Santa Monica Proper Hotel
Where Wellness Moves Outdoors
Our sports programming moves beyond the studio, inviting guests to train, recover, and reconnect across Santa Monica’s parks, beaches, and courts. From tennis and padel to hikes, volleyball, and coastal runs, each session is designed to build strength, support recovery, and create space for presence.
Tennis
Through our partnership with LA’s premier tennis coaches, we offer a best-in-class program tailored to your level and goals. Private instruction, live-ball clinics, and tournament-style play are held at top-tier courts throughout the city. Instruction is consistent, high-quality, and fully aligned with your pace.
Proper Padel
The fastest-growing racquet sport in the world finds a natural home here. Our partnership with PadelUp brings weekly clinics, tournaments, and guided play to a sport that blends the strategy of tennis with the intimacy of squash. All levels welcome, curiosity encouraged.
Beach Tennis
In partnership with Ola Beach Tennis, we bring the court to the coast. This hybrid sport combines the control of tennis with the movement of beach volleyball for a high-energy, full-body workout, set against Santa Monica’s iconic shoreline.
Run Club
From oceanside sunrise jogs to training runs through Santa Monica’s charming neighborhoods, our Run Club invites all levels to move in rhythm with the city. Coaching is available for everyone, from beginners to marathoners, including those training for our Proper Club team in the Santa Monica Marathon.
Guided Hikes
Explore Santa Monica’s wilder side through curated hikes that wind through coastal trails and mountain paths, designed for accessibility, beauty, and the kind of presence only nature can inspire.
Beach Volleyball
Dig, dive, and rally with us just steps from the hotel. Our guided beach volleyball sessions begin with intention-setting and warm-up and evolve into community-led games with views that stretch from pier to horizon.
