Padel in Bali: courts, clubs and community

Bali suits padel. The island draws people who want to move, eat well and meet others, and the sport fits that rhythm. The island draws people who want to move, eat well and meet others, and padel fits that rhythm: it is social by design, quick to pick up, and played in doubles, so you are never on court alone.

This guide covers padel in Bali with a focus on Canggu and Pererenan: how to book a court, how coaching and level groups work, where to find partners and events, and practical tips for your first session. It is based on how Pad Thai Padel Canggu actually runs.

Bali attracts an international, active crowd, and many visitors stay for weeks or months rather than days. That creates the kind of community padel thrives on: residents, remote workers and travellers who want a regular game and a friendly place to spend an evening.

The sport itself helps. Padel is played in doubles, four players to a court, and the enclosed court keeps rallies going even for beginners. The climate is the other factor: the rainy season is real, and indoor courts mean your booking happens whatever the sky is doing.

Pad Thai Padel Canggu is located on Jl. Dalem Wr. in Pererenan, Bali 80351, a short ride from the heart of Canggu. The club has five indoor courts and is open from 07:00 to 23:00 daily, so you can play early before the heat, at lunchtime, or under the lights in the evening.

The club is built for lingering as much as for playing. There is a café and bar, a wellness space called Pad Thai Padel Wellness, co-working style seating for answering a few emails between matches, and a spectator terrace over the courts where friends can watch with a drink in hand. For questions about bookings, coaching or group visits, call +62 821 3856 448.

There are two easy ways to book. The first is The Padel Society app, which lets you book courts and coaching, join events and track your level in one place. The second is the web checkout at book.getsetpoint.io/checkout/pad-thai-padel-bali, handy if you have not installed the app yet.

Sessions are typically 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Evenings are the busiest slots, so book ahead for prime time; mornings and early afternoons are calmer. Rackets and balls can be rented or provided at the club, so you can turn up with nothing more than your court shoes.

The Pad Thai Padel Academy in Bali is led by head coach Zeus Sanchez, a professional circuit coach, alongside academy pro player Miguel Gonzalez, who reached Premier Padel number 84 in 2024 and a career-high A1 Padel number 25 in 2026.

A one-hour lesson for one or two players is IDR 1,700,000, a 90-minute lesson is IDR 2,400,000, and four-hour and eight-hour packages cost IDR 6,200,000 and IDR 12,200,000, all with tax included. Additional players join for IDR 300,000 per person per hour, or IDR 400,000 per person per 90 minutes. Every lesson includes the court, balls, a racket, water refills and wellness access. Book through the Coaching section of The Padel Society app or at reception.

Academy groups follow The Padel Society level scale: Iron (1.0 to 1.79), Bronze (1.8 to 2.49), Silver (2.5 to 3.49) and Gold (3.5 to 4.49). Training with players at a similar pace makes sessions more enjoyable and more effective.

Arriving in Bali without a padel partner is normal, and the app solves it. The Padel Society app matches players by level, and its events are the fastest way to find a game at your standard. The events calendar lists what is coming up.

Typical formats include Americanos and Mexicanos, where you rotate partners and opponents over short matches, plus King of the Court, round robins, tournaments and clinics. They are the easiest way to meet the local padel community, whether you are here for a week or for good.

Padel in Bali is rarely just about the match. At Pad Thai Padel Canggu the wellness space sits alongside the courts and is included with every lesson, so coaching flows straight into recovery. The café, bar and terrace do the rest: spectators drift down to play, players drift up to watch, and tomorrow's games get arranged.

That blend of sport, rest and conversation is what turns a venue into a club. The players you meet at your first Americano are often the faces you see on the terrace a month later.

• Wear non-marking court shoes; they protect the surface and give you the grip padel needs.
• Book evenings in advance, as they are the busiest time; mornings are calmer and cooler.
• Indoor courts keep you dry in the rainy season, so book with confidence year-round.
• No racket? Rackets and balls can be rented or provided at the club.
• Download The Padel Society app before you arrive to book courts, join events and track your level.
• New to the sport? Book a lesson first; a single hour with a coach makes your first matches far more fun.

Whether you are on the island for a short break or settling in for the long term, padel in Bali is easy to start and hard to leave. Book a court at Pad Thai Padel Canggu, join an Americano through the app, and let the community do the rest.
