WESTLAKE, Fla. — The nation’s largest indoor padel club is set to open in Palm Beach County on Sept. 20, 2025, introducing one of the world’s fastest-growing sports to South Florida.
Xcel Padel’s flagship facility in Westlake will feature 10 AI-powered courts, along with a French casual restaurant, a wellness recovery room and spa-style locker rooms. Designed as a hub for both athletes and families, the club blends competitive play with luxury amenities more often found at high-end fitness centers.
Padel, a racket sport combining tennis and squash, is played on enclosed glass-walled courts with solid paddles in doubles format, using tennis scoring. The sport originated in Mexico in 1969, took off in Spain and Argentina, and now counts international stars such as Lionel Messi, Serena Williams and David Beckham among its fans.
Xcel Padel leaders say the new facility will give players of all levels opportunities to experience the fast-paced, social game while also creating a community destination for dining, wellness and recreation.
