Padel Tennis is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world. Guests enjoying the sun, sand, diving and romance can add the sport to the fun things to do in the Maldives, with three of the Crown & Champa Resort collections of private islands providing the racquet sport at the resorts.
The very first Padel Tennis court in the Maldives opened at Kuredu Island Resort & Spa in 2018 and was followed by Hurawalhi Island Resort and Kudadoo Maldives Private Island by Hurawalhi. Meeru Maldives Resort Island and Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa also boast Padel course set amidst the island’s greenery.
An offshoot of tennis, the Padel tennis court is smaller than the tennis courts. An energizing racquet sport, it combines the elements of tennis, squash and racquetball and uses a solid padel with air holes as racquets. It is an ideal sport for all ages and skill levels. As the game is played in doubles, it makes a great family or couples activity and, when played in the balmy Maldives, a good tan.
