Best Padel Courts in Amsterdam (2026)

Amsterdam is the padel capital of the Netherlands. With 16 padel venues and 117 courts inside city limits, nowhere else in the country offers more choice. Whether you're looking for an open indoor court, an outdoor club on the city's edge, or a place you can play without a membership — Amsterdam has it all. This guide covers all 16 venues, how to book them, and what to look for.

Of the 117 courts in Amsterdam, 81 are indoor and 36 are outdoor — a deliberately indoor-heavy mix that makes Amsterdam a solid year-round padel city, even in winter and bad weather. 7 of the 16 venues are open access (book directly), 8 require a free account on the booking platform, and 1 is members-only. That makes Amsterdam one of the most accessible padel cities for beginners and visitors.

Peakz Padel has four Amsterdam locations — the biggest chain in the city. Peakz Padel Amsterdam Kauwgomballenkwartier sits on Willem Fenengastraat with 8 courts (6 indoor, 2 outdoor). It's open access — you can book online directly via the Peakz platform without a membership. Peakz Padel Amsterdam Olympiaplein is smaller but more central, with 3 outdoor courts at Olympiaplein 31I. Peakz Padel Amsterdam Sloterdijk offers 5 outdoor courts at Radarweg, and Peakz Padel Amsterdam Zuidoost is the largest of the four with 13 courts (10 indoor, 3 outdoor) at Lemelerbergweg. For Peakz venues you can use Peakz credits or book directly through their system.

Prices vary a lot by venue, time and season. We list prices on our venue pages where available, but for real-time rates and availability the best bet is Handler. Handler compares across all platforms (Peakz, Bookaball, Playtomic and more) so you can see the best deal at a glance. Off-peak hours (weekdays during the day) are usually the cheapest; peak times of 18:00-21:00 on weekdays and weekend mornings tend to be the most expensive and book up fastest.

You have two booking routes: directly at the venue (via Peakz, Bookaball, Playtomic or their own site) or via Handler. Handler searches all 16 Amsterdam venues simultaneously on one page — ideal when you want to see what's available at a specific time without opening each platform separately. You can also use Handler Claim to monitor cancellations: if a court opens up at your preferred venue, you get a WhatsApp. With Priority, Handler auto-books the moment the booking window opens — handy for popular evening slots.

Practical tips for padel in Amsterdam: book early in winter, because that's when the 81 indoor courts fill up fast. Indoor is playable year-round and weather-independent, which matters in a rainy city. In spring and summer, the 36 outdoor courts shine — Padeldam, the Peakz venues and the Amstelpark location of The Padellers offer great outdoor experiences. For beginners, the 7 open-access venues (Peakz × 4, The Padellers × 3) are the easiest starting point: no membership needed, just book online and play.

Amsterdam offers padel in every form: from the big indoor halls in West and Zuidoost to the intimate outdoor clubs on the city's edge. Start your search via Handler to see what's available today or this weekend, or browse the full overview of padel courts in Amsterdam. Happy padel!
