DESTINATION & VENUE
CAMPS BAY - CAPE TOWN
Camps Bay brings together mountain, beach and city energy in one place. In May, the pace is measured, the light is softer and the area feels settled rather than busy.
Courts sit close to sought after restaurants, established spas and walkable accommodation. While matches play out, partners can dip in and out with spa time, long lunches and sunset drinks, all without leaving the neighbourhood.
The game takes centre stage and the weekend finds its flow.
THE ROTUNDA
All matches take place at the The Rotunda at The Bay Hotel.
Built in the early 1900s, the Rotunda has long been a gathering place in Camps Bay. Over the years it hosted dances, boxing matches and social events, drawing people in to watch, linger and be part of something shared.
That sense of closeness remains its defining feature. The circular layout keeps players and spectators within the same shared space, creating a focused and energetic atmosphere around every match. Newly installed sound and lighting elevate the setting further, adding pace, drama and presence to the on court action.
Padel fits this environment naturally. The game thrives on proximity, rhythm and collective attention, all of which the Rotunda delivers with ease. More than a venue, it sets the tone for the weekend.
