Privé Padel has launched a global membership platform that links padel players with more than 40 premium hotels and resorts in over 15 countries.

The Hamptons-founded brand says the new program, called Privé Passport, is designed to create a new category of padel-centric travel by combining sport, wellness and hospitality. Partner properties include locations in Spain, Greece, China and the UAE.

Members can access preferred rates, room upgrades, late checkout and credits for food and beverage, spa or resort spending. Some partner hotels have their own padel courts, while others work with nearby clubs to give guests access during their stay.

The launch reflects the growing overlap between padel and wellness tourism, as travel companies look to meet demand for health-focused trips. Privé Padel says the platform is aimed at travellers who want to build holidays around the fast-growing racket sport.

“We created Privé Padel to redefine the way padel is experienced globally,” said Chris Moore, founder and president. “With Privé Passport, we’re building a lifestyle ecosystem where padel, travel and community converge. It allows our members to explore the world through the lens of padel, while giving hotels a powerful new way to attract a highly engaged audience.“

Some partner properties will also host Privé Passport Experiences, combining curated stays with padel programming, wellness and retreats tailored to each destination.

Privé Padel says it has more than 600 members across the Hamptons, New York and Miami. It is also open to working with hotels and partners that do not yet have padel facilities, helping them build courts and programmes for future Passport members.

Padel, a sport that combines elements of tennis and squash, has grown rapidly in recent years and is increasingly being compared with the rise of pickleball. Entrepreneurs and hotel brands are now looking for ways to turn that interest into new clubs, events and travel products.
