i Padel club

i Padel club sits inside Abu Dhabi Country Club on Shakhbout Bin Sultan Street, Al Mushrif, Abu Dhabi. The club was established in 1999 by the Government of Abu Dhabi and became one of the first venues in the capital to add dedicated padel courts.

Open to both members and non-members, i Padel club padel offers a straightforward way to play the sport without a long-term commitment. The surrounding campus spans tennis, squash, swimming, bowling, fitness and spa facilities.

Situated in the Al Mushrif district, the venue is a short drive from the E22 and Sheikh Zayed Bridge, with direct access from Shakhbout Bin Sultan Street. Parking is available on site for visitors arriving by car.

The padel courts

i Padel club has two indoor padel courts fitted with crystal-surface turf. The indoor setting shields players from Abu Dhabi’s high temperatures, and both courts benefit from consistent LED lighting throughout each session.

Both courts are doubles-standard and enclosed by glass and mesh walls in line with international padel specifications. The crystal surface provides reliable ball bounce and underfoot grip, a common choice across UAE-based padel venues.

Court maintenance is handled by the country club’s facilities team. The indoor environment means wind and sand are never a factor during play, keeping conditions predictable year-round.

Booking and access

Court bookings can be made by contacting the padel desk directly on +971 2 657 7703 or by emailing adccpadelrcp@adcountryclub.com. The main reception line is +971 2 657 7777.

Courts are available during club operating hours, which run from 07:00 to 23:00 daily. Specific padel court availability may vary by day, so booking ahead is recommended.

Pricing is available on request through the padel desk. Previous offers through Groupon listed coaching classes at approximately AED 75 per session in a five-class package starting from AED 375.

Live rates for open court hire can be confirmed directly with the venue. Both members and non-members are welcome to book, though membership holders may benefit from preferential rates.

Racket hire is available for visitors who do not bring their own equipment. The Abu Dhabi Country Club padel page provides further contact details and facility information.

Padel programme and social

Coaching at i Padel club is led by two qualified instructors. Mr Raul Cuesta Santos and Ms Laura Dana run sessions for all ages and ability levels, from complete beginners to experienced competitors.

Group and private lessons can be arranged through the padel desk on +971 55 502 2679. See the coaching tab for full tier and pricing details.

The club positions itself as a social padel venue, with classes designed to combine fitness and socialising. Players looking for regular match partners can enquire about organised sessions and mix-in opportunities.

Beyond the courts, the country club campus offers extensive amenities. Sardinia restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner, while Mondo Moderno cafe provides lighter meals and coffee throughout the day.

Two gyms are on site - one mixed and one ladies-only - alongside indoor and outdoor swimming pools. A spa with 23 treatment rooms, sauna, steam rooms and jacuzzi facilities rounds out the wellness offering.

A four-lane bowling alley adds another social dimension for groups visiting the venue. The wider Abu Dhabi Country Club also runs a sports school with structured training for younger members.

Best for

i Padel club suits players who want padel as part of a broader sports and leisure experience. The country club setting means a session on court can be combined with a swim, a gym workout or a meal.

Families and social groups benefit from the range of on-site activities. Beginners gain from coaching with Raul and Laura, while the indoor courts let experienced players train year-round without weather interruptions.

With only two courts, the venue suits players who prefer a quieter atmosphere rather than the larger dedicated padel centres in Abu Dhabi. The non-member access policy makes it a practical drop-in option for visitors in the Al Mushrif area.

In-house coaching led by Mr Raul Cuesta Santos and Ms Laura Dana, covering all ages and ability levels from beginner introductions to advanced sessions.
