Leg One: Announcing Our First Q Series Trip — Crete

Every journey starts somewhere. For QOD, it starts in Crete. We're delighted to announce Leg One of The Q Series — our first ever tour, and the opening chapter of the Dropshot Worldwide Padel Tour. From 1st–4th October 2026, a group of 24 will join us at the stunning Nana Princess Resort for four days of padel, sun, and everything in between.

Why this matters

QOD was built on a simple idea: bring together the people who love this game with the kind of experiences they actually want — exceptional courts, exceptional places, and genuinely good company. Crete is where that idea becomes real. It's the first time we get to put everything we've been building — the club, the community, the standard we hold ourselves to — into an actual trip, with actual people, on actual courts.

We couldn't be prouder to be starting here.

The destination

Nana Princess sits on Crete's northern coast — a five-star resort with sweeping sea views, six dedicated courts, and exactly the kind of setting that makes a padel trip feel like more than just a padel trip. Private terraces, an infinity pool that runs straight into the horizon, and Cretan hospitality that needs no introduction.

What's in store

Four days, built around padel but never just about padel:

• Day one — private group check-in, three hours of rolling court time with instructor sessions across six courts, and welcome drinks and dinner to kick things off properly.
• Day two — a full day of coached play, split across morning and afternoon sessions, with plenty of downtime to enjoy the resort in between.
• Day three — our final competition, followed by an afternoon private catamaran sail along the coast, food and drink included.
• Day four — optional padel for those who can't get enough, before flights home.

Our exclusive partner

Leg One — and the whole Q Series — is proudly powered by Drop Shot, one of Spain's most respected padel brands and our headline partner for the tour. Expect their equipment and expertise woven through every leg of this journey.

Limited places

We're keeping this one intimate — just 24 places, at £2,495pp, including flights, accommodation, transfers, and the full itinerary above. QOD members get priority booking and preferential rates, so if you're already part of the club, get in touch first.

This is only the beginning. Five more legs follow over the next year — Dubai, Surrey, Spain, France, and Sicily — but every tour has to start somewhere, and we couldn't have picked a better place than Crete.
