Viya Padel

Viya Padel is the padel operation at Emirates Golf Club in Emirates Hills 2, a short drive from Topgolf and the Sheikh Zayed Road interchange by Dubai Marina. The club lists 12 padel courts, which makes it one of the larger set-ups in this part of the city. Players describe the courts as outdoor, with good lighting for evening games and decent turf; the club itself does not state whether any of them are covered, so assume open-air play. Viya is the golf club's own leisure brand, and the padel side runs a full programme: lessons and packages, group training, socials, junior events and pay-and-play bookings. Coaches such as Laura, Fede and Charlie get warm praise, and visitors note clean changing rooms with showers (bring a towel), plus a bar, coffee counter and a shop near reception. The 4.1 rating from about 100 reviews also reflects real gripes: one long-time player was unhappy with a level assessment and with finding partners of the same level, and another was annoyed that the café would not deliver coffee courtside. Courts are open daily from 07:00 to 23:00. Pay-and-play rates are not listed on the club's website, so check prices in the Viya app or with the padel desk on +971 4 417 9833 or [email protected]. The golf club setting means there is plenty of parking on site.
