Lets Padel Outdoor

Lets Padel Outdoor is the outdoor arm of Let’s Padel Academy, situated within the grounds of Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana on Corniche Road, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. Opened as Abu Dhabi’s first outdoor padel facility, the venue sits along one of the capital’s most recognisable stretches of waterfront.

The Corniche location complements the brand’s original indoor centre in Mussafah, giving players across the city a choice between air-conditioned play and open-air courts. Lets Padel Outdoor padel is bookable year-round and forms part of a wider network that also includes two branches in Ruwais.

The academy has grown into one of the most established padel operators in the emirate, holding a 4.7-star Google rating from over 140 reviews. Access is straightforward from the Corniche’s main carriageway, and the hotel setting provides ample parking for players arriving by car.

The padel courts

The outdoor section features three international-standard padel courts with crystal-surface turf. All three are doubles courts built to regulation dimensions. Being fully open to the sky, these courts offer a distinct feel to the brand’s indoor facility, particularly during the cooler months from October to April.

The Corniche site also houses four indoor courts, bringing the total to seven bookable padel courts. The indoor courts are air-conditioned, making them the preferred option during Abu Dhabi’s hot summer months. Floodlighting on the outdoor courts extends play well into the evening.
