Sunset Padel Opens as Miami Beach’s First Indoor Padel Club in Sunset Harbour
Miami Beach's elite sporting community welcomes its latest hotspot: Sunset Padel, the city’s first-ever members-only indoor padel club. Located in the vibrant Sunset Harbour neighborhood, the club is set to redefine the local padel scene with its fusion of top-tier sports facilities and an upscale social atmosphere. Founded by Gianluca Vacchi, alongside partners Chris Paciello, Michael Stern, and Rafi Gibly, Sunset Padel promises a unique blend of athletic excellence and luxurious surroundings.
“Sunset Padel represents a new pinnacle for padel in Miami Beach, merging state-of-the-art facilities with a refined, social environment. Our vision was to create a space where elite sporting performance meets exceptional luxury, setting a new standard for the game,” said Gianluca Vacchi, Co-Founder of Sunset Padel.
Nestled in Sunset Harbour, Miami Beach’s hub for health and fitness, Sunset Padel offers an unparalleled experience. The facility boasts four state-of-the-art indoor courts designed by Padel Galis, the leading padel company from Spain. A key feature is the non-blinding linear lighting, a first for Miami, ensuring optimal visibility without glare. The courts are surfaced with Mondo Turf, an advanced material that provides biomechanical support for joints and ligaments, offering players a soft and forgiving playing surface.
High ceilings enhance the indoor space, ensuring the perfect game environment no matter the weather. This attention to detail makes Sunset Padel an unmatched venue for the sport.
Beyond the courts, Sunset Padel elevates the player experience with a dedicated stretch-out area, offering recovery and flexibility support through cutting-edge fitness technology and personalized concierge services. Members can access personal stretch specialists to ensure they’re performing at their best.
The club’s sports program, led by Pablo Ibáñez, Sports Director and Head Coach, brings a wealth of expertise to members. Ibáñez, a former World Padel Tour player, was instrumental in the success of Spain’s Nueva Alcántara Club, which was crowned the World’s Best Club in 2023.
Sunset Padel’s design echoes the ambiance of an exclusive members-only club. The dark courts are accented by terracotta hues, and the interiors feature high-quality materials, including luxurious wood paneling, bars, and counters. The design seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetic sophistication, elevating the typical sports facility into a high-end social space.
Amenities include spa-inspired showers in opulent changing rooms, a curated pro shop offering premium gear from Padel Nuestro, and a juice bar serving health-conscious beverages. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to meet the refined tastes of its members.
“Sunset Padel’s purpose is building a community with like-minded people who love the sport and want to be in a social setting no matter their playing level,” said Chris Paciello, Co-Founder of Sunset Padel.
“We are proud to offer Miami Beach a facility that not only meets but exceeds the highest expectations in both design and functionality,” added Rafi Gibly, Co-Founder of Sunset Padel.
With its combination of cutting-edge sporting facilities, luxurious design, and community-focused environment, Sunset Padel is set to become the go-to destination for Miami’s padel enthusiasts. This exclusive club is more than just a place to play; it’s a place to connect, recover, and elevate the padel experience to new heights.
