Padel Has Taken Over Riyadh And Here Are The Best Places To Play It
Riyadh is taking to the Mexican racket sport, Padel, unlike any other sport other than football, of course. Some of the places on this list have pretty big waiting lines as well so you better book in advance ‘cus the sport is literally getting more popular by the day.
Padel Rush
This is a great place to play, regardless of your skill level. It’s one of those rare places that has both indoor and outdoor options. You could opt for the drop-in sessions, which are a great way to get acquainted with the sport. To sweeten the deal, you can book your court dates online—a lifesaver, especially on the weekends.
4 Padel
Padel is usually played in doubles, which means that there are 4 players on court, and that’s how this place got its name, 4 Padel. It’s got decent seating arrangements for visitors as well.

Padel In
Originally founded in Qatar back in 2019, Padel In has swept across the Middle East, with branches all over the GCC. The academy here, which has some excellent teachers to get you up to speed, is the best place to start in Riyadh (or Jeddah, for that matter) if you’re aiming for a career in padel.

Valley Padel
This is perhaps one of the best places to enjoy padel on those breezy spring evenings, as you’ve got the pristine Wadi Hanifa as a backdrop. It just can’t get more scenic than this.

Padel Masters
Speaking of scenic grounds, Padel Masters, located on the rooftop of the Marriott Hotel, gives you amazing views of the cityscape. Trust us, they’re fantastic to gaze at while pausing to regain your breath. But the views and service here don’t come cheap, they come at a steep price of SR340 for 90 minutes.
