Estepona to Build Heated Pool and 17 Padel Courts in New Sports Complex

Estepona town hall has signed the contract to build and operate a new sports complex in the Camino de las Mesas area, according to Euro Weekly News. Construction is expected to begin in early 2027.

The site sits between Calle Pases Bajos, Calle Francia and Avenida Puerta del Mar.

What the complex will include

The plans include a heated indoor swimming pool with tiered seating, 17 padel courts, two tennis courts and two petanca pitches. Petanca is a boules-style game popular across Spain. There will also be changing rooms, toilets, offices and parking for 80 vehicles.

The company building the complex has proposed installing solar panels, or a comparable renewable system, to cover at least half of the site’s electricity needs. The gardens will be planted with species that need little water and minimal maintenance.

Discounts and club access

People registered on Estepona’s padrón, the municipal register of residents, will pay 20% less to use the facilities. A separate agreement will allow members of the Club de Natación de Estepona, the local swimming club, to train in the new pool.

New free courts in Nueva Atalaya

Separately, two new free padel courts opened on Thursday, 8 October, in Nueva Atalaya. They join an existing padel court and a multi-sport court used for five-a-side football and basketball. The San Cristóbal residents’ association organised a free tournament to mark the opening.

Both projects form part of the council’s effort to bring sport to outlying neighbourhoods and widen free access. Further details are available on the Estepona Town Hall website.
