Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, a luxurious island retreat, recently announced the unveiling of its latest attraction – a cutting-edge padel court located on a serene private islet in the heart of the Indian Ocean.
With the rising popularity of padel tennis worldwide, the resort invites guests to embrace the ‘padel mania’ and experience an unforgettable game amidst the turquoise waters and scenic beauty of the Raa Atoll.

A Floating Court Amidst Natural Beauty
Padel tennis, a sport that has steadily gained momentum since its humble beginnings in the 1970s, is now captivating sports enthusiasts and professionals alike across the globe. At Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, visitors have the chance to partake in this exhilarating racket sport in a truly extraordinary setting.
The newly introduced padel court at Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa is situated on a secluded islet, easily accessible via a picturesque jetty connected to the resort’s 7-hectare island. This over-water court offers unobstructed vistas of the Indian Ocean, allowing players to immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding coral reef and marine life while engaging in thrilling rallies with friends and family.
An All-Inclusive Sports Extravaganza
The island’s sporting delights don’t end with padel tennis. Guests can also indulge in friendly football matches on a multi-purpose field that offers breathtaking views of the ocean. Tennis enthusiasts can grab a racquet and rally on another court that complements the overall sports experience at the resort.
As part of The Emerald Collection’s signature Deluxe All-Inclusive Formula, guests can access the padel and tennis courts at no extra cost, regardless of the room category they choose.
