Where to play tennis in the Republic of Cyprus

You can play tennis in the Republic of Cyprus at clubs and tennis academies (including those participating in Cyprus Tennis Federation, CTF tournaments and leagues), on hotel courts, and at sports centers with online booking. As a price guide: at Tennis Academy Limassol in Limassol, online booking starts from approximately 20 EUR per hour (depending on the time and format). It is best to write or call in advance almost everywhere, as court schedules and coach availability change seasonally.

Tennis courts in the Republic of Cyprus

Below are several places where you can rent a court, find a sparring partner, and take lessons. Contacts and location links are provided.

Clubs/academies operating "under the federation" (CTF)

If you want to play in leagues/tournaments and follow the official Cyprus Tennis Federation (CTF) calendar, it is useful to check the list of clubs on the federation's platform. The CTF club search section displays 18 results: some are specifically clubs/academies, while others are organizational entries/individuals (they also appear in the search).

Clubs and academies usually sought first:

• ELEON TENNIS CLUB
• Famagusta Tennis Club
• Geroskipou Tennis Club
• Herodotou Tennis Academy Ltd
• IOANNIDES TENNIS ACADEMY
• Larnaca Tennis Club
• LIMASSOL SPORTING CLUB
• MASTERS TENNIS ACADEMY
• Max Tennis
• Nicosia Field Club
• PAPHOS TENNIS CLUB
• PREMIER TENNIS CLUB
• Valley Tennis Club
• Yeroskipou Tennis Club

You can check the current list here: club search on the CTF platform. If needed, you can separately collect the website/phone/address for each club (contacts are not always neatly published in one place).

Tennis courts at hotels

This is the "widest" layer: there are many hotels with courts in the Republic of Cyprus, especially in the resort areas of Ayia Napa / Protaras. In this article, it is more practical to provide a few examples and a source to check the full list for a specific resort.

Where to look "en masse"

• TripAdvisor selections by resort (e.g., "Hotels with Tennis Courts" for Protaras): list of Protaras hotels with courts.
• Booking aggregators and filters (Booking and similar): convenient if you are choosing accommodation and want a court "on-site".

Examples of hotels with courts

Important: the presence of a court at a hotel does not always mean "free rental." Courts are often available by prior arrangement, hotel guests may have priority, and equipment (rackets/balls) may require an additional fee.

"In between": resorts, sports centers, complexes

This category usually includes integrated resorts (where sports are a separate infrastructure, sometimes available to non-residents), sports centers/municipal courts with online booking, and tennis complexes with accommodation.

Aphrodite Hills Tennis Academy (Paphos area, Kouklia)

A tennis academy located within the resort: the official page lists 9 professional courts (5 hard and 4 red clay), as well as lessons/tournaments and additional infrastructure.

How to choose a court and book

What to clarify before booking

• Surface: hard/clay/artificial turf — affects the feel and physical load.
• Lighting: if you plan to play in the evening, check for floodlights.
• Equipment: whether you can rent a racket and balls, and if there is a shop/stringing service.
• Coach: individual and group lessons, the coach's language, age groups.
• Payment: cash/card, whether a deposit is required, and the cancellation rules.

How to do it

1. Choose a format: club/academy (regular games), hotel court (convenient "near your stay"), or sports center with online booking.
2. If tournaments and leagues are important, check the club on the CTF list and clarify participation conditions.
3. Contact the club and book a time (often faster via WhatsApp/social media).
4. If you don't have equipment, ask to reserve rackets/balls in advance.

Useful services for trips to the courts: you can conveniently compare car rentals at Localrent, and "door-to-door" transfers at GetTransfer.
