South Florida’s Luxury Developments Serve Up Pickleball in Style

Pickleball has officially transcended its niche beginnings, becoming the fastest-growing sport in America—and South Florida’s luxury real estate market is taking notice. With a 311% increase in participation over the last three years and demand outpacing supply, developers are stepping up, turning racquet sports into the newest symbol of luxury living.

Across Miami, West Palm Beach, and beyond, high-end condo and rental developments are elevating pickleball from casual pastime to curated lifestyle. These aren’t just basic courts tucked into a corner of the property; they’re full-scale racquet sport experiences complete with professional surfaces, stylish lounges, and even private coaching designed for residents who want to perfect their serve—or just volley with friends under the Florida sun.

Set on 184 acres between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay nearby Oleta River State Park, SoLé Mia is a fast-growing, master-planned community that is reimagining how luxury residences, nature, wellness, recreation, shopping and dining come together to create an unparalleled lifestyle. The sheer size of the property allows for its very own seven-acre swimmable lagoon and sandy beaches which encourages moments of relaxation, meditation and enjoyment of the great outdoors, as well as an onsite, two-story deluxe Reserve Padel facility, which debuted its first permanent location at SoLe Mia in January. Featuring six outdoor and four indoor purpose-built padel courts with 35-foot ceiling, the open-to-the-public facility also boasts a sauna, two dedicated pickleball courts, a gym, and local health food chain Pura Vida's largest location to-date. Spanning 100,000 square feet, the club is designed for players of all levels and offers coaching programs through the Juan Martín Díaz Academy.
