New to padel? Well, to put it simply, it’s a hybrid of squash and tennis. And it’s usually played in doubles on an enclosed court.

It’s not hard to see why padel tennis is now offered in luxury hotels across the world. It’s quick to pick up, it’s suitable for all ages and skill levels, and it’s social.

Q: What is padel tennis?
A: Padel is a fun and fast-paced racket sport which has seen a sharp rise in popularity in recent years. It combines elements of tennis and squash.
