About Padel
Padel is a fast-growing racquet sport that combines the excitement of tennis with the dynamic wall-play of squash. Played on an enclosed court with a solid string-less racket, padel is designed to be fun, social, and accessible
– making it perfect for beginners, fitness lovers, and competitive athletes alike.
At Success Padel Samui, we welcome all players
– from first-timers to experienced competitors
– to enjoy the energy, atmosphere, and community of this exciting sport.
- Where Padel Comes From
Padel originated in Mexico in 1969 and quickly expanded to Spain and Argentina, where it became a national phenomenon. Today, it is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, played by more than 25 million people and rapidly rising across Asia, including Thailand.
- How the Game Works
Padel is played mostly in doubles, creating a fun and interactive team environment. The court is smaller than a tennis court and surrounded by glass walls, allowing the ball to bounce and stay in play longer. This means more rallies, more excitement, and more action — even for new players.
Whether you enjoy strategic play, fast movement, or simply hitting with friends, padel delivers an addictive experience from the very first session.
- Equipment & Gear
Padel uses a lightweight foam-core racket with holes and a low-pressure ball similar to tennis. Court-specific shoes are recommended for grip and safety. You can bring your own racket or rent equipment at our club.
- Key Rules at a Glance
• Walls are part of the game — balls can bounce off the glass
• Underarm serve only
• Ball must bounce once before hitting it back
• Scoring follows tennis: 15–30–40–Game
• Best of 3 sets format
Padel is designed to be easy to start yet endlessly challenging to master — just like the best sports in the world.
