Viya Padel at Yas Acres

Viya Padel at Yas Acres sits within Yas Acres Golf and Country Club at 5 Al Athlah Street, Yas North, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The club is accessible from Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street (E10) and the Yas Island slip roads off Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Highway (E12).

Viya Padel at Yas Acres padel is part of the wider Viya Padel network, which operates over 29 courts across the UAE and describes itself as the original home of padel tennis in the country. The venue opened alongside the golf and country club in April 2022.

The club caters to Yas Acres residents and visitors looking for a pay-and-play option on the island. Beyond padel, the clubhouse includes a nine-hole golf course, outdoor swimming pool, gym, three dining outlets and changing facilities.

The combination of quality courts, accessible booking and a full country-club setting makes this a practical choice for padel in Abu Dhabi.

The padel courts

Viya Padel at Yas Acres has three outdoor doubles padel courts. All three use a crystal synthetic-grass surface, which provides consistent ball bounce and reliable grip in the Abu Dhabi heat. The courts are floodlit for evening play.

Each court is a standard doubles-size enclosure with tempered glass back walls and metal mesh side panels. The outdoor setting means players should expect direct sunlight during daytime sessions between May and September.

Evening slots tend to book out faster during summer for this reason. There are no singles courts or panoramic-style courts at this location. Players wanting indoor courts will need to look elsewhere in Abu Dhabi.

The three-court setup keeps the venue compact, which can mean limited availability at peak times - particularly weekday evenings and Friday mornings.

Booking padel and access

Courts are available on a pay-and-play basis. No membership is required to book, though Yas Acres members receive discounted rates. Booking is handled through Playtomic or the Viya App.

A 90-minute court booking starts from AED 380 per court. In a standard doubles game of four, that works out to AED 95 per person. Live rates on Playtomic vary by time slot and day of the week.

Peak slots - typically weekday evenings after 17:00 and weekend mornings - carry higher pricing. Both platforms show live availability and allow instant confirmation.

The courts are open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 23:30 and Saturday to Sunday from 07:00 to 23:30. Free on-site parking sits directly in front of the clubhouse. Changing rooms and showers are inside.

Padel programme and social

Viya Padel runs an in-house coaching academy at Yas Acres. The Padel Academy offers structured programmes for adults and juniors, covering beginner through to advanced levels.

Junior group sessions cater to ages 5 to 15 through eight-week blocks of weekly lessons. Adult coaching includes private and group formats. See the coaching tab for tiers and pricing details.

Social play and mix-in sessions run periodically, giving singles and pairs a way to find games without a full group of four. The venue also hosts occasional tournament events and padel socials.

Best for

Viya Padel at Yas Acres suits players who want padel as part of a broader leisure day. The pool, gym and dining mean you can make a full afternoon or evening of it. Families in the Yas Acres community find the location especially convenient.

The venue is a strong option for beginners and improvers looking for structured coaching. The junior programme is one of the few in Abu Dhabi offering dedicated eight-week blocks for children.

Competitive players who need a wider range of court types may find the three-court setup limiting. There are no indoor or singles courts. Players training multiple times a week should compare rates, as the per-court pricing sits in the upper range for Abu Dhabi.
