Once synonymous with Ibiza, padel has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with courts springing up across Europe, North Africa and beyond. The sport fits well within the structure of a group holiday. It is easy to pick up for beginners and can be played across different levels without frustration. It has a sociable quality that tends to pull even reluctant players onto the court before the week is out. Le Collectionist brings together six properties chosen for the padel facilities they offer across six countries, stretching from Provence and Puglia to Marrakech and the Aegean.

A court within the villa’s own grounds, available exclusively to your group, is a different proposition from one shared with guests of neighbouring properties, or a club court reached by car. For those who want to play freely, at whatever hour the morning or evening allows, exclusive access to a court on the property makes a considerable difference.
Beyond access itself, court lighting, available equipment and the option to arrange coaching do not always appear in a property description. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can verify what is available for your dates, from sports and wellness arrangements such as coaching to equipment and lighting, and ensure everything is in place before you arrive.

Le Collectionist highlights six exceptional properties from across six countries, each chosen for its on-site padel court and its suitability as a base for an exceptional villa holiday. The overviews below cover what each villa offers on and off the court, and what to confirm with your Travel Advisor before booking.
16 guests | 8 bedrooms | Private padel court, private pétanque, heated saltwater pool, Signature Collection
Mas Solera sits outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence within a Mediterranean garden, accommodating up to sixteen guests across eight bedrooms. The villa offers a private padel court and pétanque pitch alongside a heated saltwater pool and an outdoor kitchen suited to leisurely meals on the terrace. The property sits out of town without neighbours, surrounded by open countryside, giving the grounds a sense of space that larger groups tend to appreciate. Six of the eight bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can advise on room allocation before you book. The property belongs to the Signature Collection, with a dedicated concierge before and during the stay. The restaurants, markets and Provençal village charm of Saint-Rémy are five minutes away by car, offering a way to fill the hours off the court without having to look far. Beyond Saint-Rémy, the Alpilles offer limestone villages, olive groves and open countryside that reward a morning’s exploration as much as an afternoon on the court. Our Alpilles guide covers the region in detail for those who want to explore further.
11 guests | 6 bedrooms | Padel court, complimentary padel lesson, overflowing pool, Signature Collection
Can Tehani sits in the Ibiza countryside without neighbours, accommodating up to eleven guests across six bedrooms spread between the main house and a guest annex. The villa has a padel court, a fitness room and an overflowing pool, with Sa Caleta, one of the island’s most beautiful coves, eight minutes away by car. The owner includes a complimentary one-hour padel lesson for guests, a good starting point for those new to the game and a warm-up for those who already play. The property belongs to the Signature Collection, with a dedicated concierge before and during the stay. Our Ibiza guide covers the island’s southern coastline in more detail, and our Ibiza padel collection brings together further options for those still comparing properties. The pool is unheated, for cooler-month stays your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can advise on the best period to visit.
18 guests | 9 bedrooms | Private padel court, private tennis court, cook included, Signature Collection
Villa Noria sits outside Marrakech within a private domain, accommodating up to eighteen guests across nine bedrooms with a cook included for full board throughout the stay. Both the padel court and the tennis court are reserved for guests’ private use, giving the group two surfaces to rotate between across the week. A twenty-five-metre pool, hammam, jacuzzi and pétanque round out the facilities within the grounds. Marrakech’s medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is ten minutes away by car, and restaurants are five minutes away, making it easy to draw on the city while returning each evening to a property that feels entirely removed from it. Our Marrakech guide and family time in Marrakech are useful starting points for building the week beyond the property. Two bedrooms located in the lower-ground independent apartment have limited natural light. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can advise on the best room allocation for your group.
12 guests | 6 bedrooms | Padel court, panoramic valley views, nature reserve setting, Signature Collection
Casa Colina is set within a private domain in the Douro Valley, accommodating twelve guests across six bedrooms, with panoramic views across vineyards and rolling hills from the terraces that wrap around the property. For those who play regularly, the on-site padel court is an unexpected pleasure in a region where courts are few. A pool, a wooded Mediterranean garden and a billiard room complete the facilities within the grounds. The property offers a rare chance to disconnect fully, with no televisions on site. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can confirm what other entertainment options are available. The valley’s wine estates, river walks and quinta visits give the days away from the court a shape of their own. Discover the Douro Valley for a fuller picture of what the region offers.
12 guests | 6 bedrooms | Padel court, heated saltwater pool, trullo architecture, Signature Collection
Dimora Monora is a traditional trullo house outside Ostuni with a contemporary extension that holds the region’s architectural character alongside modern comfort, accommodating twelve guests across six bedrooms. The villa offers a padel court, a heated saltwater pool, a fitness room and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven within its grounds. The Puglia countryside surrounds the property on all sides, with a golf course twenty minutes away and the coast within reach for days away from the villa. Our Puglia guide covers the region’s beaches, towns and culinary scene in more detail. The property is spread across two buildings, with four bedrooms in a separate annex from the main house. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can advise on the layout before booking.
10 guests | 5 bedrooms | Padel court with sea view, private dock, infinity pool, Signature Collection
Villa Finsbury sits above the Aegean on Syros, with the sea visible from the padel court itself and the beach five minutes on foot. Ten guests across five bedrooms have access to an infinity pool, a jacuzzi and a private dock for days on the water. Syros is quieter than the more visited Cycladic islands, with its own character built around Ermoupoli’s neoclassical architecture and the kind of pace that makes a week feel longer than it is. For those who want time on the water between sessions, time on the water in Greece offers a starting point for arranging excursions. The pool is unheated. For cooler-month stays, your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can advise on the best period to visit.
Choosing the right villa, in the right destination, comes down to what the group needs beyond the court itself. The table below sets out the key differences at a glance, from the size of each property to court access. Where a detail is marked as requiring confirmation, your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can confirm before booking.

A padel holiday works best when the schedule caters to everyone in the group, whether they play every day or not at all. The most enjoyable weeks tend to find their own rhythm, with a morning session for those who want one, an afternoon at the pool or on a day out, and an evening meal that brings the group back together. Children who are new to the game and adults who play regularly can be accommodated separately when coaching is arranged in advance. Our essential services covers what can be put in place before you arrive to make sure none of this is left to chance.
Coaches, equipment and transport to nearby facilities are all available on request but are not automatically included in the rental. Explore concierge inspiration for ideas on what else the week can include, and how our concierges shape the stay for a fuller picture of how that support works in practice.
Not always. A padel court listed among a villa’s features confirms that the property has access to a court, but not necessarily that it is for the exclusive use of your group. Always check whether the court is private to the villa before booking. Your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor can verify this in advance.
Equipment availability varies by property and is not always listed on the page. Some villas include rackets and balls as standard while others do not. To avoid arriving without what you need, confirm equipment with your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor before departure. Hire can usually be arranged locally if nothing is provided at the villa.
Yes, coaching can usually be arranged on request, though it is not included in the rental and availability varies by destination and travel dates. Sessions for mixed levels, beginners and children can often be accommodated separately. Confirm availability and any additional costs with your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor ahead of arrival.
Minimum stay requirements vary by property and by season, and some villas are available on request only during certain periods. Confirming your preferred dates early gives your Le Collectionist Travel Advisor time to verify availability, check any seasonal conditions, and ensure the property is the right fit for your group before you commit.
The right padel villa comes down to more than the court. Destination, group size, playing levels and the structure of days between sessions all factor into the right decision. Le Collectionist’s Travel Advisors are on hand to help you find the property that fits the needs of your group. Get in touch with a Travel Advisor to start planning your stay.
