Construction has begun on Padium’s second UK padel club — and they’re hitting another capital city.
Having opened one of London’s most spectacular padel clubs in September 2023 in the shadow of Canary Wharf’s towering skyscrapers, Padium is now taking its premium facilities to Cardiff.
The new 35,000-square-foot club in Cardiff Bay Retail Park will feature eight indoor courts, making it the largest padel venue in Wales.
Set to open in late summer 2025, the club will mirror Canary Wharf’s premium look and feel, plus professional coaching and vibrant social atmosphere.
Padium’s arrival aligns with the major redevelopment of Cardiff Bay, including a 15,000-capacity indoor arena, new homes, offices and leisure facilities.
Currently, padel facilities in Cardiff are limited to a handful of outdoor courts, with no dedicated indoor premium clubs – a gap Padium aims to fill.
Houman Ashrafzadeh, Founder of Padium, said: “Bringing Padium to Cardiff is a significant milestone. The demand for high-quality padel facilities in Wales is at an all-time high, and we’re excited to introduce our premium offering to this vibrant sporting city.
“Cardiff Bay’s transformation makes it the perfect location for our next club, bringing together high-performance sport and lifestyle in a way that has resonated with London’s growing padel community.”
The new venue will feature state-of-the-art courts, a cafe/bar, pro shop, co-working space, players’ lounge, luxury changing facilities and a spa with a sauna and plunge pools.
