The 10th Hospital de Santa Maria Open returns to Porto this June with five days of padel, music, and community celebration. Beyond competitive matches, the event features wellness zones, live entertainment, and family activities.
A Festival Beyond Competition
Porto's padel calendar reaches a significant milestone with the 10th edition of the Hospital de Santa Maria Open, running June 3–7. What began as a tournament has evolved into a comprehensive festival that caters to players of all levels and families seeking a padel-centered experience.
The event structure reflects this expanded vision. The Tournament Zone hosts competitive matches where the region's best players compete. Meanwhile, the Reset Zone offers ice baths, stretching sessions, breathing exercises, and a Wim Hof Method workshop—catering to players focused on recovery and wellness. The Athlete Zone provides on-site physiotherapy and massage services, recognizing the physical demands of padel competition.
Entertainment anchors the experience through the Caetano Toyota Fun Zone, which features sunset DJ sets and live concerts. For families, the Kids Zone (operating Saturday and Saturdays, 12pm–6pm) offers drawings, games, and inflatable attractions. Food and beverage vendors, a marketplace with brand activations, and a dedicated Matosinhos Zone showcasing the municipality round out the programming.
Community-First Approach
The Hospital de Santa Maria Open distinguishes itself through its commitment to inclusivity. All zones remain accessible to both tournament players and the general public, removing barriers between elite competition and casual participation. This philosophy transforms what could be an exclusive tournament into a genuine community gathering.
The event's growth over ten editions reflects Porto's padel development and the sport's capacity to unite diverse audiences. By integrating wellness, entertainment, family activities, and commerce within a single venue, the tournament demonstrates how padel events can extend beyond match results to create memorable experiences.
Players and spectators are encouraged to mark their calendars for June 3–7 in Porto. The Hospital de Santa Maria Open awaits.
