Padel is the world’s most addictive social sport. Think fast rallies, lots of laughs, and walls you’re actually allowed to hit the ball into. Played in doubles on a cosy glass-walled court, it blends the best bits of tennis and squash but with easier equipment and a super-friendly learning curve. With solid rackets, a low-pressure ball, and rebounds in every direction, it’s the kind of game where even beginners feel like pros in minutes.
