Best Hotels with Tennis Courts in Sharjah
2 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Sharjah . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Hotels with a tennis court are one of the rarer family amenities in Sharjah, with only two of the 20 properties we checked, Hotel Holiday International and Occidental Sharjah Grand, listing one. Hotel Holiday International runs a floodlit court alongside a kids' club, playground and heated pool, useful for an evening match once the daytime heat has passed, while Occidental Sharjah Grand pairs its court with a beachfront position and a playground, giving an older child a structured activity alongside the beach and pool routine most families build a Sharjah day around.
Tennis isn't a defining Sharjah activity the way it might be in a resort-heavy destination, and the city's sports culture leans more towards football pitches and public gyms than private courts, which explains why only two of the 20 hotels bother with one. For a family with a tennis-playing teenager, that scarcity makes the two available courts worth checking specifically rather than assuming any larger hotel will have one.

🎾Why Sharjah is Great for Hotels with Tennis
Hotel Holiday International's floodlit court sits within the same complex as its kids' club, playground, heated pool and bike rental, making it one of the most complete family-activity hotels in Sharjah for a group spanning a wide age range: a teenager can book the court for an evening match while younger siblings use the playground or the pool nearby at the same time. The one-kilometre distance to Gold Souq adds an easy add-on outing for the evening after a match, without needing a full taxi trip across town and back before bedtime.
Occidental Sharjah Grand's court sits within its beachfront complex, giving a family the option to split a day between beach time, pool time and a tennis match without leaving the property or repacking bags between activities. This suits a family staying several days who wants variety built into a single location rather than commuting between a beach hotel and a separate sports club, which isn't really an option in Sharjah's current hotel market for families travelling without a rental car and relying on taxis for every single trip across town.
Neither hotel publishes court booking procedures, equipment rental or coaching availability in what we reviewed, so a family planning around tennis specifically, rather than treating it as a bonus, should call ahead to confirm racket rental and whether the court needs advance booking during busier periods. Bringing rackets from home remains the safer plan if a specific match matters to the trip and equipment availability can't be confirmed in advance, since neither listing mentions a pro shop, a rental desk, published opening hours, or any coaching staff based permanently on-site.
Parent's take
The two tennis hotels in Sharjah solve different problems: Hotel Holiday International's floodlit court extends playing time into the cooler evening hours, useful for a teenager who wants a real match rather than a rushed pre-breakfast game, while Occidental Sharjah Grand folds tennis into a beachfront day that already includes the pool and playground. Neither hotel confirms equipment rental online, so a family for whom tennis is a trip priority rather than an occasional extra should call ahead or pack rackets rather than assume availability at check-in.

Hotel Holiday International
Sharjah

Hotel Holiday International overlooks Khalid Lagoon one kilometre from Gold Souq, with a heated outdoor pool, three on-site restaurants and a flood-lit tennis court alongside a gym. Its kids' club, playground and games room sit next to family suites with satellite TV and minibar, and a bike rental desk covers the lagoon promenade, with a spa wellness area for parents.
Why families love Hotel Holiday International
Families staying here will find the combination of a kids' club and a playground rare enough at this price point to plan a full free morning around it. The heated pool means the swim schedule isn't weather-dependent the way an unheated deck can be, and bike rental on the lagoon promenade gives older children an activity that isn't screen time. Gold Souq at one kilometre is walkable for a short outing rather than a full shopping trip.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Tennis in Sharjah
- 1Book Hotel Holiday International if evening tennis matters; its court is floodlit, extending playable hours well past the daytime heat that limits an unlit court to early morning only.
- 2Confirm racket rental directly with the hotel before travel; neither of the two tennis properties publishes equipment availability in their standard listings.
- 3Pick Occidental Sharjah Grand if tennis needs to sit alongside a beach and pool day, since its court is part of the same beachfront complex.
- 4Play early morning or evening rather than midday; Sharjah's daytime heat makes a full tennis match genuinely difficult outside a floodlit court after dark.
- 5Pack your own rackets if a specific match is a trip priority, since neither hotel confirms rental stock or condition in what we reviewed.
