Book a padel court in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of Europe's fastest-growing padel markets in 2026. The city counts 20+ active padel venues with new openings every quarter, from 8-court outdoor clusters to high-ceiling indoor halls. The Dutch market settled almost entirely on Playtomic during the 2022-2025 boom, which makes Amsterdam one of the easiest cities in Europe to automate: Padel Snipe works on nearly every club that matters.

What sets Amsterdam apart: courts go up in unusual places, and you reach them by bike. Rooftop courts, converted shipyards, warehouse-style halls, most of them a sub-30-minute cycle away. Add a strong English-speaking community and pricing of €20-35 per court hour (against €40-100 in London), and it's an easy city to land in as a visiting player or a new expat.

Why Amsterdam padel exploded after 2022

Three structural advantages explain Amsterdam's rapid padel rise:

1. Real-estate flexibility. Amsterdam has a lot of industrial space outside the canal-belt centre, and warehouses became padel halls in record time. XNRGY's 12-meter ceilings, NDSM's waterfront site and B. Amsterdam's rooftop venue all came out of that same real-estate mix.

2. Cycling-friendly logistics. Reaching a padel club by bike in 20-30 minutes is the norm, not the exception. This integrated padel into the daily rhythm of urban life rather than treating it as a destination sport requiring car logistics.

3. Bilingual community. The English-Dutch dual culture lowered the barrier for international players, expats and tourists. Playtomic Open Matches in Amsterdam regularly mix locals with visitors at the same level.

Result: from almost no Amsterdam padel in 2020 to a 20+ venue scene in 2026, and more sites still opening through 2026-2027.

Why booking padel in Amsterdam is straightforward

Amsterdam is one of the easiest padel markets in Europe to automate, and not by accident.

Unlike Marseille, Toulouse or Nice (where 30-50% of clubs run their own booking systems), Amsterdam settled almost entirely on Playtomic during the 2022-2025 boom. The major venues (Padeldam, XNRGY, Plaza Padel, B. Amsterdam Padel, NDSM Padel, BP Padel) all use Playtomic. A small minority of community courts use other platforms, but the prime-time market is essentially Playtomic-only.

For a regular Amsterdam player, this means: install Playtomic, configure 2-3 priority clubs in Padel Snipe, and you've covered most of the prime-time slots. The complexity that defines markets like Nice (where 4-5 different platforms coexist) doesn't exist here.

The Amsterdam padel clubs to know

Below are the main Amsterdam padel venues we could publicly verify. All are on Playtomic, so Padel Snipe handles every one of them.

Padeldam, Amsterdam's biggest outdoor cluster

At Sportpark de Eendracht in west Amsterdam, 13 courts total: 8 outdoor + 3 covered + 2 single. The biggest outdoor padel cluster in the city by some margin. Spring and summer prime-time slots go within minutes of release. Playtomic bookings. Often the first club Amsterdam regulars set as priority 1 for outdoor play.

XNRGY Amsterdam, the premium build

14 courts with 12-meter ceilings, one of the most ambitious indoor builds in the Netherlands. Premium pricing (€30-35/court), but the build quality earns it for regular players. Playtomic bookings.

Plaza Padel Amsterdam

8 indoor padel courts plus 1 single indoor court, with meeting rooms, a horeca area and integrated padel shop. Multi-purpose venue that works well for corporate events and clubs alike. Playtomic bookings, often a strong fallback option when Padeldam outdoor slots are full.

B. Amsterdam Padel (powered by PadelCasa)

One of the first padel clubs to open in Amsterdam, out west. Its calling card: a rooftop restaurant on the 5th floor, the only padel venue in the city with that setup. Good for hanging around as much as playing. Playtomic bookings.

NDSM Padel, the waterfront site

In the NDSM area, the converted shipyard zone in north Amsterdam. Industrial feel, easy ferry access from central Amsterdam. Multi-court venue on Playtomic. Worth pairing with a wider NDSM-area visit if you're making the trip.

BP Padel

Multi-court venue on Playtomic. Solid, well-equipped club that rounds out the priority-2 or priority-3 options for Amsterdam regulars.

Other notable venues exist across the metro area (Padel City Amsterdam, several community sites). For ongoing Dutch padel coverage, the Playtomic Amsterdam directory lists all currently-open clubs. The Global Padel Report publishes Netherlands-specific data quarterly.

How much does padel cost in Amsterdam

Amsterdam offers competitive pricing for the quality:

Standard clubs: €20-28 per court hour, i.e. €5-7 per player at 4. Padeldam, Plaza Padel and most established venues sit in this range.

Premium venues: €30-35 per court hour at XNRGY and a few specialised sites. €8-9 per player at 4. The premium reflects the build quality (high ceilings, modern surfaces) rather than location alone.

Equipment rental: most clubs rent rackets at €3-5 per session, handy if you're travelling without your own gear. Bring your own if you play seriously; the rental stock is rarely great.

Padel Snipe doesn't change prices: the bot books at exactly the rate the club displays on Playtomic at request time.

Amsterdam vs other European padel destinations

How does Amsterdam compare to Madrid, London, Stockholm for a travelling player?

vs Madrid: Madrid wins on volume, coaching depth, and prices for intensive stage-style trips. Amsterdam wins on architectural variety, English-friendly community, and a less commercialised feel.

vs London: London sits at higher prices (£40-100 vs €20-35) with a similar premium-venue concentration. Amsterdam offers better value for similar quality, plus easier logistics by bike.

vs Stockholm: Stockholm has more iconic venues (rooftop ASCARO, CAVE Padel) and a stronger established community. Amsterdam is younger but growing faster, with a more bilingual / international feel.

What Padel Snipe brings to Amsterdam concretely

Three measurable things, applicable to nearly every Amsterdam club (Playtomic-dominant market):

1. Speed. Booking request fires faster than any human can click after the Playtomic window opens. On Padeldam Saturday-morning outdoor slots or XNRGY weekday evenings, that's the difference between getting the court and waiting another week.

2. Multi-club with priorities. Set Padeldam as 1st choice (outdoor season), XNRGY as 2nd, Plaza Padel as fallback. If the first slot is taken, Padel Snipe moves to the next automatically.

3. Nothing to manage daily. Schedule recurring slots and forget about it. Telegram or email notification when the booking is confirmed.

The Pro plan at €14/month covers up to 5 simultaneous slots with 3 clubs each. Amsterdam is one of the cleanest Padel Snipe markets in Europe: almost every club that matters can be automated. Use the supported-clubs search to verify, and start the free trial in 2 minutes.
