About La Cantine Sports Club

La Cantine Sports Club is a padel and lifestyle destination on Bluewaters Island, Marsa Dubai, Dubai 120253, part of the Delano Dubai hotel complex. Opened in late 2025, La Cantine Sports Club padel brings six outdoor panoramic courts to one of Dubai’s most recognisable waterfront locations.

The club sits just minutes from the Ain Dubai observation wheel and connects to the mainland via a dedicated bridge off Sheikh Zayed Road. Alongside La Cantine Beach, it combines competitive court play with a wellness-forward social scene running from early morning through to late evening.

The concept goes beyond a standard padel facility. Mediterranean dining, a retail boutique and coaching programmes come together in a single seafront venue designed for players who want more than just court time. The pet-friendly terrace overlooks the Arabian Gulf, and the fully licensed cafe serves nourishing dishes throughout the day.

The padel courts

La Cantine Sports Club has six doubles padel courts, all with panoramic glass walls. Courts one through three, five and six are fully open-air. Court four sits under a permanent roof at six metres height - useful for midday play during the hotter months.

All six courts are floodlit for evening sessions and available for booking from 07:30 until 23:00 daily. The courts face the sea, giving players a distinctive setting compared to warehouse-style indoor venues across the city.

Surface type across all six courts is synthetic grass, consistent with the panoramic build standard. Equipment rental is available on-site for players who prefer to travel light.

Booking and access

Courts are booked through Playtomic, with live rates visible at the booking step. Standard 60-minute court hire starts from AED 200 during off-peak slots. Peak-hour pricing reaches around AED 340 per court, working out from AED 50 per person for a full doubles match at off-peak rates.

The club is open seven days a week from 07:00 to 23:00. Walk-in availability is possible but advance booking is recommended, particularly for evening and weekend slots. Playtomic handles instant confirmation and cancellation.

For enquiries, call +971 4 556 6622 or email info@lacantinesportsclub.ae. The full venue details and seasonal updates are listed at lacantinesportsclub.ae.

Getting to Bluewaters Island is straightforward. The dedicated Bluewaters bridge connects directly from Sheikh Zayed Road near interchange five, with the journey from Dubai Marina taking under five minutes. Free on-site parking is available for players.

Padel programme and social

La Cantine Sports Club runs coaching through its on-site academy. Private one-on-one lessons start from AED 380 for a 60-minute session, with rates varying by coach. Group sessions and structured programmes are also available for players at all levels.

The venue hosts social tournaments and mix-in events throughout the season. See the coaching tab for current tiers and pricing details.

Beyond the courts, the licensed Mediterranean cafe is the social anchor. The menu focuses on light, health-conscious dishes alongside coffee and fresh juices in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The sea-facing terrace is pet-friendly, making it a natural gathering point for post-match groups.

A curated retail boutique stocks padel rackets, sportswear, lifestyle accessories and equipment from selected brands. Health and wellness classes round out the programme. Private events and group bookings can be arranged through events-dubai@delanohotels.com.

Best for

La Cantine Sports Club suits players who want padel in a premium social setting rather than a bare-bones court facility. The Bluewaters Island location, licensed dining and retail boutique make it a strong option for couples, groups and after-work sessions.

Competitive players focused purely on drilling and high-volume court time may find the lifestyle-first atmosphere less suited to serious training. The roofed court four is a practical advantage during summer, though five courts are fully exposed to the elements from June to September.

For visitors staying at Delano Dubai or exploring Bluewaters Island, the club offers a convenient way to fit padel into a broader day out. Equipment rental and pay-and-play access via Playtomic mean no membership or gear is required to get on court.
