Padel's moment in Bali
Padel is growing faster in Bali than anywhere else in Southeast Asia. New clubs opened across the island through 2024 and 2025, and the sport has become especially popular with expats and wellness travellers looking for something social to do between yoga classes.
That growth means more choice, and more variation in quality. If you're picking a club for the first time, a few things matter more than the others.
What to look for in a padel club
Court coverage matters most in Bali specifically. Between the heat and the afternoon rain, an open-air court gets rained off or becomes unplayable by midday. Covered courts mean play never stops for weather.
After that: coaching credentials, since anyone can call themselves a coach but Spanish Padel Federation certification is an actual, checkable standard. Then the extras, since a club with a recovery spa or a decent cafe is a different day out than a bare set of courts. Community counts too. A padel club is social by nature, and the good ones feel like it.
Why Bam Bam Padel stands out
Bam Bam Padel has been operating in Ubud since 2023, with five fully covered courts bookable through the Playtomic app. Coaching is led by Ceres, currently ranked in Asia's top five female players, and Guillermo, from a competitive junior academy in Madrid. Both are certified by the Spanish Padel Federation.
Beyond the courts, the club has a full recovery facility (sauna, steam room, ice bath and a saltwater jacuzzi, free with every booking), The Winning Serve canteen for coffee and homemade gelato, and a kids academy for younger players. The club sits in Mas, just south of central Ubud, close enough to be convenient without the traffic.
New to padel? The club is built for beginners too
A 60-minute initiation class costs 200,000 IDR with a racket included, and most people are rallying properly by the end of it. No experience or equipment needed.
How to book
Court reservations run through Playtomic. For coaching, spa appointments or anything else, message the club directly on WhatsApp. The club is open daily, 7 AM to 10 PM.
