Padel resorts in the USA are quickly becoming the new must-have amenity for luxury travelers, and this padel travel trend shows no sign of slowing down.

Located in the Santa Ynez Valley, Alisal Ranch lies 35 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, in the horse and wine country just outside the Danish community of Solvang.
Long a low-profile retreat for Hollywood elite—Clark Gable and Lady Silvia were married there—it has evolved into a 10,000-acre spread containing six tennis courts, two 18-hole golf courses, a spring-fed lake, a spa and fitness center, and miles of horseback riding trails. It also offers a solid children’s program during the summer for kids ages 4 to 16.
