Overview

Padel is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is played on an enclosed court with glass and mesh walls, and the ball can be played after bouncing off the walls. The sport is usually played in doubles, making social interaction an important part of the experience.

Bali has developed a particularly active padel community. Clubs now offer more than simple court rentals, with coaching programmes, tournaments, Americano sessions, leagues, restaurants, recovery facilities, and community events available at different venues.

This makes padel easy to include in a Bali itinerary. Travellers can book a morning game, spend the afternoon exploring the island, or choose accommodation that makes playing padel part of the stay itself.

Where to Play Padel in Bali?

There are now numerous padel venues across Bali, but Ubud and Canggu are two of the most established areas for visitors looking to play.

Ubud

Ubud is particularly appealing for travellers who want to combine padel with a quieter holiday surrounded by greenery. Several clubs are now operating around the area, including Jungle Padel Ubud, Monkey Padel Bali, GODS Social Club, TAO Padel Academy, and other newer venues. Current listings show six verified padel clubs in and around Ubud.

Some options include:

Jungle Padel Ubud

Jungle Padel Ubud has international-standard courts, coaching, a restaurant, a pro shop, and regular community activities. Its current listed price is IDR 520,000 per court for 60 minutes, or IDR 130,000 per person for a four-player game. Racket rental is available from IDR 50,000.

Monkey Padel Bali Ubud

Located in Sayan, Monkey Padel Bali has three panoramic courts and a clubhouse. The venue welcomes beginners as well as experienced players and offers coaching, social games, and tournaments.

GODS Social Club

Formerly known as Padel of Gods, GODS Social Club is another option around Ubud. Current listings describe three courts, including indoor and outdoor options, with facilities such as changing rooms, showers, coaching, social play, and online booking.

TAO Padel Academy

TAO Padel Academy is another Ubud-area option, with four outdoor courts and additional facilities including a café, gym, ice bath, sauna, swimming pool, coaching, and tournaments.

Canggu

Canggu is another major destination for padel in Bali, particularly for travellers who want a larger sports community and more frequent social events.

Bali Padel Academy

This place currently operates seven courts in the Canggu area and welcomes players from first-timers through to experienced players. The centre also offers coaching, a restaurant, pro shop, infinity pool, kids’ area, and recovery facilities.

Bali Padel Academy currently lists court booking from IDR 150,000 per person for 60 minutes, with racket rental available for IDR 50,000. Prices and availability can change, so checking the venue’s current booking system before playing is recommended.

Sanur is also becoming part of Bali’s growing padel network. Jungle Padel currently lists a Sanur location, while other clubs in the area provide outdoor courts, coaching, social games, and tournaments.

For travellers staying in Sanur, playing padel can be an easy addition to a relaxed beach holiday without travelling to Canggu or Ubud.

Why Play Padel During a Bali Holiday?

Padel works particularly well as a holiday activity because it combines exercise with a social experience.

It is suitable for beginners

You do not need to be an experienced tennis player to try padel. The court is smaller than a traditional tennis court, and the sport is relatively easy to pick up at a basic level.

Many Bali clubs also offer introductory coaching, making it possible to learn the basic rules, positioning, serving, and wall play before joining a regular game.

It is a social sport

Because padel is commonly played in doubles, it is naturally suited to groups. Some clubs also organise Americano sessions, tournaments, leagues, and open matches where players can meet others and find games.

Jungle Padel, for example, provides a community system where players can create matches and find other players through its app.

It fits different travel styles

Padel can be included in several types of Bali holidays:

Friends’ trips: book a court for four people and play together.
Couples’ trips: join a social match or book a coaching session.
Family holidays: choose venues offering beginner or kids’ programmes.
Longer stays: join leagues, tournaments, or regular community games.
Wellness holidays: combine padel with yoga, gym sessions, swimming, or recovery treatments.

What You Need to Play Padel in Bali?

You do not need to bring a complete set of equipment from home.

Most established clubs provide the option to rent a padel racket, while balls are generally available as part of the playing setup or coaching session.

For a comfortable game, bring:

Comfortable sports clothing
Padel or tennis shoes with suitable grip
Water
Sun protection
A towel or change of clothes
A padel racket if you already have one

If you are travelling without equipment, check the venue’s current rental policy when booking. For example, Jungle Padel Ubud currently lists racket rental at IDR 50,000, while Bali Padel Academy lists racket rental at IDR 50,000.

How to Book a Padel Court in Bali?

Booking a padel court is generally straightforward, but the process varies between clubs.

A typical booking process is:

Choose your location. Ubud is convenient for a nature-focused holiday, while Canggu offers a particularly large padel community.
Choose a club. Compare location, court type, facilities, and coaching options.
