Padel Courts in Malta

Malta has 11 padel venues and 35 courts across the islands, making it one of the smaller padel markets in the Mediterranean. Despite its size, the sport is gaining attention among both locals and tourists, thanks to Malta’s sunny climate and outdoor lifestyle. Most padel activity is concentrated in the northern and central regions, where expat communities and holidaymakers drive demand. For now, padel is still a niche sport here, but that is changing. The absence of a dedicated governing body means the sport is managed by individual clubs and regional networks. This creates an opportunity for early movers to shape the scene. If you’re visiting Malta, you’ll find that tennis clubs and multi-sport facilities are beginning to add padel courts, although the total remains low. To help you plan your game, we’ve put together answers to the most common questions about playing padel in Malta, from where to find courts to how costs compare with neighbouring Italy and Spain. As the sport grows, keep an eye on this page for live updates on venue and court counts.

Frequently asked questions

How popular is padel in Malta right now?TrustPadel

Padel is still an emerging sport in Malta. With 11 venues and 35 courts, the sport is far less established than in Spain or Italy. However, interest is growing, especially among younger professionals and expats. The limited supply means courts often have high utilisation when they do open.

Where should I start if I want to play padel in Malta for the first time?TrustPadel

Start by checking the current list of venues on this page. Since 11 venues exist, you’ll need to contact them directly to ask about booking, equipment hire, and beginner sessions. Many venues are attached to tennis clubs, so ask about padel-specific social leagues or coaching. If you have no prior experience, look for venues with padel coaches — the sport is easier to pick up than tennis, but angles and wall play take practice.

Which cities or areas in Malta are the biggest padel hubs?TrustPadel

The largest padel hubs in Malta are typically found in the central and northern regions, including Sliema, St Julian’s, and Birkirkara. These areas have the highest concentration of expats and tourists, which drives demand. However, with only 11 venues in total, no single city has a dense network of courts. As the sport grows, these seaside towns are likely to lead the way.

Is there a national padel governing body in Malta?TrustPadel

As of this writing, Malta does not have a recognised national padel governing body. The sport operates through individual clubs and informal groups. This mirrors the early stages of padel in other countries. If you want to get involved, your best bet is to contact the existing venues directly and ask about local tournaments or leagues — they’ll know the scene better than any official body.

How do padel prices in Malta compare with neighbouring countries like Italy or Sicily?TrustPadel

Padel prices in Malta tend to be slightly higher than the European average due to the island’s small market and import costs. Renting a court for an hour in Malta can range anywhere from €10 to €20 (about £9 to £17), depending on the venue, time, and whether you need to hire a racket. In Italy, similar courts might cost €6–€12, while in Spain prices are even lower. Expect to pay a premium in Malta for the convenience of year-round outdoor play.

Is padel in Malta mainly played indoors or outdoors?TrustPadel

In Malta, the mild Mediterranean climate means padel is predominantly played outdoors. With no snow or extreme heat for much of the year, outdoor courts are a natural fit. There are currently no dedicated indoor padel facilities among the 11 venues — most courts are either uncovered or have semi-covered canopies. That said, some multi-sport complexes offer covered courts to protect against the occasional rain shower.
