The best padel clubs in Madrid

Madrid is one of the historic cradles of padel and has one of the highest densities of clubs and academies in the world. The Spanish capital lives to the rhythm of the sport, from the Sunday player to the professional circuit. Here is where to play and how to plan a padel stay in Madrid.

Why Madrid is a padel reference

Here, padel is part of daily life. The city and its region have an impressive number of courts, renowned academies and top-level coaches. You easily find a court and partners of all levels, at any time.

Where to play in the capital

The offering is spread between the centre and a vast ring of sports complexes. For a stay, choose your base by area: the centre for city life, or the outskirts for large clubs with several courts and parking.

• Urban clubs: handy to play between two sights, to book in advance.
• Large complexes on the outskirts: several courts, academies and services, ideal for a group.

Booking and prices

Online booking is the norm. Padel stays very affordable once the court is split four ways, and the abundance of supply means you can find a slot almost any time, which is rarer in other capitals.

Madrid's advantage: density. Even in the evening, you will almost always find a free court somewhere.

Where to stay near the courts

Aim for a home a short distance from a club or complex so you can play every day without wasting time. Madrid easily combines padel, culture and food: a sports stay quickly turns into a complete getaway.
