Padel is everywhere in Spain, and Valencia is no exception. It is played in pairs and a game fits into an hour, which makes it an easy sport to build a group trip around.
This guide is for clubs and groups visiting to play. If you live here and want a court near home, our directory of padel courts in Valencia lists them one by one, and our beginners' guide explains the rules in more detail.
What padel is
Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court. Under the International Padel Federation rules, the court is 20 metres (about 66 ft) long and 10 metres (about 33 ft) wide, closed by walls and mesh, with a net across the middle.
The ball can be played off the walls, which makes rallies longer than in tennis and the game easier for beginners to enjoy from the first session.
Municipal courts in Valencia
The city's municipal sports foundation, the Fundació Esportiva Municipal, runs sports centres with padel courts across Valencia. The Poliesportiu Asturias in Camins al Grau, for example, lists three padel courts along with tennis courts and classes for adults and children.
Municipal courts are usually the cheapest option. Check the foundation's facilities list for the centre nearest to you and its booking conditions.
Private clubs
Private clubs add covered courts, coaching and a social side: leagues, mixed tournaments and a bar to sit in afterwards. Many are on the edge of the city and in the towns around it.
Most clubs take bookings online or through booking apps, and many let non-members book a court. Prices and conditions vary by club and time of day, so confirm them with the club directly.
Booking a court and finding a game
Courts are booked by the hour or hour and a half, and evening slots go first. If you do not have a regular group, clubs and apps often help you find three other players of a similar level.
Rackets and balls can usually be hired at the club, so a first game needs little more than sports shoes.
Booking courts for a whole group
Municipal and club courts are booked one court at a time, by the hour or the hour and a half. A group of eight needs two courts in the same slot and a group of sixteen needs four, which is hardest to find in the evening, when local players book.
Morning and early afternoon slots are easier for a group. It is also worth asking a private club directly whether it can reserve several courts at once.
Professional padel in Valencia
In June 2026, La Fonteta hosted Valencia's first tournament on the Premier Padel tour, a P1 event played from 6 to 14 June, according to the International Padel Federation. Its semi-finals and finals sold out in advance.
No date for a 2027 edition had been announced when we checked, so treat it as one to watch rather than a fixed date.
Padel trips and groups
Groups come to Valencia to combine padel with a city break: a few sessions on court, some coaching and the beach or the old town in between. The mild climate means outdoor courts are usable for much of the year.
If you are organising a group, we can talk through what your players need.
