Padel on the Mediterranean's edge
Padel Holidays in Sicily
Sicily offers padel against a backdrop of coastline, volcanoes and some of the best food in the world. The island's scene is young but growing fast, and pairs beautifully with Taormina's clifftop views, Etna day-trips and long Mediterranean lunches.
Padel in Sicily
Padel in Sicily centres on resort towns like Taormina on the Ionian coast, where hotel and partner-club courts sit within reach of beaches and historic sights. It suits players after something different — quieter and more scenic than the Spanish hubs, with a slower pace and a strong focus on food, culture and coastline between matches.
Best time to play
Late spring and early autumn are ideal, with warm days and sea-warmed evenings; high summer is hot, so early or late play works best; and the shoulder seasons stay pleasant well into October.
Getting there
Catania airport is the gateway for Taormina and the east coast, roughly an hour away, with seasonal and year-round UK connections; Palermo serves the west of the island.
