Why padel, why now

One of the fastest-growing sports in the world is only just arriving in our markets.

Padel is easy to pick up, social by design and played in doubles on an enclosed court. It has taken off across Europe and South America. Western Canada, the Caribbean and Australia/NZ are early on the same curve, with very few purpose-built clubs.

01

Easy to start

First-timers rally within minutes, which makes it welcoming for every age and level, from social players to league competitors.

02

Social by nature

Four players, a small court and constant conversation. It is a sport people stay for after the game, which is where a club comes in.

03

A clear first-mover window

Oceania holds just 0.4% of the world’s players. FIP estimates Australia’s court count will grow about 150% this year, and Canada’s by more than 85%.

Source: FIP World Padel Report 2026 (data to August 2026); growth rates are FIP estimates for 2026 versus 2025.

Padel is now more than a sport. It’s a movement.

One integrated destination

The six-part club program

“More than a club — a lifestyle platform. The best version of you emerges when you’re having fun.” Every Cresta club brings six parts together under one roof, sized to its community.

The first three

Three flagship clubs to set the standard

Each region opens with a flagship: the full six-part program, the regional headquarters and the proof of concept for the clubs that follow.
Belize is furthest along:

A padel-centric sport and eco-tourism resort on Ambergris Caye

A Cresta principal has entered into agreements to purchase 15 acres in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, to develop a 5-star resort built around sport, wellness and eco-tourism.

Phase 1 introduces the Belize Padel Culture Club on 3.5 acres, which also forms the core amenities for Solabrisa. With a resort next door, Cresta will also develop villas and single-family homes adjacent to the club for on-site housing ahead of the full Solabrisa development.

The club will be headquarters for Caribbean Padel Culture Clubs and home to the Belize and Caribbean Padel Associations and the Belize Padel Academy & Development Centre.

The template club: nine courts, flagship tier

Every Cresta club follows the same plan logic: a glazed court hall with the club alongside, so that every social space looks onto play. The flagship version is shown here.

Illustrative first-floor and second-floor plans of the nine-court template club: lobby, sports lounge, Great Room, pro shop, locker rooms, thermal circuit and café on the first floor; gym, studios, co-working, offices, kids' room, treatment rooms and members' lounge on the second floor, all beside the court hall
