What is padel?

Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court, about a third the size of a tennis court. The walls are part of the game, so rallies last longer and the sport is fun from your very first session.

It is easier to learn than tennis, more social than squash and one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. That is why Dubai's padel scene is booming.

Why padel is perfect for beginners

  • Quick to pick up: most beginners play full rallies in their first session.
  • Social by nature: always played in doubles, so you meet people straight away.
  • Low impact: a smaller court and lighter rackets are easier on your body.
  • Endless fun: the walls keep the ball in play, so there is more action.
