Padel and Tennis Court Construction in the Riviera Maya
A padel court is a precision slab with a glass box on top: if the concrete is off by a few millimetres, the ball bounces wrong and the glass cracks. We build padel and tennis courts for villas, hotels, clubs and gated communities as one package: soil study, slab and drainage, certified court structure, artificial grass or acrylic surface, LED lighting and, when the sun demands it, a steel canopy.
What We Build
Panoramic Padel Courts
10 × 20 m courts with 12 mm tempered glass, hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated structure for salt air.
Tennis Courts
Acrylic hard courts on post-tensioned or reinforced slabs, with nets, fences and windbreak mesh.
Slabs & Drainage
Laser-levelled slabs with 1% fall, joints planned around the court lines and drainage that clears a tropical storm.
LED Sports Lighting
Glare-free LED floodlights sized for club play, with timers and dimming to respect neighbours.
Canopies & Clubs
Steel canopies for year-round play, plus changing rooms, bar and seating for hotel and club projects.
Resurfacing & Repairs
New artificial grass, glass replacement, acrylic resurfacing and lighting upgrades on existing courts.
Why courts fail on this coast, and how we build them to last
Three things ruin courts in the Riviera Maya: slabs that settle or crack on poorly compacted fill, corrosion of untreated steel within two seasons of salt air, and standing water after downpours. We start with a soil study, compact the base in tested layers, pour a slab with controlled flatness (±3 mm under a 3 m straightedge) and specify galvanised, powder-coated structures with stainless fixings. The court installer works on our slab, under our schedule, so nobody blames anybody else.
Padel or tennis, open or covered
- Space: a padel court needs about 11 × 21 m with clearances; a tennis court about 18 × 36 m. Two padel courts fit where one tennis court would go.
- Surface: artificial grass with silica sand for padel; acrylic hard court for tennis, which suits the heat better than clay.
- Cover: a canopy roughly doubles the investment but adds the midday hours and the rainy season, which is what makes a hotel or club court pay.
- Permits: a court is a structure: licence, setbacks and, in gated communities, the HOA's rules on lighting and noise.
