Where to play padel in Singapore: The best places to try this fast-growing sport

Padel is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about sports around the world—and Singapore is no exception. Think of it as the perfect blend of tennis and squash. It’s fast-paced, social, and really addictive. But while it’s easy to fall in love with the game, finding a court here hasn’t always been as simple (and no, your neighbourhood badminton court doesn’t quite cut it).

Thankfully, that’s changing. With more dedicated padel facilities popping up across the island, you can now rally, smash, and sweat it out without leaving the city. Whether you’re already hooked or just curious to give it a go with your friends, here’s where you can play padel in Singapore.

What is Padel?

Imagine tennis and squash teaming up to create a new sport—that’s padel in a nutshell. Played on a compact court enclosed by glass walls, it combines the best of both worlds: the intensity of tennis with the strategy and rebound play of squash.

Players use a solid, short-handled paddle and a pressurised ball, serving underhand to keep the game flowing and accessible for everyone. It’s fast and surprisingly easy to learn, which is why it’s quickly becoming the go-to sport for anyone looking to break a sweat while having fun.

Prime Padel

Prime Padel now has two locations: one at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel and its newest at Sherwood Road in Dempsey. The Grand Copthorne branch features three beautiful courts on the hotel’s sixth floor, where you can enjoy sweeping city views as you play. Over at Sherwood Road, you’ll find Asia’s first Open Court designed for elite “out-of-court” play, along with six training courts that cater to both recreational and competitive players.

And if you’re in the mood for something different, the team also hosts regular pickleball nights — a fun way to rally, socialise, and meet new people.

Each session costs around $20, which includes racket and ball rentals, plus two hours of court time. Professional guides are also on-site to help you get into the swing of things. Whether you’re a seasoned player or simply looking for a new sport to try with friends, MBP Sports Centre is a great place to play and connect.

Singpadel

SingPadel is a dream come true for anyone who prefers to stay out of the sun. With its fully sheltered courts, you can play comfortably without worrying about heat or sunburns. The venue features six courts to choose from, along with classes to help you sharpen your padel skills. They also offer paddle rentals and even have a retail corner where you can pick up your own gear.

The only catch? There’s just one location — at 2 Jurong Gateway Road — so it’s an especially convenient spot if you’re based in the West.

Both venues offer classes for all ages, including kids keen to pick up a new skill, as well as beginner-friendly and intermediate sessions for adults.
