Brushing up the backhand with tennis, squash and padel

All Ibiza

Exciting, competitive, and accessible to people of all ages and levels of talent, tennis and squash enjoy enduring popularity in Ibiza, as both a recreational activity and a spectator sport. Padel is a game up-and-coming to this region, typically played in doubles on a small, enclosed court. Scoring is the same as with conventional tennis, but the court has walls and the balls can be played off the walls in a similar way as with squash. Solid, string-less racquets are used.

Many of the luxury Cactus villas have a private court for guests to enjoy the sport in the privacy of their own Ibiza escape. Several sport clubs and hotels throughout the island rent courts out to non-members on request. Given the heat of the Ibiza summer, the best time to play is in the early morning or evenings. Courts are illuminated and the indoor court options are, of course, air conditioned.

Since a vacation has long been a time to explore new hobbies, take the opportunity to discover new adventures or get back to old habits. Tennis and padel trainers are available at the sport centres, or can be booked to work with you at your private luxury villa.

Club de Campo in Ibiza Town is the obvious choice for any racquet sport lover. Offering the widest range of courts on the island this sport centre is the ideal place to practice tennis and padel both indoors and outside. 6 clay courts and one hard court are available. It is said that one of the best tennis players of our modern age, Rafa Nadal, won his first tournament on court number one. If padel is your chosen game, Club de Campo has 7 outdoor courts and 6 indoor.
