Beach Rotana Hotel

Beach Rotana Hotel brings padel to the heart of Abu Dhabi’s Al Zahiyah district. The rooftop court sits above the Bodylines Fitness and Wellness Club at 10th Street, Al Zahiyah Area, Abu Dhabi 45200.

Managed by the Rotana hospitality group, this five-star property connects directly to Abu Dhabi Mall and overlooks the Arabian Gulf waterfront. The Beach Rotana Hotel padel facility is open to both hotel guests and external visitors, making it one of the most accessible hotel-based courts in the capital.

The property is well connected to major routes across Abu Dhabi. Al Salam Street (E12) runs parallel to the hotel, linking east to Saadiyat Island and west towards the Corniche. Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street provides a direct connection south to the E11 highway and Abu Dhabi International Airport, roughly 30 minutes by car.

The courts

Beach Rotana Hotel has one outdoor panoramic padel court positioned on the rooftop of the low-rise Bodylines gym building. The elevated setting delivers unobstructed views across the waterfront and the Abu Dhabi skyline, a backdrop few other padel venues in the city can match.

The court is a doubles-format panoramic design with glass back walls and open sides. The blue playing surface sits fully open to the sky with floodlighting for evening sessions. Courts are available from early morning through to late evening, giving players plenty of flexibility around the Abu Dhabi heat.

Equipment rental is available on site for players who do not bring their own rackets and balls. This makes the court particularly convenient for hotel guests trying padel for the first time or travellers without their own gear.

Booking padel and access

The padel court at Beach Rotana Hotel is open daily from 6:00 am to 10:45 pm. One-hour sessions are priced at AED 215 per session or AED 300 per hour for exclusive court hire. Courts can be booked online through Playtomic, which shows real-time availability and allows instant confirmation.

For direct enquiries, contact the Bodylines reception on +971 2 697 9302 or the main hotel line at +971 2 697 9000. Email reservations can be directed to res.beach@rotana.com. The hotel also maintains an active Instagram presence where updates on sports facilities and events are shared.

Free parking is available for visitors at the hotel car park. Changing rooms and locker facilities are accessible through the Bodylines club on the same building, so players can shower and change before or after their session without returning to a hotel room.

Programme and social padel

Beach Rotana Hotel positions its padel court as a pay-and-play facility rather than a structured academy environment. The court serves hotel guests, residents, and visiting players on a casual booking basis.

Organised tournaments or regular mix-in sessions have not been widely advertised at the time of writing. The hotel’s broader sports programme does include group fitness classes and personal training through Bodylines.

The wider Beach Rotana sports offering extends well beyond padel. The property includes three floodlit tennis courts, two squash courts, a full gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool, private beach, kids’ pool and play area, and Zen the Spa with sauna, steam room, and treatment rooms. A watersports centre with scuba instruction is also available on the beach.

For families, Bradee Kids Club and an indoor Game Zone with arcade games, table tennis, and PlayStation keep younger visitors occupied while adults play. The Beach Club provides poolside food and drink service for post-match relaxation.

Best for

Beach Rotana Hotel padel suits hotel guests and Abu Dhabi residents looking for a casual hit in a premium setting. The rooftop court with waterfront views makes it an appealing option for social games and one-off sessions rather than intensive training.

Players seeking a multi-court facility with structured coaching, leagues, or academy programmes may find the single court limiting. Dedicated padel centres elsewhere in Abu Dhabi offer more depth for those needs.

But for a relaxed game followed by a swim, spa session, or dinner at one of the hotel’s restaurants, Beach Rotana delivers a complete day out that few standalone padel clubs can replicate.

The combination of Playtomic booking, equipment rental, and full resort amenities makes this a strong choice for visitors to Abu Dhabi who want to fit in a game without the logistics of finding a dedicated club across the city.
