Where to Play Padel in Tbilisi: Courts, Prices & How to Book

Padel has exploded in Georgia. What was a niche racket sport a couple of years ago now fills courts across Tbilisi, with a fast-growing community and regular tournaments — the local scene keeps its calendar on Georgian Padel. It is also one of the easiest sports to pick up: you book an enclosed glass court by the hour, rackets and balls are usually included or cheap to rent, and you can show up and play on your first try.

The best places to play padel in Tbilisi

Courts have opened across the city — central, lakeside, and fully indoor. Here is where to go depending on what you are after:

• Cheapest — GymBreeze (Barbare Bairamashvili St 3). GymBreeze runs two clubs; this one, a little out from the center, is one of the cheapest listed here — from about 40 GEL/hour, open-air, so the pick when the budget matters and the weather is on your side. Rackets here are a small rental (~4 GEL) rather than included.
• Central and social — GymBreeze Ninoshvili (Egnate Ninoshvili St 64). Its busier, more central branch (around 60 GEL/hour), with cafés right next door — the spot to make a whole evening of it, not just play.
• Best for wind or rain — Padel Academy. Fully roofed and indoor — your best bet when the weather turns. A premium option at around 80 GEL/hour.
• Indoor, three locations — Padelbade. Weather-proof indoor courts at Krtsanisi (five premium courts), Dighomi, and Rustavi, priced at 60 GEL/hour on weekday daytimes and 80 GEL/hour at weekends. The newer Krtsanisi club also has cameras that record your match and hand you the score and video highlights afterward.
• Best for a day out — KUS TBA Padel. Eight courts right by the Kus Tba park — play a few games, then walk around the lake. Café and parking on site, around 80 GEL/hour.
• Play, then relax — Lemans Padel. Out by Lisi Lake, part of a bigger leisure complex with an open-air pool. Courts run around 70 GEL/hour; the pool is a separate add-on (about 80–100 GEL) — play your match, then cool off poolside.

GymBreeze Ninoshvili is the most central option in this list. Kus Tba and Lisi sit by the lakes on the western edge, GymBreeze Barbare and Padelbade’s Krtsanisi and Dighomi clubs are a short ride out, and Padelbade’s Rustavi court is a separate trip in the neighboring city, about 25 km out — so check the area before you pick.

A few more worth knowing: Tbilisi Padel (outdoor courts, easy online booking), Padel Island (locations at Lisi/Gymnasia and Expo Park), and Sportscape (a multi-sport complex with three courts).

What it costs

Padel is priced per court, per hour — not per person — so the cost splits between everyone playing. A court runs 40–80 GEL an hour, depending on the club, the time of day, and whether it is indoor or outdoor. Split between four players, that is roughly 10–20 GEL each for the hour.

Evenings and weekends are the busiest and can cost a little more; weekday daytimes are cheaper and easier to grab. Rackets and balls are usually included, though some clubs (GymBreeze, for one) rent them for a few GEL instead — so you rarely need your own gear. Prices were checked in June 2026, but they move — treat the figures here as typical rates and confirm the current one when you book.

How to book a court

Courts run on time slots, so book ahead for evenings and weekends — they often fill up. For now, the surest way is to book directly with the club through its own site (linked above). Check the cancellation window when you book, and arrive a few minutes early — if rackets are included, you just need comfortable clothes and clean court shoes.

PlayTime is launching soon to make finding and booking these courts easier — bringing participating venues together as they come online, so you can compare and reserve without hopping between sites.

Finding players

Padel is played in fours, and the hardest part is often rounding up a fourth. The easiest fix in Tbilisi: GymBreeze runs a WhatsApp group where players link up for games — say when you want to play and join a group that is a player short. Join the GymBreeze players group.

Some clubs will also help pair you up if you ask, and the wider community — casual games and tournaments — lives on Georgian Padel.

How padel works (the rules in a minute)

Padel is quick to learn — here are the basics:

• Played in fours, two against two. It is a doubles game.
• Small enclosed court, a good bit smaller than a tennis court, walled in glass you can play the ball off — a bit like squash.
• Solid, stringless rackets; the serve is underarm and has to bounce once before you hit it.
• Scored exactly like tennis — 15, 30, 40, then games and sets.
• The walls are in play. The ball can rebound off the glass and you can still return it, which keeps rallies long and makes the game surprisingly easy to get hooked on.

Tips for a good first game

• Book evenings early. Peak slots go fast; weekday daytime is the easy option for a spontaneous game.
• Outdoors in good weather, indoors when it turns. Outdoor courts are cheaper in season; indoor keeps you playing through rain and winter.
• Wear court shoes, not running shoes — better grip, and it protects the surface.
• Ask whether rackets are included if you do not own one — most beginner-friendly clubs provide them.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own racket?

Usually not — most Tbilisi clubs include rackets and balls in the court price, or rent them cheaply. Confirm when you book.

How many players do I need?

Four — padel is doubles, two against two. Short a player? See finding players.

How much does an hour of padel cost in Tbilisi?

Roughly 40–80 GEL per court (not per person), depending on the venue, time of day, and indoor vs. outdoor — about 10–20 GEL each split four ways.

Is padel hard for beginners?

No — it is one of the most beginner-friendly racket sports. The serve is gentle and the court is small, so most people are rallying and keeping score within their first session.

Do I have to book in advance?

For evenings and weekends, yes — those slots fill up. Weekday daytime is often free on short notice. Booking online lets you see what is open before you go.

Do I need to pay upfront?

It varies. Many clubs hold the slot and let you pay at the court, while some take a deposit or full online payment for peak times. Check the club’s terms when you book.

Ready to play?

Pick the court that suits you, book directly with the venue, and grab your slot before the evening fills up. And keep an eye out — PlayTime is launching soon to let you compare and book across participating venues as they come online.
