Bali is becoming an exciting destination for travellers who want more than beaches, cafés, and sunset drinks. Pickleball and padel are bringing together sports enthusiasts, holidaymakers, and local communities, making it easier to stay active while exploring the island.
If you are planning a trip between October 2026 and April 2027, pickleball and padel Bali experiences can be a great addition to your itinerary. From social games and coaching sessions to organised tournaments, there are opportunities for beginners and experienced players alike.
Canggu is a particularly convenient base for an active holiday, with sports venues, restaurants, wellness facilities, and beach destinations within reach. Staying in a private villa also gives you somewhere comfortable to return to after a match, whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends, or with family.
Why Pickleball and Padel Are Worth Trying in Bali
Although they share some similarities, pickleball and padel offer different playing experiences.
Padel is played in doubles on an enclosed court where the walls are part of the game. It combines positioning, teamwork, and quick reactions, making it enjoyable for recreational players and competitive athletes.
Pickleball uses a solid paddle, a perforated plastic ball, and a smaller court. The game is relatively easy to pick up, making it a popular choice for beginners who want to join a social session without extensive training.
Both sports fit naturally into a Bali holiday. You can book a casual game in the morning, spend the afternoon exploring Canggu, and enjoy dinner at a nearby restaurant. For travellers who want to meet people while away from home, open-play sessions and group activities are also an opportunity to connect with other players.
Upcoming Padel and Pickleball Events in Bali: October 2026 to April 2027

December 2026 to April 2027: Follow Live Calendars
For December 2026 through April 2027, it is best to monitor live event listings rather than rely on an unconfirmed monthly tournament schedule. New competitions may be announced closer to their dates, particularly during busy travel periods.
Useful resources include:
For visitors who are not interested in formal competition, recurring social games and coaching sessions may be easier to fit into a holiday itinerary.
Where to Play Pickleball in Bali
PickleBali Clubs, Padonan
Located in the wider Canggu area, PickleBali Clubs offers bookable activities that include open play, coaching, practice sessions, and competitive formats. Its live schedule lists sessions for different skill levels, giving travellers options whether they are new to pickleball or already play regularly.
Some sessions are organised by ability, so check the level requirements before booking. Equipment and beginner arrangements should also be confirmed with the venue.
Visit PickleBali Clubs to see current activities and available time slots.
Kampus Pickle, Sanur
Kampus Pickle is another venue to consider if you want to combine a pickleball session with a visit to Sanur. Its published information describes six indoor courts and a range of activities, while its community has hosted events such as the Kampus Pickle Clash team tournament in October 2026.
That tournament took place on 10–11 October, so it should not be presented as an upcoming event. However, the venue is worth monitoring for future competitions and community sessions.
Where to Play Padel in Bali
Canggu and the Surrounding Area
Canggu is a practical starting point for travellers who want to combine padel with cafés, restaurants, beaches, and wellness activities. Several clubs are listed in the wider area, although exact locations, court types, and booking availability vary.
If you are staying in Canggu, compare venues by travel time, court availability, equipment rental, and whether they offer beginner sessions or social games. A club that is easy to reach from your accommodation can make it much simpler to fit a match into a busy holiday.
Pecatu and Ubud
For travellers willing to explore beyond Canggu, Pecatu and Ubud also appear in the current padel tournament calendar. Monster Padel Social Club in Pecatu is listed as the venue for the Maha Monster Bash, while Bam Bam Padel in Ubud hosts monthly junior tournament listings.
These venues may be better suited to a planned day trip or a stay that already includes southern Bali or Ubud. Check the route and traffic conditions before booking a match around other activities.
Why Stay in a Private Villa for Your Sports Holiday?
An active holiday is easier to enjoy when your accommodation offers space to relax between activities. Instead of returning to a single hotel room, a private villa gives you a shared living area, a kitchen, and space to spend time together away from the courts.
At The Menuai Bali, the two-bedroom villas in Kayu Tulang, Canggu, feature private pools, enclosed living spaces, and two en-suite bedrooms. They are suitable for couples, friends travelling together, or small families who want to balance sports with a more relaxed island itinerary.
The location also makes it possible to combine a morning match with other Canggu activities. Bali Social Club, which offers sports and wellness facilities including padel-related activities, is around 100 metres away. Other venues and attractions can be reached by arranging local transport, depending on traffic and the destination.
After a match, return to your own pool, prepare something in the kitchen, or arrange a massage, breakfast, or transport in advance. These services can be organised with at least one day’s notice, subject to availability.
For longer stays or group trips, the villa format also gives everyone more flexibility: some guests can play while others relax, work remotely, or explore the neighbourhood.
