Four covered, world-class padel courts purpose-designed for performance and luxury — in Australia's most iconic coastal region, in the world's fastest-growing sport.
Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world. With over 25 million players globally and exponential growth across Europe, Latin America, and now Australia, padel is capturing mainstream sport and leisure investment in a way not seen since tennis in the 1970s.
Australia is in the early adopter phase — the market is forming, premium venues are scarce, and first-mover operators in high-profile locations are positioned to define the category. 70 Foxs Lane is the first luxury padel destination in the Byron Bay region and among the first in regional Australia to offer a full club model with accommodation, dining, and wellness integration.
Four covered, competition-specification padel courts are nestled within the hillside at 70 Foxs Lane, overlooking the orchard landscape and the Byron Bay hinterland. Each court is purpose-designed for performance and luxury — not the standard industrial shed aesthetic of most Australian padel facilities.
The courts are designed with the same material language as the rest of the estate: natural materials, architectural detail, and integration with landscape rather than contrast to it.
70 Foxs Lane operates padel as a club model — memberships, coaching, leagues, and tournaments — embedded within a full hospitality and wellness ecosystem. Members and guests can book courts, access coaching programs, and participate in competitive leagues without leaving the estate.
Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers attracts 1.9 million visitors annually, with a significant proportion of high-net-worth leisure travellers who actively seek sport and wellness experiences in premium settings. The estate's proximity to the Byron Bay Rail Trail creates a secondary draw for active tourism — cyclists and walkers who arrive at the estate's dedicated trail access point and stay for courts, food, and recovery.
Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (25 minutes) and Gold Coast Airport (35 minutes) provide direct access from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, enabling both regional leisure members and domestic travelling players.
Padel is one of thirteen revenue pillars within the 70 Foxs Lane operating model. Court fees, coaching programs, league registrations, and tournament events generate direct revenue. Membership packages — which bundle padel access with wellness and accommodation benefits — drive recurring subscription income.
Within the estate ecosystem, padel also functions as an acquisition channel. Players who discover 70 Foxs Lane through padel become accommodation guests, restaurant diners, and wellness clients. The cross-pillar conversion dynamic materially increases lifetime value per member and per visiting guest.
The four courts are operational in Stage 1 (2026–2028), establishing the padel programme and membership base ahead of the full estate opening in 2029.
