Inside: Nueva Alcántara - Marbella’s Iconic Padel Club

Introduction

Marbella has long been synonymous with luxury living on Spain’s southern coast. It’s no surprise, then, that the city is also home to one of Europe’s most iconic padel destinations: Nueva Alcántara. Situated in the heart of the Costa del Sol, this club has become a reference point for players who see padel not just as a sport, but as a lifestyle deeply connected with design, community, and high performance.

A Closer Look

Founded in the 1990s, Nueva Alcántara was one of the first major padel clubs in Spain and remains a hub for both local players and international visitors. Its offering includes:

• More than 10 courts, including outdoor and covered options.
• A gym, spa, and wellness center complementing athletic training.
• Social areas, from terraces to restaurants, creating a holistic club experience.
• Professional coaching programs and tournaments that attract top talent.

Positioned at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, Nueva Alcántara continues to shape the perception of padel as part of Marbella’s luxury lifestyle.

The Connection to COCO Padel’s Vision

COCO Padel shares this belief in merging aesthetics and performance. Just as Nueva Alcántara elevated padel by embedding it within the Marbella lifestyle, we design rackets that embody uncompromising details and a modern aesthetic. Both represent a new way of experiencing padel — not just as a game, but as a cultural movement.

Looking Ahead

Nueva Alcántara highlights Europe’s leading role in defining padel culture worldwide. As the sport continues to grow, clubs like this ensure that padel is not only played, but also lived.
