The World’s Most Beautiful Hotel Padel Courts Set in Nature

Once confined largely to private clubs, padel has become an essential part of the modern resort experience. From a private Red Sea island to the gardens of Saint-Tropez and the Alpine landscape of St. Moritz, these hotel courts place the world’s fastest-growing racquet sport in some of travel’s most remarkable settings — proving that where you play can transform how you play.

One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives

At One&Only Reethi Rah, padel comes with an Indian Ocean backdrop and coaching from an ATP/WTA-level professional. Private lessons, group sessions, clinics and tournaments invite every ability onto the court, while 122 villas open directly onto white sands or the turquoise lagoon.

Airelles Château de la Messardière, France

Hidden among the lush gardens of Château de la Messardière, two new padel courts bring a playful rhythm to Saint-Tropez. Guests arrive by electric golf cart, play for a recommended 90 minutes, then retreat to dedicated changing cabins before lingering over healthy snacks and drinks in the tranquillity of the grounds.

Le Club des Douars, Morocco

In the hills outside Essaouira, Le Club des Douars places four padel courts among argan trees, gardens and the ochre tones of the Moroccan countryside. More than simply a beautiful place to play, the dedicated club combines padel with Pilates, yoga and wellness, making it particularly appealing for travelers who like their holidays active, but not too active.

Badrutt’s Palace, Switzerland

High in St. Moritz, padel acquires a distinctly Alpine edge at Badrutt’s Palace. Open year-round, the new court pairs World Padel Tour-approved turf with acoustic glazing that reduces noise by more than 30 decibels. Equipment rental, partner matching and expert instruction make playing effortless, though the dramatic mountain backdrop may prove rather distracting.

One&Only Aesthesis, Greece

Framed by protected pine groves and Glyfada’s turquoise shoreline, One&Only Aesthesis brings padel to the Athenian Riviera with resident LUX Tennis professionals. Private lessons, children’s clinics and social matches welcome every age and ability, combining ATP-, WTA- and ITF-level coaching with a beachfront setting just minutes from Athens.

Zannier Bãi San Hô, Vietnam

Deep within 98 hectares of wild Vietnamese coastline, Zannier Bãi San Hô hides a padel court among palm and bamboo groves. One of Vietnam’s most remote places to play, the court sits within a landscape of forested hills, ancient rice paddies and a kilometre-long white-sand beach. Afterwards, the private coral bay and Hoa Sen Spa make a convincing case for staying off court.

Hotel Pitrizza, Italy

Up in the hills above Hotel Pitrizza, padel comes with a distinctly Costa Smeralda sense of place. The hotel’s court offers an active counterpoint to days spent beside its granite saltwater pool or secluded beach below, where sculpted rocks meet famously turquoise Sardinian water. A morning match followed by the Mediterranean? There are considerably worse routines.

Rosewood Phuket, Thailand

Surrounded by tropical greenery, Rosewood Phuket’s dedicated padel court brings the game to one of Thailand’s most seductive coastal retreats. The 43-acre resort stretches along 600 meters of secluded Emerald Bay beachfront, with private padel classes available for those wanting more than a casual match. Afterwards, the Andaman Sea and Rosewood’s Asaya wellness concept make a compelling recovery plan.

Shebara Resort, Saudi Arabia

On a private island in the Red Sea, Shebara’s padel court brings sport into a striking coastal landscape of white sand, turquoise water and mirrored villas. Designed for players of all levels, it offers an active counterpoint to the resort’s serene, nature-led setting.

Puente Romano Beach Resort, Spain

On Marbella’s Golden Mile, Puente Romano’s celebrated tennis club features eight floodlit glass padel courts and professional coaching for different playing levels. Beyond the court, a fully equipped Technogym, massage rooms, sauna and Turkish bath create a comprehensive setting for training and recovery, complemented by a clubhouse restaurant and café.
