Looking for your next padel break? These seven hotels have the courts, the coaches, and the kind of post-match atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
Padel tennis holidays are having a moment. What started as a niche sport in Spain has exploded across Europe and beyond, and now there are hotels building their reputations around it. But not all padel resorts are created equal. Some get it right: good courts, easy booking, decent coaching, and enough happening off-court that non-players don’t feel left out. These seven do.
Paradisus Bali — Bali, Indonesia
Paradisus Bali is located on a quieter section of Nusa Dua’s coast. Here, you can hear temple bells floating through tropical gardens, and paths lead down to the beach. The design takes inspiration from traditional Balinese courtyards, featuring open-air spaces that capture the sea breeze. It’s a laid-back tropical vibe with long breakfasts, no shoes needed, and no one in a hurry. The lagoon rooms are particularly appealing; you can step off your terrace right into the water.
Why we love Padel here?
The resort has padel courts nestled among palm trees. The sea breeze helps keep things comfortable, even during midday. Private lessons are available, or you can just show up and join a game. The sports team handles everything, so you won’t need to track anyone down.
Ideal time to travel
April to September for dry season, which means actual sun and calm water.
From €135/night
Robinson Cala Serena— Mallorca, Spain
Robinson Cala Serena has a blend of pine trees and the Mediterranean Sea. It’s located on a peninsula with direct beach access and stunning views that everyone wants to capture in photos. People come here to stay active – playing on the courts in the morning, enjoying bikes or the beach afterward, and then gathering for sundowners, often with someone strumming a guitar. The community vibe feels natural and welcoming. The WellFit Spa takes care of recovery, coastal trails wind through the pine trees, and the sea terrace is the spot for tapas and local wine.
Why we love Padel here?
Three padel courts complement the resort’s extensive tennis program (12 tennis courts total). Certified coaching available, and the resort runs friendly tournaments and group sessions. Beginners get looked after, better players can find their level easily. Court use is included for guests.
Ideal time to travel
June to September for guaranteed sun, May and October for quieter beaches and softer light.
From €130/night on low-season weekdays, for the Double Room.
Kuredu Island Resort- Maldives
Getting to Kuredu means a 40-minute seaplane from Malé, landing on a private island where white sand meets water so blue it looks fake. Active but never hectic is the vibe—morning matches, afternoon swims, evening drinks with live music. People come here to do things but at island pace. Everything’s walkable: six-hole golf course, tennis by the beach, yoga sessions, Duniye Spa when you’ve overdone it. You’re wearing flip-flops 24/7.
Why we love Padel here?
Three floodlit courts surrounded by tropical jungle. Evening doubles under the stars become routine pretty quickly. Coaching is solid, and the sports team will match you with players at your level without any awkwardness. The resort’s padel setup is one of the best in the Indian Ocean.
Ideal time to travel
November to May for the best weather. Shoulder months (May, October) are quieter but just as nice.
From €525 per night, including breakfast, for the Suite.
Mourataglou — Biot, France
Part of the famous Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, this sits in the hills above Antibes with Mediterranean pines and views toward the coast. Half sports academy, half Riviera resort—people train hard then recover harder. Olive trees everywhere, everything feels accessible. Full fitness setup, yoga, pilates, proper spa with hydrotherapy. L’Emblème does Mediterranean food that’s both elegant and filling, which is what you want after three hours on court.
Why we love Padel here?
Four glass-walled courts inside the sports complex, positioned to catch that late afternoon light which honestly makes every game better. The setup attracts both serious players and holiday types, creating a good mix of competition and camaraderie.
Ideal time to travel
April to October. Summer gets hot but manageable.
From €254per night, for the Superior Room
The Magnolia Hotel – Algarve, Portugal
The Magnolia has this retro 1950s motor lodge aesthetic that somehow works, positioned perfectly near Quinta do Lago’s sports hub. It’s small, friendly, bright and social with good poolside energy. Not trying to be something it’s not, just doing boutique hotel well. Heated pool gets busy post-match, golf nearby, cycling through Ria Formosa if you want nature, and proper Portuguese food that doesn’t cost a fortune.
Why we love Padel here?
Guests get access to The Campus, which has professional-level padel courts, coaching, clinics, and recovery facilities. You get 15% off the day pass. So you stay somewhere characterful but play somewhere world-class. The Campus is a five-minute ride from the hotel.
Ideal time to travel
April to October for reliable sunshine and good conditions for sport and sea..
From €128 per night for a spacious Double Room with a garden view
Puento Romano – Marbella, Spain
Puente Romano lives on Marbella’s Golden Mile with gardens, courtyards, fountains, and beach access. It’s sprawling but in a good way. Sport, sea, food, music, repeat – people take their tennis and padel seriously here but not at the expense of enjoying themselves. Six Senses Spa for recovery, multiple restaurants (some quite fancy), live music most nights in the plaza, beach loungers when you need a break from being vertical.
Why we love Padel here?
The Tennis & Padel Club features four glass courts with floodlights for night play. Coaching available, social matches happen organically, and they host proper tournaments like the Reserve Cup. If you’re into padel tennis holidays, this is one of the European anchors. The club attracts both local players and international visitors.
Ideal time to travel
March to June or September to November. Summer’s hot for midday rallies.
From €540 per night, including breakfast, for the Junior Suite
Foxhills Clubs and Resort – Chertsey, UK
Four hundred acres of Surrey woodland, lakes, and golf fairways. Close enough to London to feel accessible, far enough to actually feel like countryside. Country club done properly – mix of sport and quiet, people read by fires, walk woodland paths, play golf, get massages. It’s not stuffy. Two golf courses, pool, cycling trails, wellness club. The brasserie does British classics with local ingredients. No Mediterranean sun but proper English charm instead.
Why we love Padel here?
Padel courts are a newer addition to the resort’s extensive racket-sport program. Courts are excellent, coaching team knows what they’re doing with private lessons and group clinics available. One of the few places in the UK where you get padel, golf, and a full spa at the same address.
Ideal time to travel
May to September for long days and best outdoor weather.
From €220 per night, including breakfast, for the Suite.
What Actually Matters in a Padel Holiday
We’ve played at dozens of places. Here’s what separates good padel hotels from mediocre ones:
- Court quality matters more than you think. Surface, glass walls, proper dimensions—it affects your game and your enjoyment.
- Coaching flexibility is key. Some people want intensive clinics, others just want tips. Best places offer both.
- Match arrangements shouldn’t be complicated. Good resorts either have a sports team sorting games or enough players that it happens naturally.
- Recovery facilities are non-negotiable. Spa, pool, decent beds. Your body needs them.
- Off-court appeal keeps groups happy. Not everyone plays at the same level, not everyone wants to play all day.
Whether you’re booking your first padel break or you’re already converted and hunting for new courts, these seven hotels understand what active travelers actually want: less fuss, more play, and spaces that make recovery feel as good as the game itself.
