Oriam

Oriam serves as Scotland's national performance centre, based on the Heriot-Watt University campus in west Edinburgh. The facility features indoor padel courts designed to offer consistent playing conditions year-round, shielded from Scottish weather. Built with tournament-grade synthetic turf and glass surrounds, the courts provide true ball bounce and optimal grip for fast-paced rallies. The community brings together university students, local Edinburgh sports enthusiasts, and club-level competitors. Whether jumping into casual social doubles, organised club nights, or individual drills, the environment is welcoming and focused on active play. Court hire is open to both Oriam members and pay-and-play visitors through the Oriam mobile app and online booking portal. With extensive on-site fitness suites, a cafe, and sports therapy clinics, Oriam offers a complete, purpose-built athletic setup for padel players across the Lothians.
