We are XPI

Xcellent Padel Ibiza

Curated padel tournament experiences on the White Island –  where sport meets sunshine, style and standout hospitality.

At XPI, we specialise in hosting unforgettable padel trips in Ibiza for UK clubs, corporate groups and individuals. Our bespoke trips blend top-quality courts and expert coaching with boutique hotels, vibrant dining spots, and beachside downtime.

 

What makes us different? Our local player network on the island means we can match you with compatible players for tournaments and match play at every level — from beginners wanting extra coaching, to intermediate groups, all the way through to high-level competitors seeking serious gameplay. You bring your team. We bring the right opponents.

 

With deep Ibiza knowledge and our XPI Black Book full of the island’s best-kept secrets; from Punt Groc to Hotel Mongibello, from hidden beach clubs to legendary nights at Pikes… we create the kind of padel experience you’ll talk about long after your journey home.
