Tennis in Phuket: courts, clubs, and padel
Phuket's tennis scene is mid-size and honest about it: a handful of real clubs, hotel courts for guests, and padel arriving fast. Book the early-morning slots — by 10 am the heat is the opponent. One exclusion to note: Tennis Club Phuket on Damrong Road is listed as possibly temporarily closed, so it is not on this page. Six verified picks (2026-10-01).
