Club Lacoste Bali: Padel Takes Residence at W Bali Seminyak

Bali has played a fundamental role in Indonesia's padel boom. An ever-expanding network of clubs, an international playing community, and the island's established appeal as a travel destination have helped the sport find a strong following here. Today, padel sits comfortably alongside the many experiences that bring visitors to Bali.

The arrival of Club Lacoste Bali at W Bali - Seminyak introduces another dimension to that relationship. Opened in September 2026, the collaboration brings two outdoor padel courts, a Lacoste boutique, and dedicated player facilities to the beachfront resort. The three-year partnership brings together Lacoste's sporting heritage and W Bali's distinctive approach to hospitality.

It also marks a new addition to the SET Away hotel collection, introducing a luxury padel holiday that brings together a stay at W Bali - Seminyak, time on court at Club Lacoste, and time off court curated for whatever appeals to you, whether that’s wellness, surfing or discovering Bali’s food scene.

Stays arranged through SET Away include complimentary daily breakfast, priority upgrades, and US$100 in resort credit, among other hotel benefits.

Located on Petitenget Beach, W Bali - Seminyak occupies one of the island's most recognisable hospitality addresses. Seminyak has long been associated with Bali's restaurant, nightlife, and boutique scene, attracting travellers who want social life without compromising on accommodation.

W Bali offers its own interpretation of that experience, combining the brand’s signature contemporary design, music and lively atmosphere with Balinese influences woven throughout the resort. 

Guests can spend an entire day within the resort, moving between the pool, restaurants and beachfront, while Seminyak's wider dining and shopping scene remains within reach.

Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to private-pool villas, including multi-bedroom options for families and groups. Ocean-facing accommodation offers views across the coastline, while the villas provide additional privacy and shared living spaces.

The resort's facilities are extensive. WET, the hotel's signature pool, draws inspiration from Bali's traditional subak irrigation system, translating the island's agricultural landscape into a contemporary design. AWAY Spa offers a dedicated wellness setting, while FIT provides fitness facilities for guests maintaining their routines.

There is also a strong dining identity throughout. Starfish Bloo brings an oceanfront setting to the resort's culinary offering, while FIRE provides a contrasting dining experience centred on the grill. 

More recently, the resort introduced Alunê, a reimagining of its beachfront social venue. The development adds another dimension to the dining and entertainment offering, bringing together music, food and the oceanfront atmosphere the property is known for.

W Bali - Seminyak joins the SET Away hotel collection, bringing together a beachfront stay with padel at Club Lacoste and a holiday designed around you.

Every SET Away trip is bespoke.

The partnership between Lacoste and W Bali - Seminyak builds on an existing regional relationship between the two brands. In a TravelTalk interview, General Manager Laurens Kritzinger discussed how that relationship led to the collaboration, bringing Lacoste's racket-sport heritage into one of Bali's most established beachfront resorts.

Founded in 1933 by French tennis champion René Lacoste, the brand has maintained a close association with racket sports throughout its history. Its growing presence in padel represents an extension of that identity, combining technical sporting products with the distinctive design language that has become synonymous with Lacoste.

The opening of Club Lacoste Bali coincides with the brand's expansion into padel equipment. In September 2026, Lacoste introduced its first complete padel collection, featuring the L.MAX and L.SOFT rackets developed with Tecnifibre, alongside technical apparel, footwear and accessories. The collection brings Lacoste's design and performance ambitions into a sport that continues to attract new players internationally.

At W Bali - Seminyak, a dedicated Lacoste boutique complements the playing facilities, allowing the brand's latest padel offering to become part of the wider club experience. The boutique also gives Club Lacoste a more developed identity than a standalone pair of courts, bringing together sport, retail and hospitality within the same setting.

The three-year agreement establishes a longer-term presence for Lacoste, with the courts accessible to both hotel guests and the public. The collaboration connects the resort with Bali's existing padel community while offering visiting players the convenience of staying and playing at the same address.

For W Bali - Seminyak, Club Lacoste adds a sporting dimension to its established hospitality offering. For Lacoste, the resort provides an international audience and a distinctive setting to develop its padel presence. 

There is also a wider significance to the choice of location. Seminyak has an established reputation as a hospitality destination, with travellers often selecting their accommodation around dining, beach access and neighbourhood character. Introducing a padel club adds another reason to choose the property, particularly for visitors who play regularly and want to do so while travelling.

Club Lacoste Bali features two outdoor padel courts, plus locker facilities, lounge areas and a dedicated Lacoste boutique. 

For staying guests, the appeal is immediate. A morning match can be followed by breakfast overlooking the ocean, while an evening session leaves the day available for the beach, wellness, or exploring Seminyak. With the courts located within the property, padel becomes a natural part of the stay rather than a separate excursion.

The outdoor courts also invite a considered playing schedule. Bali's tropical climate makes early mornings and evenings particularly appealing, while advance reservations are advisable for groups planning multiple sessions. Whether travelling as a pair, with friends or as a larger community, the experience can accommodate different preferences for social and competitive play, subject to court availability.

The club's accessibility beyond hotel guests is another important aspect of the collaboration. Bali already has an active padel community, and Club Lacoste creates another point of connection between local players and international visitors. Its presence gives the sport a distinctive setting, combining the familiarity of a padel club with the wider experience of a beachfront resort.

The scale of the venue also contributes to its character. With two courts, Club Lacoste offers a more intimate playing environment than a large dedicated sporting complex. For smaller travelling groups, this creates opportunities to organise matches around a shared holiday, with time between sessions spent enjoying the hotel.

Padel has always had a strong social dimension, and that remains relevant when travelling. A holiday built around padel can accommodate different levels of experience while giving the group a common reason to travel.

Part of W Bali's appeal lies in its location. Petitenget offers a particularly established part of Seminyak, with restaurants, cafés, boutiques and beach venues contributing to the neighbourhood's identity. 

The rhythm of a holiday here can be shaped around the travelling party. Some guests may prefer to start the day with padel before spending the afternoon by the pool. Others may favour a slower morning, an evening match and dinner at one of the hotel's restaurants. 

For couples, the attraction may be the opportunity to combine a favourite sport with a beachfront stay. For families, the hotel offers activities and facilities beyond padel, allowing different members of the group to enjoy the destination in their own way. Friends travelling together can spend time on court while retaining the flexibility to explore Seminyak or relax at the resort.

This flexibility is particularly important for a holiday involving players of different abilities or interests. Not everyone needs to spend the same amount of time on court, and the experience should leave room for the destination itself. 

The property's social character is also worth considering. W Bali is known for music, dining and a lively atmosphere, distinguishing it from more secluded resorts elsewhere on the island. 

It is this combination that makes Club Lacoste a particularly relevant addition. The courts introduce a sporting experience without changing the identity of the resort.

With Club Lacoste on site, W Bali - Seminyak brings beachfront hospitality and padel together at one address. Through SET Away, you can make it your own, with a bespoke itinerary, exclusive benefits and a dedicated travel designer on hand throughout.
