OUR STORY
Padel Tropical was born from a simple idea: bring the world's fastest-growing racket sport to one of the world's most beautiful islands. Founded by padel enthusiasts who fell in love with Koh Samui's laid-back lifestyle, the club opened its doors with a mission to create more than just courts — we wanted to build a community.
Today, Padel Tropical is Koh Samui's largest and most popular padel club. With 5 professional courts (3 covered and 2 open-air), a team of certified coaches, weekly tournaments, and a full-service restaurant and bar, we've become the island's social hub for locals, expats and tourists alike.
Whether you're stepping onto a padel court for the first time or you're a seasoned competitor, you'll find your place here. We're proud to welcome players from over 30 countries every month — from digital nomads in Bophut to families on holiday from Chaweng, from long-term residents in Lamai to weekend visitors from Bangkok.
