Padel Port

Padel Port brings padel to the waterfront at Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi. Set within the Marsa Mina harbour district, the venue combines a single outdoor padel court with a dining concept under the tagline “Padel. Dine. Enjoy.”

The facility sits at Harbour, Zayed Port, Abu Dhabi, close to the Mina Zayed area and accessible from the Corniche via the coastal road network. Padel Port padel offers a relaxed alternative to the larger academy-style clubs in the capital, targeting casual players and social groups who want to pair a game with a meal by the water.

Its harbourside setting at Marsa Mina places it among the restaurants and leisure outlets that have turned the old port area into one of Abu Dhabi’s more popular evening destinations for both residents and visitors.

The padel courts

Padel Port has one outdoor padel court. The court is floodlit for evening play, which suits the venue’s noon-to-midnight operating window. Players benefit from a harbour breeze during the cooler months, though summer sessions after dark are the busiest slots.

The court uses standard synthetic grass with sand infill, consistent with most outdoor padel installations across Abu Dhabi. With only one court, availability can be limited during peak hours, so booking ahead through the venue’s social media channels is recommended.

The floodlighting allows play well into the evening, with the last bookable slot running close to midnight. Court quality appears well maintained based on recent visitor photos shared on the venue’s Instagram page.

Booking and access

Court hire at Padel Port starts from AED 180 per hour (AED 45 per person for a standard doubles game of four). The venue is not currently listed on Playtomic or Matchi, so bookings are handled directly through the club.

Contact Padel Port via their Instagram page @padelport.ae or their Facebook page to reserve a slot. Racket hire availability has not been confirmed, so players should bring their own equipment or check with the venue in advance.

Padel Port is open daily from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM (midnight). The venue sits within Marsa Mina at Zayed Port, with parking available in the surrounding harbour area. The location is roughly ten minutes by car from the Corniche.

Padel programme and social

Padel Port positions itself as a social venue rather than a coaching academy. The dining element is central to the experience, with food and drinks available before, during or after your game.

The venue’s concept of pairing padel with waterfront hospitality appeals to groups looking for an evening activity rather than structured training. The Marsa Mina area itself has developed into a dining destination, and Padel Port fits that atmosphere well.

No formal coaching programme or structured tournament schedule has been confirmed at the time of writing. For players seeking organised leagues or professional coaching in Abu Dhabi, facilities such as Padel Kingdom or Let’s Padel Academy may be more suitable.

Best for padel in Abu Dhabi

Padel Port is best suited to casual players and social groups who want to combine a game with dining by the harbour. The single-court setup keeps things intimate, and the waterfront location at Marsa Mina makes it a strong option for an evening out.

Serious players looking for multiple courts, structured coaching or competitive match play will find better options elsewhere in Abu Dhabi. But for a relaxed hit with friends followed by food and drinks with harbour views, Padel Port fills a niche that most dedicated padel clubs do not cover.

The venue also shares a brand with Padel Port Bahrain, suggesting potential for the concept to grow across the Gulf region. If waterfront padel with a social edge is what you are after, this is the spot in Abu Dhabi.
