If you’ve been watching the growth of padel in Asia, you may already know that Vietnam is becoming a hot spot, and Da Nang’s Padel Xtra is helping lead the charge.
This isn’t just another sports facility; it’s a premium clubhouse, community hub, and incubator for the sport’s next wave in central Vietnam.
A Vision Turned Real
Situated at 8C Mỹ Đa Đông 8, Bắc Mỹ An, Ngu Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng, Padel Xtra is the city’s first dedicated padel club. With two world-class padel courts and two pickleball courts, the venue brings a versatile racquet sports offering under one roof.
It’s not just about courts though, the club also features a restaurant, café and a pro shop.
Padel Xtra’s aim is clear: to create not just a place to play, but a place to belong, a social and sporting destination for both locals and expatriates in Da Nang.
What You’ll Find There
Courts and Play Options
Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned player, Padel Xtra offers flexible court access. Court hire costs 750,000 VND per hour (around £21.00), which works out to roughly £5.25 per person for a one-hour session if you’re playing doubles.
You can book courts via their app or QR code system, making it easy to get on the court when you want. They host open play sessions, structured classes, and competitions throughout the year.
Pro Shop and Gear
Need a racket or fresh balls? The on-site pro shop stocks quality gear and rentals. For example, balls cost 50,000 VND for a pack of three, rackets rent for 100,000 VND, and there’s also apparel, hats, and bags available.
The Good Canteen
One of the standout features at Padel Xtra is The Good Canteen, the club’s restaurant and café. It’s not just a spot to refuel after a match, it’s become a favourite hangout for both players and visitors. The space has a laid-back but modern vibe, with open seating that overlooks the courts and plenty of natural light.
The menu is simple but well curated, offering quality coffee, smoothies, and fresh juices alongside healthy meals and light bites. Expect things like breakfast bowls, sandwiches, and pasta dishes made with fresh ingredients. It’s the kind of place you’d happily visit even if you weren’t playing padel.
The Good Canteen has become a social hub within the club, where post-match conversations stretch into the evening and locals mix with travellers passing through Da Nang. It captures the community spirit that Padel Xtra is building, blending sport, socialising, and good food in one spot.
Community and Programming
Padel Xtra doesn’t just open its gates and let visitors roam; it actively builds community. They offer private coaching, kids’ camps, tournaments, and social events designed to bring players together and grow the sport locally.
Why It Matters to Da Nang and Beyond
Padel is one of the fastest-growing racquet sports globally, combining elements of tennis and squash in an accessible format. What Padel Xtra is doing in Da Nang is significant, introducing a structured environment for the sport to flourish, offering excellent facilities, and making it approachable for newcomers.
For local athletes, it’s an opportunity to explore a new discipline. For tourists, it’s a fresh active experience to add between beach days and city tours. And for the community, it’s a new gathering point, a place where sport, social life, and design merge.
Tips for Your Visit
Book ahead, as courts can fill quickly during peak times. Bring your own gear if possible; while the pro shop is well-stocked, having your own racket means less reliance on rentals.
Try a lesson, even if you’ve never played padel before, as Padel Xtra offers beginner-friendly coaching to get you started. Stay after your match to grab a drink or meal at The Good Canteen and soak in the atmosphere with fellow players. For better court availability and cooler conditions, aim for early morning or later in the evening.
Padel Xtra isn’t just adding a new court to Da Nang’s sports map, it’s shaping how padel will grow there. For anyone in Vietnam or visiting central Vietnam, it’s a must-visit for sport lovers, social seekers, and community builders alike.
