Club Bacocho

Back in padel’s home nation lies this wonder of a club. Infinitely relaxed, the barefoot lifestyle will translate into complete focus on the court. Whilst much more than just a padel club, Bacocho is at heart a padel venue like no other.

Padel perfection on the Oaxacan coast

If you were to think that a padel-induced sweat and relaxation on the beach were polar opposites, you wouldn’t be the first to do so. This cat-and-mouse game of racket and ball that we at Club Águilas so dearly love is often difficult to associate with serenity and leisure due to its high tempo and competitive nature, and trying to combine the two might appear foolish or borderline nonsensical. Yet, located on Mexico’s Pacific coast is the ad hoc sprawl of tumbledown bars, shoes-optional restaurants and increasingly stylish hotels which make up the town of Puerto Escondido. What began as a surf mecca is now home to much more than just the small collection of hippies who popularised the area in the 70s. With padel’s Mexican heritage, it only seems fitting that the town is home to a club befitting the relaxed nature of the surroundings. Now, how does this fast-paced maverick sport blend in with the ultra slow surfer lifestyle? Well, let us introduce Club Bacocho. Their mission? To sublimate the most maverick of sports – padel – into the town of Puerto Escondido whilst maintaining a naturalistic, tranquil ambiance and offering the finest dining in the most extraordinary of settings. 

This ambitious goal underlines Club Bacocho’s credentials as a renowned location for padel purity and relaxational delights. From hosting the 2024 Champions Cup – featuring North and South America’s best – to promoting the development of newcomers, Club Bacocho’s vibrant beach spirit ensures that all who experience it are left mesmerised by what the club has to offer. If a post-padel, beach-side cocktail in front of the sunset is up your street, Club Bacocho will certainly be the right fit for you.
