Fantasy Padel

Fantasy Padel is a single-court padel venue on Altaher Bin Ali Al Marar Street in Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Zone 5, Abu Dhabi. The facility sits in a residential pocket of MBZ City, a short drive from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street (E12).

The venue opened in early 2023 and operates as a pay-and-play facility. Anyone can reserve time through Playtomic without a membership. Players from MBZ City, Al Shamkha, and Khalifa City use it as a convenient local option away from the busier clubs on Yas Island and the Corniche.

An on-site restaurant rounds out the visit. Players can eat before or after a match without needing to drive elsewhere. Free parking is available on the premises, which removes a common frustration at city-centre venues.

The padel courts

Fantasy Padel has one outdoor doubles padel court built to panoramic specification. The court features full glass back walls and glass side panels with metal mesh above, giving spectators a clear view from every angle. The playing surface is blue synthetic grass, which provides consistent ball bounce and grip in Abu Dhabi’s warm conditions.

Floodlighting is installed around the court, which means evening sessions run comfortably after sunset. The lights are tall, curved-arm LED units that provide even coverage across the playing area. The court surround is laid with green artificial turf, and a bench sits alongside for waiting players or spectators.

As a single-court venue, Fantasy Padel is best suited to pre-booked sessions. Walk-in availability depends on the day, but booking in advance through Playtomic is the most reliable way to secure a slot. The panoramic glass design keeps the court feeling open and airy despite the surrounding residential buildings.

Booking and access

Courts are booked online through Playtomic. The venue operates as pay-and-play, so no membership is needed. Select your preferred date, time slot, and duration, then pay through the platform. Live pricing and availability show directly on the Playtomic listing.

Opening hours run Monday to Thursday from 09:00 to 22:00. On Fridays and Saturdays the venue stays open an hour later, closing at 23:00. Sunday hours mirror the weekday schedule at 09:00 to 22:00. The extended weekend hours suit players who prefer late evening matches when temperatures drop.

For enquiries or to book directly, call the venue on +971 55 822 4000. Free parking is available on site, which makes driving the simplest way to reach the venue. The location on Altaher Bin Ali Al Marar Street is accessible from both the E311 and E12 motorways within a few minutes.

Pricing is displayed in real time on Playtomic and varies by time slot. Peak evening hours and weekends typically carry a higher rate than daytime midweek bookings. Check the Playtomic page for the latest rates and any promotional offers.

Programme and social

Fantasy Padel is primarily a court-hire venue. There is no advertised coaching programme, tournament schedule, or structured social play at the time of writing. Players looking for organised mix-ins or leagues may wish to check with the venue directly by phone, as smaller venues in Abu Dhabi sometimes run informal events that are not listed online.

The on-site restaurant provides a social element that many standalone courts lack. It gives groups a natural place to gather before or after matches. The venue’s intimate single-court setup can work well for regular groups who prefer a consistent, familiar playing environment without competing for court time across a larger facility.

Players who want coaching, junior programmes, or competitive leagues will find those at larger Abu Dhabi venues such as Padel Kingdom, We Are Padel, or Zayed Sports City. Fantasy Padel fills a different niche as a straightforward, convenient court in a residential area.

Best for

Fantasy Padel is best for residents of Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Al Shamkha, and eastern Abu Dhabi who want a nearby court without a long drive. The single panoramic court and relaxed setting suit casual players, regular four-player groups, and beginners who prefer a quieter environment to learn the game.

The venue is less suited to players who want a wide choice of courts, structured coaching, or a busy social scene. With only one court, flexibility is limited during peak hours. Competitive players seeking match practice against varied opponents may find the larger multi-court clubs a better fit.

For what it offers - a well-maintained panoramic court, floodlights for evening play, free parking, a restaurant, and easy Playtomic booking - Fantasy Padel delivers a solid, no-fuss padel experience in a part of Abu Dhabi that has fewer options than the city centre or Yas Island.

No coaching programme is currently advertised at Fantasy Padel.
