The fast-paced racquet sport is suitable for all ages and skill levels
Padel is a fast-paced racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash, played in doubles on an enclosed court with glass walls. It is easy to learn, highly social, and suitable for all ages and skill levels, making it ideal for first-time players, families, social groups, and competitive athletes alike.
Sun International is smashing this craze by introducing padel to two of its East Coast properties. Sun Padel Sibaya is a premium padel destination within the iconic Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom precinct, offering one of the world’s fastest-growing sports in a vibrant, lifestyle-driven environment; Sun Padel Wild Coast with its state-of-the-art courts, aims to position padel as more than just a sport, but a signature lifestyle offering.
With decades of experience in gaming hospitality and entertainment, Sun International has built a reputation for reliability, excellence, and innovation so it’s no surprise it is at the forefront of this phenomenon.

At both locations, this is a premium sporting and social experience designed for players of every level. Whether you’re discovering padel for the first time or chasing competitive rallies, the world-class courts, electric atmosphere, and vibrant community make every match unforgettable.
Play under professional-grade conditions, feel the energy of great music, great people and great competition, then unwind off-court with friends, food, and drinks as the game carries on beyond the final point. From social games and coaching to leagues, events, and unforgettable match-day vibes, Sun Padel Sibaya and Sun Padel Wild Coast plan to bring people together through sport.
