Padel Court on the Makarska Riviera: Play by the Adriatic at TUI BLUE Adriatic Beach

Looking for a padel court on the Makarska Riviera? TUI BLUE Adriatic Beach has opened the first dedicated padel court by the sea on this stretch of the Croatian coast, available daily to hotel guests and outside visitors. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned player, this is where your next game happens.

What Is Padel and Why Is Everyone Playing It?

Padel is the world’s fastest-growing racket sport and it’s easy to see why. Played on an enclosed court roughly a third of the size of a tennis court, the walls are part of the game. Like squash, balls can be played off the glass, which makes for longer, more dynamic rallies and a whole lot of fun. It’s typically played in doubles, making it as much a social experience as a sporting one.

Unlike tennis, which can take months before you feel comfortable, most players find their rhythm within the first session. Yet padel offers enough tactical depth to keep experienced players engaged for years. It’s the kind of sport you enjoy on day one of your holiday and plan your next game by day three.

The First Padel Court on the Makarska Riviera

The padel court at TUI BLUE Adriatic Beach sits within the resort grounds on the Makarska Riviera, one of Croatia’s most celebrated coastal destinations. The court is available daily from 07:00 to 22:00, with early morning sessions as the sun rises over the Biokovo mountains and evening games as the light fades over the Adriatic.

The court is open to both hotel guests and outside visitors, making it a genuine sports destination for anyone spending time along the Riviera. Equipment is available on-site, a set of two rackets can be rented for just €4 per session, and balls are always included. All you need to bring is yourself.

Padel on Holiday: Why the Makarska Riviera Is the Perfect Setting

Playing padel on the Makarska Riviera is an experience that goes well beyond the sport itself. The dramatic Biokovo massif rises behind the court while the clear turquoise waters of the Adriatic stretch out in front. No indoor court or city club can offer that.

Early morning slots are particularly popular, the air is cool, the light is soft, and the court is quiet. Evening sessions carry their own magic, finishing a game as the sun drops over the sea is the kind of holiday memory that stays with you. For those looking for sport activities in Makarska, padel is fast becoming the top choice.
