Indonesia's padel scene has exploded from just three clubs in 2021 to more than 500 today, with Jakarta driving the expansion and Bali, where the sport first took hold, still central to it.
The country offers two very different lifestyles: Jakarta's fast-moving city energy, or Bali's slower, international, island pace.
Indonesia suits coaches who want variety, from teaching complete beginners to training alongside some of the region's best players. Coaches are truly valued here, and part of the local scene way beyond just coaching.
AT A GLANCE
Padel scene in Indonesia
Growth in Jakarta has been explosive, with over 400 courts already open and more opening constantly. Bali remains Asia's padel capital: international, high-level, and where many foreign coaches dream of working. Both cities now host club tournaments on a par with those in Southern Europe.
DAY TO DAY
What to expect from life in Indonesia
Life in Indonesia depends heavily on where you land. Jakarta is a huge, busy capital with heavy traffic and a strong local community. Bali is slower, greener, and built around international and tourist life, with a much more relaxed pace day to day and a varying cost of living.
BUDGET
Cost of living in Indonesia
Living costs in Indonesia are relatively low compared with many coaching destinations. Jakarta is generally more affordable, while rent and Western-style living in Bali's most popular areas can increase monthly spending considerably.
| ITEM | COST (USD) |
|---|---|
| Comfortable all-in monthly budget, Jakarta | $1,500 |
| Comfortable all-in monthly budget, Bali | $2,000 |
| One-bedroom apartment, central Jakarta | $450 |
| Monthly transport pass, Jakarta | $15 |
| Night out in Bali | $50 |
| Gym membership, Jakarta | $30 |
Frequently asked questions
There's no fixed requirement, but a FIP certification or similar helps. Indonesia's padel federation (PBPI) joined FIP in 2025, and standards are rising as the market matures.
