Padel at Club Med

What is Padel?

Padel, also known as paddle tennis, originated in Mexico in 1969. However, it wasn’t until 1974 that the first official padel club opened in Marbella, Spain. Combining elements of tennis and squash, padel is played in doubles on a 20x10m court—slightly smaller than a standard tennis court—surrounded by glass walls. Like squash, padel allows players to use the walls to keep the ball in play, adding a unique twist. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, padel is an accessible and enjoyable sport, where basic skills can be picked up quickly, making it perfect for all ages and skill levels.

With its 2-on-2 format, padel is the perfect sport for enjoying quality time as a family, whether on vacation, over the weekend, or any day of the week. From kids to parents to grandparents, everyone can join in—no exceptions. "It’s always played in doubles, so it’s social and relaxed!" says Arnaud Di Pasquale, who discovered padel with friends. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned player, whether you ask, “What’s padel?” or step onto the court like a pro, everyone in the family can enjoy this fun, engaging sport together at their own pace.

Your all-inclusive package includes group padel lessons for all skill levels. No registration needed—just pick the schedule that works for you and head to the court!
