Whether you've never picked up a padel racket or you're chasing a better bandeja, Samui's clubs offer coaching for every level - including certified Spanish coaches, kids' programmes and ball-machine training. Here's where to book a session.
The island's most developed coaching set-up: certified Spanish coaches who speak English, Spanish and Thai, offering 1-to-1 private and group lessons plus kids' programmes from age 5, using a ball machine, cones and practice balls.
Coaching at the island's premium, tournament-hosting venue - ideal if you want to train on top-quality panoramic courts and sharpen up for competitive play. Lessons reported from around ฿2,500 per person per hour.
Private and group lessons with the club's coaches on covered courts, so rain never cancels your session. There's also a single (1-v-1) court that's perfect for focused technique work. Reported coaching from around ฿1,400 per person.
Coaching built into structured training - book individual sessions (reported around ฿1,000/hr) or join a multi-day padel retreat with personal-training sessions, matches and wellness folded into the week.
Most clubs handle coaching enquiries and pricing directly over WhatsApp or their booking app, and individual coach line-ups change with the season. The figures above are indicative - message the club to confirm availability, level and the current rate.
Padel is easy to start - the cage walls keep rallies alive, so beginners are playing points within the first hour. A coach gets you serving underarm and rallying quickly.
You'll learn the golden rule: win the net. Coaches drill movement, the bandeja and how to play off the back glass - the things that make padel click.
Finish with games, then book a social or join a club WhatsApp group to keep playing through your trip. Rackets and balls can be rented at every club.
