Padel fans on Hong Kong Island, this one is for you! The sport that has taken over everyone’s group chat is getting a proper home on this side of the harbour, and you can reach it by MTR rather than a weekend drive to Sai Kung. Swire Properties has confirmed that Taikoo Place Padel Club opens to tenants and the public in mid-November 2026 at 8 Shipyard Lane and 1067 King’s Road, just a short walk from Taikoo Station.
Six international competition-standard courts, three covered and three open-air, make it Hong Kong’s largest urban padel club, and it comes loaded: food and retail, an open event space, plus cold plunge and sauna recovery facilities for when your legs remind you that doubles is real exercise. PADEL+ is running the whole thing. Clear the calendar.
Padel’s appeal is no mystery. Doubles on a smaller enclosed court, glass walls that keep the ball alive, and most beginners holding a rally within one lesson. That is why the first courts at Taikoo Place took off. Since Swire Properties became the first Hong Kong developer to bring padel into a commercial district in 2024, the initiative has logged more than 4,100 hours of play, over 18,900 participant visits and more than 270 hours of corporate events. The new club is the permanent, far bigger version.
The programming already covers everyone. Taikoo Place has run school coaching, youth camps and social play, including community programmes with Laureus Sport for Good Hong Kong and Taikoo Primary School, plus an Inter-Corporate Tournament that drew 72 teams. PADEL+ adds private and group lessons from its Sai Kung academy. Bookings, memberships and launch clinics are still to be confirmed, so treat mid-November as a date to watch.
The three-and-three court split is the smart part: covered courts for an Island East downpour, open-air for a bright weekend morning. Afterwards, the cold plunge and sauna make a case for staying put, with Cityplaza close by for a post-game meal.

The Scoop: Taikoo Place Padel Club
When does Taikoo Place Padel Club open?
Mid-November 2026. Swire Properties and PADEL+ are opening six competition-standard courts at 8 Shipyard Lane and 1067 King’s Road, a short walk from Taikoo MTR. It will run seven days a week for tenants and the public. Follow Taikoo Place and PADEL+ the week bookings go live, as launch clinics will fill fast.
Can kids play padel at Taikoo Place?
Youth camps, school coaching and social play already ran here, including programmes with Taikoo Primary School. The club age policy is still to be confirmed. PADEL+ already teaches juniors in Sai Kung from about age 5–6, so ask about children’s lessons at launch and check the waiver. Never played? Book a clinic before a family court. See the city map in the padel and pickleball guide.
How many courts are there, and what if it rains?
Six courts: three covered, three open-air. That split makes it Hong Kong’s largest urban padel club. Book covered courts for weekday evenings and Island East showers; save open-air for a bright weekend morning. Cold plunge, sauna, food and retail sit on site, with Cityplaza nearby for a post-game meal.
How do I book a court or a lesson?
Bookings, memberships, hours and prices are not published yet. PADEL+ will add private and group lessons from its Sai Kung academy. Bring water and proper court shoes. Until rates drop, treat mid-November as a watch date rather than a walk-up.
Is this easier than driving to Sai Kung for padel?
Yes if you live or work on Hong Kong Island. You skip the tunnel and minibus and still get PADEL+ coaching. For the original club, kids’ classes and membership notes, read the PADEL+ Sai Kung guide.
We love a sport almost anyone can pick up in a single hour, on Hong Kong Island, right next to an MTR exit. Six courts, a sauna and a cold plunge mean this works as a quick weekday hit or a full weekend session. Padel without the cross-territory commute.
