The magic of Padel is bewitching the whole world. Padel is a wildly addictive sport—anyone can swing a racquet to paradise. It has also become a lifestyle.
Padel, born in 1960s Mexico, has evolved from a backyard invention to a global sensation. It’s now one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, particularly booming across the Middle East and Europe. Spain leads the charge with over 20,000 courts and more than four million players, making Padel second only to football in popularity. But Asia isn’t far behind. Indonesian cities, such as Jakarta and Bali, have taken part.
As the sport’s profile soars, so too does the prestige of the places you can play.
Luxury resorts, alpine retreats, and even historic churches are being reimagined as sanctuaries of spin and finesse. Ready to rally in style? We’ve gathered a list of some of the world’s most scenic padel courts for anyone who appreciates luxury travel, elite sports, and a bit of flair.
