321 SPORTS

321 SPORTS is a multi-sport complex on Hudayriyat Island in Abu Dhabi, developed and managed by Modon. The full address is 321 Sports, Hudayriyat Island, Al Hidayriyyat, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The facility opened in November 2020 as part of the Hudayriyat Leisure and Entertainment District.

321 sports padel sits at the centre of the venue’s expansion, with six dedicated courts drawing players from across the city. The complex is accessible within a short drive from central Abu Dhabi, directly off the Hudayriyat Island bridge connecting to the E12 Sheikh Zayed Bridge highway.

Beyond padel, 321 SPORTS houses football pitches with FIFA-certified surfaces, tennis courts, a six-lane athletics track, and cricket fields. A gym, yoga studio, sauna and plunge pool sit inside the 321 Hub. The 321 Club includes a restaurant and sports bar. Free parking and changing rooms with showers are available.

The padel courts

321 SPORTS has six padel courts split between indoor and outdoor settings. Four courts sit inside the sports dome - the largest indoor sporting dome in the Middle East.

Two outdoor courts are floodlit for evening play. All six are doubles-sized with crystal synthetic turf, a surface favoured across premium UAE venues for its pace and grip.

The indoor courts benefit from climate control inside the dome, making them playable year-round regardless of summer heat. Each court supports 60-minute, 90-minute and 120-minute booking slots via Playtomic.

Booking padel and access

Courts are open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to midnight, and Saturday to Sunday from 07:00 to midnight. All six courts can be booked on Playtomic, with on-site payment also accepted.

Indoor court rates are AED 260 per court for 60 minutes at peak times and AED 105 off-peak. That works out to roughly AED 65 per person peak and AED 26 per person off-peak for a doubles game.

A 90-minute indoor session is AED 350 peak and AED 157.50 off-peak. Two hours is AED 440 peak and AED 178.50 off-peak.

Outdoor courts are AED 150 per court for 60 minutes at peak and AED 75 off-peak. A Power Hours promotion cuts outdoor rates by 50 per cent between 07:00 and 17:00, bringing the price to AED 75 per court. Cancellations require 24 hours notice.
