Choosing the best location to build a padel court in Indonesia involves more than just finding an open space—it requires strategic planning that balances climate, accessibility, land use, customer demographics, and local business goals. Whether you're a sports club, real estate developer, or entrepreneur planning to invest in Indonesia’s booming padel industry, selecting the right location is crucial to your court’s long-term success.
In this article, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when selecting a padel court site in Indonesia and how to avoid common location-related pitfalls. If you're seeking professional support and premium panoramic padel courts, Fortune offers customized indoor court solutions tailored to Indonesia's market needs.
Indonesia’s tropical climate features high humidity and regular rainfall, especially during the wet season. This makes indoor padel courts the most popular and practical choice for long-term operations, especially in urban centers like Jakarta, Surabaya, or Medan.
Outdoor courts are still feasible but require additional investment in roof structures or water drainage systems. However, as shown in recent trends, most Indonesian investors prefer Half Panoramic or 360° Full Panoramic indoor padel courts, which eliminate the need for complex roofing while delivering a high-end user experience.
→Tip: Building indoors ensures year-round usage and lower maintenance costs due to less weather exposure.
Urban areas in Indonesia like Jakarta, Bandung, or Denpasar attract younger, active communities who are open to new sports trends like padel. However, these areas also come with higher land rental costs and competition from existing sports facilities.
On the other hand, suburban areas or emerging towns offer more affordable space and the potential to build larger multi-court facilities or padel clubs. The downside may include slower initial foot traffic and the need for more aggressive marketing.
Key decision: If you aim to build brand visibility and attract premium clientele, urban indoor locations are ideal. If you’re targeting long-term growth and affordability, look into suburban industrial complexes or large gyms looking to diversify.
When building a padel court in Indonesia, prioritize easy access for players—especially in cities with traffic congestion like Jakarta. A court that’s hard to reach will likely struggle with bookings.
Location essentials:
● Near public transport lines
● Close to parking facilities
● Within or near commercial, fitness, or lifestyle hubs
● Visibility from main roads for passive promotion
You can also consider placing your court inside a mixed-use development or mall where traffic and footfall are already high.
Land size is another key concern. To build a standard panoramic padel court, you need at least 200 sqm per court, plus extra for player areas, seating, or waiting zones. If you plan to add a small café or retail area, calculate accordingly.
Before signing any lease or purchasing land:
● Verify zoning laws with the local government.
● Confirm whether the area is approved for commercial or recreational development.
● Avoid agricultural or protected zones that restrict new construction.
Your padel court isn’t just a place to play—it’s a brand and a lifestyle destination. A well-located court helps attract sponsorships, influencer attention, and event partnerships.
Key ideas for location branding:
● Build near a fitness community, university, or social club
● Co-brand with wellness, real estate, or hospitality businesses
● Use the visibility of your location to boost social media presence
Panoramic designs, especially the 360° Full Panoramic Padel Court from Fortune, allow spectators and players to feel connected, boosting shareable moments and organic marketing.
Based on recent buyer interviews, Indonesian clients commonly face:
Unclear rental agreements for padel space in malls or gyms
Land cost uncertainty and budget mismatches
Lack of indoor solutions that balance style and space efficiency
Delays from imported materials or lack of local expertise
