During her brief stint at the 2025 French Open, Emma Raducanu, British No. 1, opted for a luxurious Airbnb in Paris, offering a glimpse into her lavish off-court lifestyle, per Express. The 22-year-old, who defeated Wang Xinyu 6-4, 6-3 in the first round but fell to Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-2 in the second, shared Instagram posts showcasing the elegant rental, captioned, “Last few weeks in Europe: thanks to @airbnb for this beautiful stay and massage service 💆♀️,” per Sportskeeda. The property featured scenic window views of Paris on a sunny day, a grand curved staircase where Raducanu posed, and a modern curved sofa where she lounged, per @RaducanuNews.
A standout amenity was the in-house massage service, aligning with Airbnb’s new luxury offerings like spa treatments and personal chefs, available in 260 cities starting May 2025, per BBC. Raducanu, who has been managing back spasms with acupuncture and dry needling, likely benefited from the service to aid recovery, per Express. Her choice of an Airbnb over a hotel reflects a preference for personalized comfort, supported by her £10 million net worth from endorsements with Dior, Nike, and others, per Hello Magazine. Now preparing for Wimbledon, starting June 30, Raducanu’s Parisian retreat underscores her ability to blend professional demands with high-end relaxation, per BBC.
