Munay Club: The Rebirth of a Sports Icon in Viladecans
Padel has established itself as one of the fastest-growing sports in recent years, becoming one of the most profitable investments in the sports sector. In this context, the legendary Club Tenis Mar de Viladecans, which was managed by the Sánchez Vicario family, has been reborn after more than a decade of abandonment. Now, under the name Munay Club, this fully renovated 12,000-square-meter space has positioned itself as a benchmark in sports and leisure in the region.
Gonzalo Belas is the sports director of Munay Club, responsible for sports management, the padel school, and the organization of tournaments and events. His main goal is to create a dynamic and social environment where players can enjoy, improve, and feel part of a special community. While the club’s facilities are of the highest level, Belas emphasizes the importance of having the right team to accompany them, ensuring that every visitor feels at home.
Interview with Gonzalo Belas
We spoke with Gonzalo Belas, who shares his personal experience in the world of padel and how, thanks to Padelgest, he has managed to improve his club with professional, high-quality padel courts, enhancing the players’ experience and establishing the club as a benchmark in the region.
Interlocutor: Gonzalo, could you tell us a little more about your relationship with the club and your experience in the world of padel?
Gonzalo Belas: Of course, I’ve been involved in padel as long as I can remember. In Argentina, my family has owned a padel club for over 30 years, so I practically grew up on the courts. From a young age, the club was like a second home to me, and over time I became more involved in the world of padel, first as a player, then as a coach, and now also in management. Munay Club is a project we’re pouring a lot of passion into, aiming to create a space where people not only enjoy padel but also experience a complete offering that combines sports, quality gastronomy, and leisure options. Always with a close-knit and personal touch, which is essential for us.
Interlocutor: According to your experience, what are the most important characteristics of a high-quality padel court?
Gonzalo Belas: For me, the most important factors for an outdoor court, like the ones at our facilities, are having good drainage, a smooth, even surface without imperfections, adequate lighting, and constant maintenance. These aspects are essential to ensure an optimal experience for the players.
Interlocutor: And, what features would you highlight about the courts installed at Munay Club?
Gonzalo Belas: What really stands out about our courts is the quality of the finishes. Thanks to the collaboration with Padelgest, we’ve been able to ensure that each court is built to the highest standards of quality. The surface is uniform, which guarantees a good bounce of the ball, and the sand distribution is perfectly balanced to avoid players slipping.
Interlocutor: Would you trust Padelgest again for the installation of more padel courts?
Gonzalo Belas: Absolutely. The work they did on our courts has been impeccable. Their experience and attention to detail have been key to making our facilities top-notch. Additionally, their ability to offer customized solutions has allowed us to create a unique space that meets our specific needs.
Interlocutor: What advice would you give to those who are thinking about creating a padel club from scratch?
Gonzalo Belas: My advice would be to work with a single company to handle both the concrete base and the installation of the artificial turf. That way, if any issues arise, you’ll have one point of contact, and it ensures greater consistency in the quality of the court. In our case, choosing Padelgest for the entire process was a very wise decision, as they provided tailored solutions that ensured the success of our facilities.
A Complete Experience and a Promising Future for Munay Club
With top-notch facilities, a committed team, and a comprehensive approach that goes beyond competition, Munay Club has solidified its place as a benchmark in the world of padel. The success of this project is not only due to the quality of its courts but also to the creation of a vibrant community that enjoys a unique environment.
