Padel Paradise, Lamai — Three Covered Padel Courts on Koh Samui
Contents

Overview

Padel Paradise is a three-court padel club on Lamai’s main road, on Koh Samui’s southeast coast, open daily from 07:00 to 23:00. It is one of three dedicated padel clubs on the island as of September 2026, and the only one built specifically around Lamai’s beach-town crowd rather than the Bo Phut or central-Samui expat base the other two draw on.

Key facts: 3 covered courts (2 classic, 1 singles) · Lamai Main Road · Open 07:00-23:00 daily · Clubhouse with changing rooms, showers and lockers · Bookable via the Playtomic app · Priced at the desk, no rate published in text

The Courts

Padel Paradise runs three courts, all covered against Lamai’s sun and its rain: two standard doubles courts and one built for 1-vs-1 singles play, a configuration none of the island’s other two clubs — Padel Samui in Bo Phut and Padel Tropical in central Samui — currently offers. The clubhouse adds changing rooms, showers, lockers and terraces, and the site publishes an English and a French version of the same page, a small sign of who the club expects to walk in off Lamai’s main road.

Finding a game works the same way it does at every Samui padel club: a club-run WhatsApp group where players post that they’re short a partner, open to anyone who plays there, rather than a formal ranking or grading system. Courts themselves are bookable through the Playtomic booking platform, the same third-party app used by padel clubs across Thailand, rather than a phone-only reservation system.

What It Costs

Padel Paradise prices its courts through an in-club rate card rather than publishing hourly rates in text on its own site — the only one of Samui’s three padel clubs that withholds pricing this way. A photographed price list exists on the club’s page dated to around April 2026, but the figures aren’t reproduced as text anywhere public, so this page won’t guess at them.

For context only — not as Padel Paradise’s own rate — Koh Samui’s three padel clubs together price covered courts at roughly 1,000-1,800 THB (~29-51 USD) per hour and open-air courts at 600-1,500 THB (~17-43 USD), according to our island-wide padel and tennis guide. Confirm Padel Paradise’s actual price at the desk or through the Playtomic listing before you commit to a slot; don’t assume it sits at either end of that range.

Getting There

Padel Paradise sits directly on Lamai’s main road, on the southeast coast roughly 30-35 minutes by taxi from Samui International Airport (around 350-450 THB, ~10-13 USD) and about 20-25 minutes from Chaweng. Lamai Beach itself is a short walk from the club, and a songthaew running the south-coast route along the main road will drop you close to the door for 50-100 THB depending on distance.

Padel Paradise doesn’t publish an exact GPS pin, and the coordinates on this page mark central Lamai’s main road rather than the club’s precise doorway — search “Padel Paradise Lamai” on Google Maps or the Playtomic app before driving out, since a scooter ride down the wrong soi on Lamai’s built-up strip wastes more time than it should.

Nearby

Lamai gives Padel Paradise more to pair a court session with than either of Samui’s other padel clubs. Wat Lamai, the village temple that anchors the older part of Lamai away from the beach strip, is a few minutes’ drive from the club. Lamai Viewpoint is a short uphill walk for a coastline panorama if you want to stretch out post-match legs rather than sit straight back down. Lamai Beach itself — Samui’s second-busiest beach after Chaweng — is close enough to finish a session with a swim, and our Lamai area guide covers the rest of the strip’s restaurants and nightlife for a full day around the club.

BXB Fight Lab, also on Lamai Beach, is the nearest other drop-in sport facility if padel isn’t filling a whole afternoon — a fight-focused strength and conditioning setup rather than a racket sport, but a five-minute ride from the same stretch of road. For the island’s other pick-up court sports — badminton, sepak takraw, beach volleyball — see our pick-up sport guide.

Pros and Cons

Padel Paradise’s singles court is a genuine differentiator — most Samui padel is doubles-only, and a dedicated 1-vs-1 court is rare even in Bangkok’s bigger clubs. Being on Lamai’s main road also puts it within walking distance of beachfront restaurants and Lamai’s nightlife strip in a way Bo Phut’s and central Samui’s clubs aren’t for their own areas.

The trade-off is the pricing opacity: not knowing the hourly rate before you show up is a real inconvenience next to Padel Tropical and Padel Samui, both of which list their prices outright. Lamai’s main road is also busier and noisier than the quieter approach roads to the island’s other two clubs, and rush-hour traffic through central Lamai can add real minutes to what should be a short taxi ride.

Weigh those against each other before choosing Padel Paradise over the island’s other two clubs — none of the three is strictly better, just different trade-offs between price transparency, court variety and location.

FAQ

Where exactly is Padel Paradise on Koh Samui?

Padel Paradise sits on Lamai’s main road on the island’s southeast coast, close to Lamai Beach. The club doesn’t publish an exact street address or GPS pin, so search “Padel Paradise Lamai” on Google Maps or the Playtomic app to confirm the precise spot before you drive out.

How much does a court cost at Padel Paradise?

Padel Paradise prices courts through an in-club rate card rather than publishing figures in text on its own site, so this page can’t state an exact rate. For context, Koh Samui’s padel clubs together charge roughly 1,000-1,800 THB (~29-51 USD) an hour for a covered court — confirm Padel Paradise’s own price at the desk or via Playtomic.

Does Padel Paradise have a singles court?

Yes — one of its three covered courts is built specifically for 1-vs-1 singles play, alongside two standard doubles courts. This makes it the only one of Samui’s three dedicated padel clubs offering a singles-specific court as of September 2026.

How do I book a court or find a partner at Padel Paradise?

Courts are bookable through the Playtomic app, the same platform used by padel clubs across Thailand. To find a partner without one, the club runs a WhatsApp group where players post when they’re short a fourth — ask at the desk for how to join it.

What are Padel Paradise’s opening hours?

Padel Paradise is open daily from 07:00 to 23:00, according to its own site as of September 2026. Evening hours matter here — Samui’s midday heat makes an 11:00-15:00 court booking a genuinely uncomfortable choice compared with an early morning or after-dark slot.
