Padel Gets Its Own Global Hotel Membership Platform

Privé Padel’s new global membership platform connects padel enthusiasts with hotels and exclusive programming

Two of the biggest trends in fitness and wellness are coming together: padel and wellness tourism.

Privé Padel, a Hamptons-founded, luxury lifestyle-driven padel brand, is capitalizing on consumer interest in health-focused travel with the launch of its global membership program to create a new category of “padel-centric travel.”

The platform, Privé Passport, connects padel players with a network of over 40 specially curated premium hotels and resorts across 15+ countries including Spain, Greece, China and the UAE. Partner properties are selected based on their commitment to padel as a core guest feature — some with on-property padel courts — as well as their reputation as a top-tier hotel and/or resort.

Privé Passport enables members to plan trips worldwide that revolve around the fast-growing racket sport, while the cross-industry partnership also leverages exclusive on-site benefits to Passport members, including preferred rates, room upgrades, late checkout and resort, food and beverage, or spa, credits.

The brand has also ensured padel access for participating hotels without on-property courts, partnering with leading padel clubs in each respective city to create a multi-faceted collaboration that ensures Passport members can enjoy the sport during their stay.

“We created Privé Padel to redefine the way padel is experienced globally,” founder and president Chris Moore said. “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.“

Select partner properties will also host Privé Passport Experiences in which highly curated stays are integrated with elite padel programming, wellness and immersive retreats dependent on the destination.

Privé Padel currently boasts over 600 members across the Hamptons, New York and Miami. The brand is open to collaborating with interested partners that don’t have a padel ecosystem already to help build courts and padel programs to then integrate into the Passport program.

Padel — essentially a cross between tennis and squash — is proving to be a popular sport that’s only poised for more growth, mirroring the pickleball boom, with a wave of entrepreneurs rapidly looking to capitalize on growing interest by creating clubs, leagues and in-person events.
