The Society is already here. The Club will come.
Verlin begins with a private founding society, built around a shared passion for tennis, padel, fitness and wellness, and a more connected way of life. Before the first club opens, founding members shape what it becomes.
Verlin is the way of life. Built around the court. Expressed through the clubs. Elevated by the membership.
The honest beginning
Why a Society,
not a club. Yet.
Verlin isn’t open yet. What exists today is the Society — a founding community of people who’ll help shape what Verlin becomes.
Join now, and you’re not booking a court. You’re helping shape one.
From the founder
Not a hotel with courts. Not a sports club with a restaurant. A world built around the game.
I spent twenty years in hospitality, working with luxury hospitality and lifestyle brands across sales, key accounts and consulting. Five years ago I discovered tennis, and with it a new way of seeing sport, travel and connection. Verlin begins with the Society: a community that comes together through tennis, padel and wellness experiences in the UK and at destinations abroad, long before the first club opens.

World-class sport, first
Two sports.
One standard.
Tennis and padel, without compromise. One membership, two sports, a single standard of excellence.
The ecosystem
Play. Stay. Elevate.
Three pillars, one unfolding vision. Only the Society is available today; the sporting and wellness environments will belong to a future chapter.

Stay
The community · Today
Private events and a network built on shared standards — this is what the Society already offers today.
03
Elevate
Beyond the court · Future
Wellness, recovery and personal growth — part of the vision for future clubhouses.

Society membership
Verlin Society
£750/year.
The entry point, before any physical club exists. £750/year buys membership and access to the Society itself, not a guarantee of future club membership. Anyone who joins before the first club opens is a founding Society member, with the founding advantages listed below. Premium, higher-cost experiences are priced separately on top. Members pay for the specific experience they choose, not for their membership a second time.
Included in the £750/year - Access to the Verlin member platform · Member networking and community, including selected racket-sport meetups · At least four Society gatherings a year, hosted in small groups, with member entry included. Invitations are extended in turn, and each states what food and drink is provided. · Member introductions and selected partner benefits, as partnerships are confirmed · Access to Verlin content, and priority invitations to major Verlin events · Priority access to future Club membership, and Verlin Society founding member recognition · First access to the Champagne and Bronze founding windows (the limited periods when founding rates are offered), before they open to the public. Your place in the queue follows your join date.
Priced separately, only when you choose to take part: experiences connected to Verlin’s three pillars, Play, Stay and Elevate, such as tennis and padel days, weekend retreats and wellness activities, introduced over time.

A future home
Designed for life
beyond the court.
The future clubhouse will bring sport, conversation and hospitality together. It is being designed as a place where members will want to stay, long after the final point.
The long-term vision
From one Society
to many destinations.
A future network of clubs, lodges and destinations. Illustrative vision — locations still to be confirmed. A later chapter in the Verlin story, not the one being written today.
Seamless experience
The digital thread
A future platform will connect membership, experiences and access as the Verlin network grows.
One Membership.
Endless Possibilities.
Play more. Recover better. Meet extraordinary people. Belong to something bigger than one club.
