In a groundbreaking addition to the Hamptons’ elite leisure scene, Privé Padel has officially launched its first luxury padel courts at the iconic Montauk Yacht Club. This high-profile opening marks the debut of padel in Montauk and signals a major evolution in how sport, lifestyle, and luxury converge in the U.S.
Located in one of the East Coast’s most prestigious destinations, Privé Padel brings an elevated sporting experience to Montauk, fusing cutting-edge facilities, bespoke wellness activations, and a vibrant social calendar—all against the stunning coastal backdrop of Long Island. The brand’s expansion into the Hamptons solidifies its vision of transforming padel from a rising global sport into a high-end lifestyle movement.
A Vision That Redefines Sport and Leisure
Privé Padel was co-founded by Nicholas Solarewicz, a former professional tennis player and finance executive, and Christopher Moore, a seasoned wellness entrepreneur and Montauk local. Together, they imagined a space that extends beyond sport—a place where community, luxury, and holistic wellness intersect.
“We’ve always seen padel as more than just a sport,” said Solarewicz. “It’s an opportunity to build community, to travel with intention, and to celebrate life through movement, connection, and design.”
At the heart of this vision are two Spanish-built padel courts, designed to world-class standards and offering players an elite setting for competition and camaraderie. With smooth synthetic turf, professional-grade lighting, and luxury amenities, Privé Padel sets the new benchmark for padel in the U.S.
What Is Padel, and Why Now?
Padel is a doubles-based racquet sport that combines the best elements of tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court where rebounds off the walls are part of the game. Its fast pace, easy learning curve, and inherently social nature have made it one of the fastest-growing sports globally.
Already a sensation in Europe, South America, and parts of Asia, padel is now gaining rapid popularity in the United States. Privé Padel’s entry into the American market at such a culturally influential location reflects both the sport’s momentum and a growing demand for experiential, community-driven luxury.
A New Lifestyle Model: Social, Sport, and Wellness
What sets Privé Padel apart is its holistic lifestyle approach. Beyond court time, the brand curates seasonal events and activations that highlight the cultural and wellness appeal of the sport. Guests can expect a mix of curated brand partnerships, wellness experiences, and high-end social gatherings.
Whether you’re sipping handcrafted cocktails post-match or networking at a sunset wellness event, Privé ensures that each moment feels tailored, intentional, and connected.
“Every activation is meant to reflect the soul of padel,” said Moore. “It’s about play, yes—but also about celebration, self-care, and the pleasure of good company.”
This ethos is especially relevant in a destination like Montauk, where discerning visitors seek more than just beautiful views—they crave memorable, immersive experiences.
Flexible Membership for Every Lifestyle
Privé Padel offers a tiered membership system designed to accommodate a variety of guest lifestyles and play preferences:
- Casual Access: Ideal for drop-in players or those trying padel for the first time. Pay-as-you-play allows spontaneous access with no commitment.
- Gold Membership: Offers discounts, guest privileges, and monthly perks such as priority access and curated wellness sessions.
- Platinum Membership: Tailored for elite guests, this level includes unlimited court time, exclusive training clinics, and VIP experiences, elevating the standard of sports membership in Montauk.
The thoughtful membership options ensure Privé is inclusive yet aspirational, appealing to both seasoned padel players and luxury seekers alike.
Privé Padel’s Global Expansion Vision
While the Montauk Yacht Club marks Privé Padel’s debut, the brand’s ambitions are global. New locations are already being scoped in Europe, the Caribbean, and luxury U.S. resorts, with announcements expected in the coming months. Strategic partnerships with high-end hotels, wellness retreats, and private estates are paving the way for a truly international padel lifestyle movement.
The company’s expansion aligns with broader travel trends that favor purposeful, wellness-oriented, and community-centric tourism. According to the Global Wellness Institute, experiential wellness travel has grown exponentially post-pandemic, with travelers seeking more interactive and meaningful journeys.
Privé Padel is poised to meet that demand—not only offering world-class courts but also building micro-communities that live and breathe sport, design, and wellness.
A Summer Destination Like No Other
As Montauk prepares for another bustling summer season, Privé Padel adds a vibrant, sport-focused dimension to the iconic destination’s offerings. With celebrities, socialites, and top athletes expected to frequent the club, the padel courts are set to become the new summer epicenter of lifestyle in the Hamptons.
Whether you’re rallying on the court, mingling at a curated brand activation, or simply enjoying the luxury of Montauk’s coast, Privé Padel invites guests to experience sport through a new lens—one of elegance, energy, and community.
