A unique opportunity to learn, play and be inspired by the true champion Gail Emms

 

Gail Emms is one of Britain’s most successful racket sport athletes. A former World Champion, European Champion and Olympic silver medallist in badminton, Gail competed at the very highest level of international sport and became known for her exceptional speed, tactical awareness, teamwork and winning mentality.

Her masterclass is not just about learning technique; it’s about understanding the game through the eyes of a champion.

 

Join Gail’s padel masterclass to:

 Learn from an Olympic medallist
 Improve your tactics, movement and confidence on court
 Discover the mindset and habits of elite athletes
 Enjoy a fun, inspiring and social experience with one of the UK’s most respected racket sport personalities

 

Your Padel Program

 

Enjoy 20 hours of padel over 5 days, with daily sessions split into 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. The program includes a strong focus on coaching, balanced with plenty of match play and finished off with a fun, friendly tournament.

Please note: Session times will be confirmed during the holiday and may vary depending on group size, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances.

 

What does Ultra All-Inclusive Board mean?

 

AKRA DIDIM festures a culinary marketplace that celebrates local authenticity through sustainable, minimally processed ingredients — blending bold flavours with a fusion of traditional and contemporary Aegean cuisine.

 

Ultra All-Inclusive means that nearly all food and beverages, including a generous selection of local and imported alcoholic drinks (except special brands), cocktails, and soft drinks, are available 24 hours a day — offering more than a standard all-inclusive board.

 

Guests enjoy a full day of dining with open buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night options, plus light bites and refreshments throughout the resort. The patisserie offers elegant pastries, snacks, and ice cream — ideal for a relaxing afternoon. Drinks are served across multiple bars, including the Tennis Bar, and minibars in the rooms are replenished daily.

FAQs Find answers to common questions about your trip, booking process, and travel details here.
  • Do I need a visa for Turkey?
    Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Some travellers can enter visa-free, while others must obtain an e-Visa or apply through a Turkish embassy. Check here: https://www.mfa.gov.tr/general-information-about-turkish-visas.en.mfa Please note that it is the traveller’s responsibility to check and meet all visa requirements. PSO Travel cannot accept responsibility for any visa-related issues.
  • Can I get help with the entry requirements for Turkey?
    We are happy to assist you with general information about the entry requirements, but it is your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements of the country you are planning to visit for your own specific circumstances.
  • Are flights included?
    Flights are usually not included in our packages. However, we’re happy to assist with booking your flights and will recommend a group flight option for ease and convenience. When travelling on the group flight, airport transfers are included.
  • What happens to my transfer when my flight changes?
    If you have booked your own flight, we will adjust your transfer time once you have let us know the new flight time. If you have booked your flight with us, we take care of everything.

    A PSO Travel representative and event team members will be staying at the venue throughout the tournament and will be available to support you at all times.
  • Am I insured with your company?
    You are financially protected through our membership with the Travel Trust Association (TTA) and, where applicable, ATOL protection. Please note that ATOL protection is provided only when flights are included in your package and does not apply to group flights. While we ensure financial protection for your booking, we strongly recommend that you arrange suitable travel and/or sports insurance for yourself and your party before travelling overseas.
  • What if I need to cancel?
    If you need to cancel, we will amend or cancel your booking and handle any refunds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for a refund, offered the option to transfer your booking to another available date, or receive a credit that can be used for a future holiday.
  • Do I need to bring my Tennis/Padel/Pickleball racket/bat/paddle along?
    Depending on the resort, you may be able to rent a racket at the Tennis Centre, but we strongly recommend bringing your own racket/bat/paddle.
  • Do I need to bring my own towels?
    The resort provides you with plenty of room towels and pool/beach towels.
  • What currency can I use in Türkiye?
    The local currency in Türkiye is the Turkish Lira (TRY) However, euros, pounds sterling, and US dollars are widely accepted in many tourist areas, hotels, and shops. We still recommend having some Turkish Lira on hand for smaller purchases, tips, or local markets. Most places accept major credit and debit cards, but American Express (Amex) is rarely accepted so it's best to have an alternative card with you.
  • Can I join your holidays if I’m travelling solo?
    Absolutely! Many of our guests travel solo, and our holidays are designed to be welcoming and social. We can offer or help match you with another solo traveller if you'd prefer to share. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people and enjoy a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
  • Can I travel with someone who isn’t playing?
    Yes, non-playing partners and family members are more than welcome! They can relax and enjoy all the resort facilities while you take part in the sports programme. We’re happy to tailor the package to suit both players and non-players to ensure everyone has a great holiday.
  • Can I book private coaching during the holiday?
    Yes, private coaching sessions are usually available during your holiday. If you’d like one-on-one time with a coach to work on specific skills or get personalised tips, just let us know in advance or speak to the team on-site. Availability may vary depending on the schedule, so early requests are recommended.
  • Can the named coach for the holiday change?
    While we always aim to deliver the coaching experience as advertised, occasionally the named coach may change due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, we will ensure that a qualified and experienced coach leads the programme, maintaining the same high standard of coaching you expect from us.
  • Can I use the courts outside of the coaching sessions?
    Court availability outside of scheduled sessions depends on the resort. At some venues, courts are free to use when not booked for coaching or events. However, some resorts may require a reservation or charge a fee.
  • Do I need to attend every session?
    Not at all. While we encourage you to join as many sessions as you’d like to get the most from your holiday, it’s completely up to you. If you're feeling tired, achy, or unwell, feel free to take a break and rest—your wellbeing comes first. Whether you want to play all day or unwind by the pool, the choice is entirely yours.
