How much does a padel holiday cost?

Good news: padel is one of the most affordable travel sports. But how much should you budget for a successful stay? Here are the main cost items and our tips to optimise your budget.

The cost items

A padel holiday budget has four main items, whose weight varies by destination and length.

• Accommodation: by far the main item, especially in a group.
• Court rental: surprisingly low once split four ways.
• Transport: flight or drive, variable by distance and season.
• Extras: equipment, restaurants, activities, possible lessons.

The cost of courts

This is padel's pleasant surprise: renting a court split between four players comes to a few euros per person per hour. Even playing two or three times a day, this item stays modest in the overall budget.

Accommodation, the real lever

Accommodation is the bulk of the spend. By choosing a home close to the clubs and shared among everyone, you cut both the cost per person and on-site transport. Off-peak periods bring rates down significantly.

The best budget tip: a single home for the group, close to a club, off-peak. You save on everything at once.

Our tips to lower the budget

A few simple habits ease the bill without spoiling the fun.

• Travel in a group and share accommodation and courts.
• Favour spring or autumn, cheaper than summer.
• Book flights and lodging early for the best deals.
• Rent equipment on site rather than paying for an extra bag.

In short

Padel makes a sports holiday accessible: the game costs little, and it is mainly accommodation and transport that size the budget. By playing as a group and aiming for the right season, a padel holiday stays an affordable getaway.
