Watersedge Tennis Courts

Watersedge Tennis Courts describes its offer as your tennis game with a sea view, and from the photographs it is easy to see why. The main courts sit on the rocky shoreline at the Radisson Blu in St Julian's, in blue hard-court surfaces with the Mediterranean on one side and the lights of the coast on the other.

The business also runs two courts at St Michael's in San Ġwann, so there are two bases for hourly court hire. It is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk in our directory of tennis clubs and courts in Malta, which is a helpful place to compare options if you want to play during a stay.

Booking courts at Radisson St Julian's

The St Julian's site has two courts, called Court One and Court Two, and each is booked online by the hour. Prices depend on the time of day. Slots from 7:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 22:00 cost €15 an hour, while the cheaper rate of €12 an hour applies at the other times listed on the booking page.

Racket rental is €5 an hour and a set of four tennis balls is €4 an hour, so you can arrive with nothing but your trainers. Floodlights are switched on from a push-button timer on each court, which suits the long summer evenings, and prices are quoted per hour of court time. If rain makes a court unplayable, the booking is rescheduled. Visitors staying nearby may like our overview of hotels in Sliema and St Julian's.

The San Ġwann courts

Watersedge also operates two courts at St Michael's in San Ġwann. Court One and Court Two can be booked from 8:00 to 20:00 at €10 an hour, which makes this site a good choice for daytime play. The same rule applies on bad-weather days, with the booking rescheduled when a court cannot be used.

San Ġwann is a residential town inland of Sliema and St Julian's, and the closest gym in our directory is the 24/7 Fitness Club in San Ġwann, handy if you want to combine tennis with a workout.

Coaching and where to play

Tennis coaching is offered through the business, and you can ask about it through the contact route on its site. Details of coaches and lesson prices are not published, so it is worth asking before you plan around them. Beginners, returning players and families should say what they need when they enquire, so the right session can be arranged.

Malta's mild climate makes outdoor tennis possible for much of the year, though the middle of a summer afternoon can be very hot, so our Malta weather guide is useful when deciding when to book. For wider plans, see things to do in Malta and our Malta holidays overview, and travellers coming from Britain can check flights to Malta.

Planning your game

Combining a game with a day on the coast is easy in this part of the island. After play you can walk the seafront, and our guide to the best beaches in Malta will help you choose where to swim. Our broader guide to Malta covers the island's regions, language and practical basics for first-time visitors from the UK.

Because booking is done online by the hour and prices vary by time, the simplest approach is to pick a slot, bring your own racket or hire one, and arrive in good time. People who move to the island may also find our Malta relocation guide useful for finding the local sports scene.
