island’s most beautiful settings. With yachts gathered in the marina and the Adriatic glowing at sunset, guests enjoy dinner at a waterfront restaurant such as Šišmiš, where fresh seafood and Dalmatian wines are served beside the sea.
