Emilio Sanchez Academy Florida

Emilio Sanchez Academy Florida sits at 2035 Sanchez Casal Way, Naples, FL 34105, just off Goodlette-Frank Road and a short drive from Interstate 75. The Naples campus occupies the former Naples Bath and Tennis Club site, acquired by Academia Sanchez-Casal in 2012.

While the academy is best known internationally for its tennis programmes, padel was added to the lineup as part of the venue’s expansion into multi-racquet offerings. The campus sits within a 38-court tennis complex with on-site accommodation, an Olympic pool, performance training center, and an American school.

Visit the venue website at Emilio Sanchez Academy Florida for general academy information, or contact reception on (239) 263-1818 to confirm padel availability before travelling. The academy is also active on Instagram for current padel news.

The padel courts

The venue operates three padel courts, with the first installed as a flagship addition celebrated on the academy’s social channels. The courts use panoramic glass-wall construction in line with standard 20m by 10m international padel dimensions.

The courts sit alongside the academy’s clay and hard tennis courts on the main grounds. Court lighting allows evening play after the strong Florida daytime sun fades. The wider campus is purpose-built for racquet sports, so padel players benefit from the same surface maintenance discipline used across the tennis programme.

Booking and access

Court bookings are handled through the academy reception. Phone (239) 263-1818 or email admissions.fl@emiliosanchezacademy.com to check availability and reserve a slot. Use the contact page if you prefer to enquire online.

Live court rates and pay-and-play options are confirmed at the booking step. Players should ask about both per-court and per-person pricing when reserving. Lessons and clinic packages are also available alongside walk-in court hire.

Reception opening hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Free on-site parking is available adjacent to the main sports campus, and the academy holds a 4.5 rating on Google from 149 reviews.

Travellers can reach the venue in roughly 15 minutes from Naples Municipal Airport and about 45 minutes from Southwest Florida International (RSW). The Naples area has plenty of beachside accommodation within a short drive of the campus, and the academy itself maintains on-site apartments for longer-stay players.

Programme and social padel

Because padel is a newer addition to the academy, the social programme around the sport is still developing. The venue’s tennis side has long-running junior camps, adult clinics, ITF tournaments and the Sanchez-Casal method coaching system.

Elements of that infrastructure increasingly extend to padel sessions and introductory clinics. Visitors can check the academy’s Instagram at @emilio_sanchez_academy_fl and the Facebook page for padel mix-ins, social play events and any introductory promotions.

Coaching is available on request - see the coaching tab for confirmed tiers and pricing. A pro shop on campus stocks rackets, strings and apparel, and the on-site restaurant and cafeteria serve breakfast and lunch through the day.

Best for padel in Naples

This venue is best suited to players who appreciate a serious training environment with the convenience of on-site accommodation, restaurant, Olympic pool, fitness center, spa and sauna. The Sanchez-Casal name carries decades of high-performance racquet-sport pedigree from its Barcelona origins.

Naples players get access to a campus designed for full-day training and recovery. The venue is less ideal for players seeking a dedicated, large-scale padel club with a packed Americano calendar and a long-established mix-in scene.

With three courts inside a primarily tennis-focused academy, padel here is more about quality and setting than scale. For visiting players, the combination of year-round Florida climate, training facilities and the Sanchez-Casal racquet-sport heritage makes it a notable Naples padel stop worth booking ahead, particularly for groups combining padel with tennis or fitness sessions.

Coaching is delivered through the academy's in-house team using the Sanchez-Casal method, with private lessons and group clinics available on request alongside the tennis programme.
