Jakarta Joins Global Padel Boom with New Court Developments

The sport of padel is making waves in Indonesia, with developer a Padel announcing plans to build five new sports complexes across Greater Jakarta.

The projects are designed to meet surging demand for the racket sport, which has become one of the fastest-growing in the world. Each complex will host multiple courts, catering to both casual players and competitive tournaments.

Padel’s mix of tennis and squash, played on compact glass-walled courts in doubles format, has made it especially popular among young professionals and social players looking for an easy-to-learn, high-energy activity.

Industry observers say Jakarta’s new facilities could establish the city as a regional hotspot for padel, opening the door to international events and accelerating growth across Southeast Asia.

With these new developments, Jakarta is set to join the likes of London, Madrid, and Miami as one of the latest urban centers to embrace the global padel movement.
