Google Trends data reveals a significant upward trajectory in global interest for padel, with search volume nearly doubling since early 2023.
Most revealing is the rate of padel interest and search behaviour in the United States market, where interest has shown exceptional growth since early 2023. Though starting from a smaller base, this upward trend in American search interest suggests potential future growth for this amenity in U.S. luxury real estate developments.
This growing enthusiasm for the racquet sport, a hybrid between tennis and squash, is reflected in JamesEdition’s proprietary market data, which reveals a significant presence of padel courts in luxury property listings worldwide. Our team explores where padel is thriving in luxury real estate, offering insights for investors watching this trend in premium property development.

The concentration is particularly notable in coastal regions, where the map data indicates 191 active listings mentioning padel courts along Spain’s Mediterranean coast and Portugal’s Algarve region. This regional dominance reflects padel’s cultural heritage within these markets.
