A few years ago, if you wanted to play padel in Paphos, you probably needed optimism and a plane ticket.

Now?

Courts are appearing across the city. Rackets are swinging. WhatsApp groups are buzzing. Expats and locals are discovering that this glass surrounded playground is seriously addictive.

Padel is still new in Paphos. And that is exactly what makes this moment special.

Right now there are around ten padel clubs and courts in the area. That means you are not just joining a sport. You are stepping into a growing community and helping shape the future of padel in Southern Cyprus.

Let us take a look at where you can play.

Here are the active locations where you can step on court:

That is a serious number for a sport that only recently started gaining momentum here.

Because the scene is still young.

You are not entering a crowded, over saturated market. You are joining at the growth stage. Courts are active but not impossible to book. Players are enthusiastic. Coaches have time to focus on beginners.

Expats bring experience from Spain, Sweden, Italy, and beyond. Locals bring curiosity and energy. Beginners step onto the court slightly nervous and leave smiling.

It is a mix that creates something powerful.

You are playing under blue skies. You finish a match and grab coffee nearby. You meet people from different countries who all share the same new obsession.

Padel in Paphos is not just about competition. It is about community.

And when a sport builds community, it grows naturally.

If the current trend continues, more courts will follow. More tournaments. More structured training. A higher overall level.

But right now, you are at the beginning of the wave.

That is the best place to be.

Because one day people will say, remember when padel in Paphos was just starting.

And you will smile.

You were already playing.
