Discover Colosso - world-class padel with design-led hospitality

Melbourne’s newest lifestyle hub, Colosso, has officially opened at Westfield Southland, offering a new way to play, connect, and unwind. More than just a place to play padel, the world’s fastest-growing sport, Colosso blends world-class facilities with Melbourne’s signature design and hospitality culture, redefining what a social sporting experience can be.

Colosso provides a premium yet accessible space where players of all levels can enjoy sport in style, blending performance with social connection and modern design. “Colosso was built around the idea that sport should be as enjoyable off the court as it is on,” say founder Cale Hooker. “We wanted to create an environment that feels social, welcoming, and beautifully considered - a place people genuinely want to spend time in.”

Colosso combines world-class facilities with thoughtful touches usually reserved for Melbourne’s leading hospitality venues. The club features state-of-the-art padel courts, and event and function packages suited to both social and corporate occasions. The on-court experience is guided by Europe’s top professional padel coaches, bringing international expertise and energy to every session.

Players also have access to the Colosso x Osaka racquet range, crafted with Japanese Toray carbon, the same material used in F1 cars and fighter jets, for unparalleled performance, precision and style. Each racquet is designed to balance power and control, reflecting Colosso’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship in every detail.

While every aspect of Colosso is elevated, its vision remains inclusive. Free weekday intro sessions invite newcomers to try padel in a relaxed social setting, while offerings like Colosso Cubs (kids’ classes) and Colosso Ladies Night foster connection across all ages and abilities. A wide range of additional programs are also available, tailored to diff erent skill levels and styles of play.

“Our goal is to make everyone feel part of the energy,” says Hooker. “Whether you’re here for a first lesson, social match, or just a coffee with friends, Colosso is designed to feel welcoming and elevated.”

A blend of tennis and squash, padel has captured global attention for its simplicity, speed, and social appeal. Played on enclosed courts, the game has become a worldwide lifestyle movement, and Colosso is now leading its arrival in Australia.

By combining sport, design, and culture, Colosso provides a fresh way to connect and stay active, a place where sport blends seamlessly with lifestyle.

Colosso is now open located in P1 Green Car Park off Chesterville Rd.
