If you love keeping your racquet in hand while everyone else heads to the beach, the Maldives now gives you more options than most travelers expect. A growing number of resorts offer tennis courts, padel courts, or both, often with coaching, social matchplay, and beautiful ocean-side settings. The strongest picks are the ones that clearly publish proper racquet-sports facilities on their official sites—not just vague “sports” claims.
Top resorts
One&Only Reethi Rah
Best overall tennis + padel luxury resort
One&Only Reethi Rah stands out for its dedicated tennis and padel program, with two floodlit tennis courts and one padel court, plus coaching through LUX Tennis. It is one of the clearest Maldives resorts for guests who want proper racquet-sport structure rather than just casual court access.
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
Best polished tennis + padel coaching setup
Waldorf Astoria has a dedicated tennis and padel courts experience, with private lessons, social matchplay, and coaching from resident pro Radu Popa. It is a strong fit if you want luxury plus a more refined lesson-led experience.
Velaa Private Island Maldives
Most exclusive racquet-sports resort
Velaa is one of the most serious luxury picks for racquet-sport fans, with a covered tennis court and two padel courts as part of its sports complex. That makes it especially appealing if tennis or padel is more than just an occasional holiday activity for you.
Patina Maldives, Fari Islands
Best modern design-led tennis / padel resort
Patina’s official fitness-and-sports page features a tennis and padel court and says the resort regularly hosts coaching and guest matches in collaboration with LUX Tennis. It is a great choice if you want contemporary luxury with a stronger lifestyle-sport vibe.
SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton
Best padel-first resort near Malé
SAii Lagoon is one of the clearest padel picks in the country, with two GZ19 padel courts described as a first in the Maldives and supported by resident experts. It is ideal if padel is the priority and you want easy access from Malé.
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa
Best for guests who want multiple racket sports
Hideaway explicitly lists tennis, padel, badminton, and table tennis on professionally surfaced courts, which makes it one of the broadest racquet-sport resorts in the Maldives. It suits travelers who want variety rather than a single-court setup.
Meeru Maldives Resort Island
Best value tennis + padel resort
Meeru offers two grass-floored tennis courts and two padel tennis courts, all grouped around its sports center. It is one of the strongest value choices if you want both sports without stepping into ultra-luxury pricing.
Kuredu Island Resort & Spa, Maldives
Best active big-island resort with tennis + padel
Kuredu’s official site says the resort features tennis and paddle courts alongside its wider activity lineup, giving it a strong “sports plus holiday” appeal. It works especially well for mixed groups where not everyone is focused on racquet sports.
Lily Beach Resort & Spa
Best tennis-focused all-inclusive luxury pick
Lily Beach is the clearest tennis-first option on this list, with an all-purpose floodlit tennis court and established coaching support through RTC. It is a good choice if tennis matters more to you than padel.
