A new approach to Paramotoring
What’s The Para Lab? It’s a question that we keep getting asked and I’m going to do my best to answer this. Simply put, The Para Lab is an all inclusive paramotor resort in Andalusia (southern Spain).
The idea came about when the owners of 2 paramotor schools got together and started discussing how things were going. Both of them had a number of frustrations and they decided to design their “fantasy paramotor school”. It had to be the most effective, safest and the most fun. That was how it all started.
We looked at instructor to student ratios and it was obvious that this was one of the big hurdles to student progression. After a lot of discussion we set a minimum of 1 instructor for every 2 students (often it’s even lower than that) which meant that students get lots of attention and feedback.
Only the very latest equipment is used because it’s much more reliable and easier. Each student needs their own full set of equipment so we have 10 full sets. Because we have so much equipment that we can offer a wide range of courses including beginner, qualification completion, Safaris for those who can already flyand instructor development courses. Manufacturers have used The Para Lab for R+D as well as product launches.
Weather is always a limitation in the UK and while you can get good spells, it’s just too unpredictable. We looked at lots of places but settled on Andalusia because the weather is very consistent. We were lucky enough to find a stunning villa with a private airfield less than 3 minutes away.
Everything has been provided to make it as easy as possible and you’ll just pay a single price. You will have a private room in our villa, all meals and drinks, all fuel, site fees and everything else.
We operate The Para Lab in October and February each year and still have some spaces for October 2025.
If you’d like to paramotor, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or an advanced pilot come out and join us at The Para Lab and find out what it’s all about
1 – 8 February 2025 – 1 space remaining
All of the rest of the February courses are now full but we will be back in September and October 2025 so register your interest early
