The Complete Guide to Padel in Singapore (2025)

What is Padel?

Padel is a racket sport that blends elements of tennis and squash. It's played on an enclosed glass court, slightly smaller than a tennis court, and almost always as doubles. The walls are in play, which makes rallies longer and the game more social than tennis.

It's exploded in popularity across Europe and is now catching on fast in Singapore.

Where to Play in Singapore

Singapore has a growing number of dedicated padel facilities, mostly indoor and air-conditioned. Courts are spread across Central, East, West, and North — so wherever you live, there's likely something nearby.

Prices typically run from $35 to $65 per hour depending on the venue and time slot. Weekday mornings are the cheapest.

Getting Started

You don't need to own a racket to start. Most venues offer equipment rental for a small fee. Show up with a friend and book a court — the game is easy to learn in your first session.

Many venues also offer beginner coaching sessions. If you want a structured introduction, look for a venue that runs group clinics.

Finding Other Players

Check Instagram. Most padel venues in Singapore run active accounts with posts about open play sessions, social events, and tournaments. It's the fastest way to find other players at your level.

Facebook groups and WhatsApp communities are also active — search "padel Singapore" and you'll find groups to join.

Is Padel the Same as Paddle Tennis?

No. Padel and paddle tennis are different sports. Padel uses an enclosed glass-walled court; paddle tennis is played on a smaller open court. Padel is the one growing fast in Singapore right now.
