Smash, Steam, Flow, Feast

One Day Retreat & Exclusive Supper at Chef Ruth Carey’s Home

The Itinerary

  • 14:30 – 16:30 | Padel Americano: Dive into a super friendly, social tournament. Don't worry about your skill level—the 'Americano' format means you’ll constantly rotate partners and opponents, so it’s all about having fun, mixing it up, and playing with everyone.

  • 17:00 – 18:00 | Private Sea Scrub Sauna: Time to unwind with uninterrupted sea views at Whitstable Harbour. We’ve timed this perfectly with high tide, meaning we can step straight out of the steamy sauna and plunge right into the sea. Champion's perk: Special Sauna Hat to keep!

  • 18:30 – 19:45 | Uplifting Yoga with Dan: We'll move into the studio for a beautiful, uplifting practice designed specifically to stretch out those hardworking padel muscles. You’ll leave the mat feeling lighter, more flexible, and deeply relaxed. Completely beginner-friendly, too.

  • 20:00 – 22:00 | The Closing Feast with Chef Ruth Carey: Conclude your day at the private home of local Chef and padel fan, Ruth Carey. She’s opening her doors to host an intimate, vegetarian supper celebrating the finest Kent produce. Toast the day and connect over a spectacular 3-course surprise menu, featuring RuLu’s signature dishes. Why vegetarian? Good for the planet, good for the soul.
