Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, one of the Dominican Republic’s most exclusive destinations, celebrated the opening of two new padel courts at its Racquet Center on August 15. The inauguration took place with a friendly tournament that brought together community members, marking a milestone in the evolution of this prestigious sports center.

With the addition of these new facilities, Casa de Campo’s Racquet Center now features four padel courts, doubling its previous capacity. This expansion allows for larger tournaments and provides a broader range of available times to meet the growing demand from clients.

Padel, a rapidly growing sport in the country, benefits from an infrastructure that supports play at any time of day. The Racquet Center’s courts are fully illuminated, enabling players to enjoy the sport even at night, with available hours from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
