We could not be more excited writing about Island Padel.
Not only is it as brilliant a place for padel as we have ever found, amongst our contributors are squash fans who have over the years played in Jersey at the legendary squash festival which has been going for over 30 years, as far back as the first ever padel court in the UK. Check it out here…
This is Island Padel and we love it so much we are going to say it is one of the best places to play padel in the UK.
There’s another reason that we are sounding this place out is that one member of the UK Padel team had their first ever game of padel in Jersey. We think this was 2018. When we played in 2018 there were two court, fast forward four years and they have got three covered courts and two outdoor courts.
If you are on the mainland, get on a flight from Gatwick right now folks, this maybe Padel nirvana.
