Book a padel court in Barcelona

Barcelona is Spain's second padel market after Madrid, with a club density reflecting how long padel has been culturally rooted in Catalonia. From Sarrià to Barceloneta, from L'Hospitalet to El Prat, the metro area spans dozens of clubs, most of which are connected to Playtomic, the platform founded in Madrid in 2017 and historically dominant across the Spanish market.

This page lists five verified Playtomic clubs across Barcelona and its metro, their booking windows, observed prices, and what Padel Snipe actually delivers for players who want to lock in prime-time slots without manually refreshing at midnight.

Why Barcelona's best slots disappear in seconds

Competition in Barcelona concentrates on a specific window: weekday evenings (7-10pm) and Saturday mornings. Even with broad supply, the flagship indoor courts (Pluspadel Indoor in L'Hospitalet with 16 indoor courts, Padel Barcelona El Prat under cover, Fairplay on Montjuïc) sell out within 2 to 5 seconds of the Playtomic window opening. Recurring players (same slot every week) feel this hardest: one miss a month breaks the rhythm and demoralises the group.

Padel Snipe is built precisely for this: automate the capture at the exact moment Playtomic opens the window, running in the background, without needing to stare at your phone at the top of the hour. The service also handles priority between multiple clubs, useful in Barcelona where a centre-based player can cascade Fairplay → Club Natació → El Prat depending on preference.

Five verified Playtomic clubs in Barcelona

Padel Barcelona El Prat

Parc del Riu 3-4, Ronda de Llevant, in El Prat de Llobregat. Fourteen courts total: 10 outdoor and 4 covered, all floodlit, open 9am-11pm weekdays and 9am-10pm weekends. Gym, bar-restaurant, 150-space free parking. Bookings via Playtomic (playtomic.com/clubs/padel-barcelona-el-prat). The court-to-travel ratio from central Barcelona is excellent (20-25 min).

Pluspadel Indoor (L'Hospitalet de Llobregat)

Avinguda del Carrilet 219, 08907 L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Sixteen courts, exclusively indoor (15 for doubles + 1 singles), modern changing rooms, free parking, café and shop. Bookings via Playtomic. The club is also listed on MATCHi, but Playtomic slots are independent. Metro L9S or L1 access from Plaça d'Espanya.

Club Natació Barcelona

Passeig Joan de Borbó 93, Barceloneta. The historic swimming club runs four panoramic outdoor courts facing the sea, with views over the harbour and the W Hotel. Very high maintenance standards, clean turf despite the beachfront location. Café, changing rooms, equipment rental. Bookings on Playtomic. Among the city's higher rates, but a unique seafront experience.

Fairplay Padel (Montjuïc)

Carrer del Foc 2-6, 08038 Barcelona. Eight outdoor doubles courts plus one singles (9 total), climate-controlled changing rooms. Accessible by metro L9S or bus 125 (Foc-Metalúrgia stop). Bookings via Playtomic or by phone. Associated activities: lessons, americano and couple tournaments, player bulletin, equipment shop.

Artós Sports Club (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi)

Carrer dels Vergós 67, 08017 Barcelona. Eleven padel courts plus two football fields, nestled in the residential Sarrià district. Café-restaurant with terrace, parking, private classes for adults and children. Bookings via Playtomic (the club is listed as "Prisma Padel" on the platform). A solid option for a player based in Barcelona's north-western neighbourhoods.

Some Barcelona clubs use Playtomic alongside other platforms (notably MATCHi or an in-house app). Padel Snipe only covers slots available on Playtomic. If a club routes its best times through MATCHi instead of Playtomic, coverage is partial, and this is flagged in the in-app search.

Observed Playtomic windows

Each club sets its own rule in its Playtomic back office, typically between D-7 and D-3 for urban indoor venues, sometimes D-1 for smaller or municipal clubs. Padel Snipe auto-detects the applicable window when you add a club, with no manual setup.

Padel prices in Barcelona — what we see

Barcelona remains affordable compared to Paris or London, but sits slightly above Madrid on average. Observed orders of magnitude: €10-15/hour (full court) for suburban outdoor (El Prat, L'Hospitalet, municipal clubs); €15-22/hour for urban indoor (Pluspadel, Fairplay); €20-30/hour prime time on city-centre premium venues (Club Natació, some Artós evening slots). Split across 4 players, a game typically works out at €4-7 each. For the market reference, see the Spanish Padel Federation (FEP).

What Padel Snipe actually brings to Barcelona

Padel Snipe is an automation service: configure a priority list of clubs, target days and target times, and it fires the Playtomic booking attempt the millisecond the window opens. For Barcelona specifically, that means: locking in indoor prime time that clears within seconds; maintaining a recurring slot without refreshing manually at midnight; cascading through multiple clubs by priority (e.g. Fairplay → Pluspadel → El Prat) if the first is full.

Three important points. First, the service is best-effort, not a guarantee: availability depends on Playtomic and on competition for the slot. Our users report a high success rate on recurring slots; put us to the test with the free trial. Second, only Playtomic-connected clubs are in scope; MATCHi slots, in-house apps or phone bookings are out of reach. Third, your Playtomic credentials are encrypted with AES-256 before storage and no one reads them in plain text; authentication uses session cookies exactly like the official Playtomic app.

The Free plan covers 1 active slot; Pro (€14/month) unlocks 5 slots and up to 3 prioritised clubs per slot; Elite (€29/month) removes all limits. See full pricing or start directly via free registration.
