Team Camps

With almost two decades of experience organising camps for swimming, waterpolo, triathlon, synchro and open water teams, we believe we are the BEST in the business.

Team Training Camps at the BEST Centre

Since 2002, we’ve been creating world-class training experiences for sports teams of every level — from grassroots clubs to national squads and Olympic holding camps.

Built and run by former Olympic swimmers, the BEST Centre was designed from the ground up to provide athletes with everything they need to perform at their best. We started with a blank canvas and asked ourselves: What would the perfect training environment look like? After searching for the ideal location, we found it in Colònia Sant Jordi, Mallorca — a peaceful coastal town with sunshine, open water, and space to focus. The result is the BEST Centre: a purpose-built elite training destination that balances high performance with a relaxed Mediterranean setting.

Who We Cater For

While swimming remains the foundation of the centre, we now welcome teams from across a range of sports — including triathlon, water polo, and artistic (synchronised) swimming. Our facilities, services, and local environment are designed to help athletes and coaches concentrate fully on training, recovery, and team connection.

Swimming Teams at the BEST Centre

Over the years, the BEST Centre has become one of Europe’s most respected swim training destinations. We’ve proudly hosted national teams preparing for the Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships, alongside hundreds of local and regional clubs from across the world.

Some of the sport’s biggest names have trained in our lanes — from Olympic champions and world record holders to the next generation of rising stars. National Teams from Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, China, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and beyond have chosen the BEST Centre as their high-performance base.

Our 10-lane 50m pool, built to FINA standards, combined with year-round sunshine, excellent gym facilities, and a focused environment, make it the perfect place for teams to fine-tune race preparation, build unity, and train without distractions. Whether it’s an Olympic holding camp or a youth development trip, the BEST Centre provides everything needed to inspire and perform at the highest level.

Triathlon Training in Mallorca

Triathletes will find everything they need right on the doorstep. Our private running trails range from 2 km to 10 km, ideal for tempo, endurance, or brick sessions. The surrounding coastal roads are renowned for their smooth surfaces, light traffic, and stunning scenery — perfect for both professional training and exploration.

Our experienced staff can also provide recommended cycling routes and support logistics to help teams make the most of their time here. Whether you’re an amateur club or an international elite squad, the BEST Centre is your perfect base to discover Mallorca and elevate your performance.

Plan Your Next Training Camp

Join the hundreds of teams who return to the BEST Centre year after year. Whether you’re planning an international holding camp, a junior development trip, or a pre-season block, our experienced team will create a tailored training package to fit your sport, goals, and budget.

Train where Olympians train — at the BEST Centre in Mallorca, Europe’s leading destination for swimming and multisport excellence.

The camp was superb, very professionally organised in advance and similarly monitored by your staff once in situ. The hotel, pool and other facilities where everything we could have wished for, enabling us to have a very productive and enjoyable week.

John Rudd, Director of Swimming, Swim Ireland

We’re now on our last day of this training camp and want to really thank you for setting us up great! (yet again! You are the best!). The training facilities here where great and in a really nice atmosphere. All the people at the pool where nice and helpful as well. All the best.

Therese Alshammar, World Long Course Champion and Olympic silver medallist

It’s very easy to understand why James and Matthew selected Colonia de Sant Jordi for their new training camp site. The pool is located in a small, picturesque coastal town and is a short walk from the hotel and the city centre on the harbor. It offers the best of both worlds with quiet shops, restaurants and beach areas within walking distance but does not include diversions and distractions that would detract from the camp purpose. The new pool is state of the art and the fact that the owners are former world class swimmers enables them to anticipate our needs in advance of our enquiries. All in all, it is an ideal training camp.
