Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana

Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana brings three outdoor padel courts to one of Abu Dhabi’s most scenic resort settings. The courts sit inside the Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas on Shati Al Sadiyat Street, Al Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Operated by Together Sport Services, the venue opens Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana padel to both hotel guests and outside visitors. It is a straightforward play-and-go option for anyone on or near the island.

The resort occupies a stretch of the nine-kilometre white sand beach on Saadiyat Island. Follow the E12 Sheikh Khalifa Highway toward Saadiyat, take the Al Saadiyat exit, and follow signs for the Rotana. Free parking is available on site.

The padel courts

Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana has three outdoor doubles courts with crystal surface. All three are bookable online through Playtomic and listed individually as Padel 1, Padel 2, and Padel 3.

The crystal turf is a popular choice across the UAE, offering consistent bounce and good grip in warm conditions. It drains well after rain, which keeps downtime to a minimum during the cooler months.

The courts are floodlit, extending play well into the evening. This matters in Abu Dhabi, where summer daytime temperatures push most players toward early morning or after-dark sessions. Floodlights run until the 23:00 closing time.

Equipment rental is available on site. If you are visiting the resort without your own gear, you can hire rackets and balls at the courts directly.

Booking padel and access

Courts are open daily from 07:00 to 23:00. Booking is handled through Playtomic, where all three courts appear with live availability. The venue operates as pay-and-play with no membership requirement.

Live pricing shows on Playtomic at the time of booking. Rates in Abu Dhabi typically range from AED 100 to AED 200 per court per hour depending on the time slot.

Peak evening slots tend to carry higher rates than early morning sessions. Check the Playtomic calendar for the latest availability and pricing by day.

For enquiries, call +971 52 351 0022. The resort address is Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas, Shati Al Sadiyat Street, Al Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. Changing rooms and lockers are accessible through the Bodylines Fitness Club inside the resort.

Programme and social

Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana sits within a broader sports and leisure complex. The resort also has two tennis courts and a mini golf course for non-playing companions.

Guest reviews mention coaching availability with an instructor named Jaime. Lessons appear to be arranged directly through the venue rather than through Playtomic. Contact by phone to ask about coaching sessions.

The resort setting adds a social layer that standalone padel centres cannot match. After a game, players can eat at Hamilton’s Gastropub, Turtle Bay Bar and Grill, or Si Ristorante Italiano.

The pool area and Nasma Beachfront Bar are within walking distance of the courts. The resort’s lazy river and splash pool keep families entertained during court time.

Best for padel on Saadiyat Island

Home of Padel Saadiyat Rotana suits players who want padel combined with a resort experience. It works for hotel guests looking for an active morning and visitors heading to the island for a beach day.

Expats who prefer a quieter setting away from the busier Mussafah and Yas Island clusters will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere. The three-court setup keeps things compact and unhurried.

It is less suited to players chasing the cheapest court rate or those who need a large community scene with regular tournaments and organised mix-ins.

Families benefit from the wider resort facilities. Kids can use the splash pool or lazy river while adults play. Zen the Spa at Rotana and the Bodylines gym with sea views round out a full day.
