The Padel Project

The Padel Project is an indoor club in Musaffah's M45 sector, in the industrial-warehouse belt south of Mohamed Bin Zayed City, right next door to Padel Nation. Playtomic lists six indoor padel courts, and two of them can be booked as private courts, which reviewers say is a big draw for families and women who prefer to play away from spectators; two courts are often reserved for ladies-only sessions. Bookings go through Playtomic. With a 4.9 rating from 120 Google reviews, this is one of the best-rated clubs in Abu Dhabi, and the coaching is the reason most people give. The club has around six coaches, male and female, running private and group lessons, coached matches and matchmaking, and several regulars say they have trained with the same coaches for years. Players also mention a lively crowd of strong men's and women's players, clean and well-kept courts, and a café with a decent food menu. Playtomic adds a gym, ice baths, a shop, racket rental, changing rooms with lockers, Wi-Fi, disabled access and free private parking, plus social events and free 90-minute bookings on two courts on Saturdays. Google lists the club as open daily from 09:00 to midnight. Court prices aren't shown publicly, so check the rate in the Playtomic app when you book. The only real drawback is the location deep in Musaffah, which is a drive from the city and the islands.
