With indoor and outdoor clubs, state-of-the-art facilities, a laid-back atmosphere, and sometimes even an on-site bar or terrace, the capital has no shortage of places to get started or improve your game. Here’s a selection of must-visit spots to play padel in Brussels, whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced player!

A comprehensive and inspiring venue to experience padel in a whole new way, right in the heart of Brussels.
Royal Racing Club
A Brussels institution founded in 1891, the Royal Racing Club of Brussels, or “the Racing,” captivates visitors with its prestige as much as its exceptional natural setting on the edge of the Sonian Forest. Nestled in Uccle, the club now offers three outdoor padel courts—a rapidly growing sport that perfectly complements its existing sports offerings, which already include tennis and field hockey. After a match, guests are welcome to extend the experience on the terrace of the “1891” restaurant, which overlooks the courts. A lush, elegant setting for playing padel in a truly club-like atmosphere.
Forest Domaine offers a lush, peaceful setting ideal for learning or perfecting your padel game. The club features three brand-new courts, complementing an already well-equipped facility with its 16 tennis courts. After a workout, it’s time to unwind: the “La Table du Domaine” brasserie and its spacious terrace invite you to extend the experience in a friendly atmosphere. A place where sports and relaxation coexist in perfect harmony, right in the heart of the city.
The first padel club to open in Brussels, White Star Padel has been in Evere since 2013. Today, it offers five high-quality courts. Two indoor glass-enclosed courts and three rooftop courts with panoramic views, offering breathtaking views of the city. Much more than just a sports center, the club fosters a strong sense of community through lessons, events, equipment rentals, and even a children’s play area. A welcoming and well-designed space to play padel year-round, regardless of your skill level.
