Emirates Padel

Emirates Padel runs the padel centre at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, on Al Majid Street in Al Rawdah, on the mainland side of the Maqta and Mussafah bridges opposite Abu Dhabi island. Playtomic lists 5 outdoor courts here, all for doubles and set in the hotel grounds by the canal. Court booking goes through Playtomic or by phone, and the venue is open to the public, not just hotel guests. Coaching is the club's strongest point. Reviewers name several coaches, including Eugenio and Navid, and one first-timer says a single lesson clearly improved their game; another warns, half-jokingly, that a session leaves you good for nothing but a shower and sleep. Staff at the counter help with class bookings, and the club also sells padel gear, with one customer praising the advice they got when buying equipment. Players also like the location: you can turn a game into a weekend stay at the hotel and use its pool or beach. The Google rating is 4.7 from 24 reviews, a smallish sample, and we found no recurring complaints. The centre is listed as open every day from 07:00 to midnight. Because the courts are outdoor, early mornings and evenings are the most comfortable times for most of the year. Court prices were not available from the Playtomic page we tried to load, so check the current rate in the app when you book. Parking is available at the hotel.
