Padel – the fast-growing racket sport that blends elements of tennis and squash – has become more than just a fitness trend. 

Across the globe, luxury resorts and city hotels are weaving the sport into their experiences, allowing travellers to combine active pursuits with stylish getaways. Whether you’re beachside in Malaysia or surrounded by Alpine peaks in Switzerland, padel offers an energising way to engage with your destination. 

Here are seven premium stays equipped with luxurious padel courts where you can serve up something extra on your next holiday.
