Adare Manor, Padel Club, Ireland
When padel meets great architecture. Heaven.
The Adare Manor Padel Club is a dream for those who appreciate beautiful architecture… and Good padel. The Padel Club building was thoughtfully designed by Healy Partners to sit seamlessly amongst the lush green woodland of the estate.
Wood, glass and limestone were selected to make sure that the courts feel part of the landscape that can be enjoyed from the east facing low level windows which bring a considered filtered light to the courts.
Whether you're staying at the manor or visiting for a day, the Adare Manor Padel Club provides a unique blend of architecture and sport, making it a must-visit destination for padel and design enthusiasts alike.
Beyond Padel
It should be said the Manor is much more than just a padel destination. Once the private home of the Earls of Dunraven, the magnificent 19th-century neo-Gothic mansion has been lovingly restored to preserve its historic charm while adding the finest modern touches. It was also just voted The No.1 Resort in the World by Condé Nast Traveler.
You’ll be knocked sideways by the grandeur of the estate, the sweeping driveways, that stunning stone façade, and those perfectly manicured gardens that stretch across 840 acres of parkland and woodlands. The architectural details alone—like the intricate stone carvings and expansive windows—hint at the luxury that lies within.
A World of Luxury Awaits
The interiors are a perfect balance of old-world elegance and contemporary sophistication, featuring grand staircases, sumptuous furnishings, and stunning chandeliers. Each room is thoughtfully designed to ensure your zen levels are cranked up to maximum comfort. It’s the perfect place to relax in front of a cozy fireplace or enjoying the breathtaking views of the River Maigue from one of the many windows.
For those seeking the ultimate relaxation, Adare Manor's award-winning La Mer Spa is an absolute must. A literal sanctuary of peace and rejuvenation, the spa uses the fanciest La Mer products to deliver personalised treatments that will leave you feeling refreshed and pampered. Indulge in a massage, facial, or a holistic treatment before retreating to the peaceful spa lounge, where you can unwind and soak in the vibe.
Culinary Excellence
The culinary team, led by Michelin-starred chef Michael Tweedie, curates menus that celebrate the best of Irish produce. Whether you’re enjoying a gourmet meal at The Oak Room, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, or savouring something a bit lighter in The Drawing Room, you can expect impeccable service and dishes that are as gorgeous to look at as they are delicious.
Afternoon tea at The Gallery is another highlight, set in one of the most beautiful rooms in the manor, with towering vaulted ceilings and windows. Follow in the traditions of the Dunravens by tucking into delicate pastries, finger sandwiches, and freshly brewed tea in such a grand setting is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the grandeur of the estate.
World-Class Golf and Outdoor Adventures
Adare Manor is also home to one of the most prestigious golf courses in the world. Designed by the legendary Tom Fazio, the 18-hole championship course offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for golf enthusiasts of all levels. The course, set against the backdrop of the stunning estate, is meticulously maintained and has earned a reputation as one of Ireland's finest, recently chosen as the host venue for the 2027 Ryder Cup.
In addition to golf and padel, Adare Manor offers a variety of outdoor activities that allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the estate. Enjoy horseback riding through the countryside, take a boat trip on the River Maigue, or explore the estate’s woodlands on foot or by bike. Clay pigeon shooting, archery, and falconry are also available for those looking to experience something a little different during their stay.
