La Vila Joiosa is fun and sport. Kayaking, paddle-surfing, rowing, snorkeling, sailing and other nautical activities, hiking trails ... are some options to enjoy our time in a healthy way. Besides the activities we can enjoy in nature, either sea or mountain, you will also find different facilities to practice your favorite sports.
These sports facilities are headquarters and training spaces of local clubs that every year achieve great sporting results, in addition to promoting youth sport programs. They also organise different events at national and international level that make La Vila Joiosa a sporting reference.
Rugby La Vila, with its first team in the Honor Division, has its headquarters in the facilities of 'El Pantano'. Several teams of different categories train in this stadium, they also organise the 'Seven Costa Blanca' once a year, and there are different international meetings throughout the year.
Next to the rugby stadium we find the 'Pabellón Maisa Lloret', where we can practice different court sports such as basketball and handball, futsal...and it also has a “fronton” (a single-walled court to play `pelota games´). Our local clubs of different sports training in this pavilion also get great titles every season. The sports facilities in the area are completed with the Municipal Indoor Swimming Pool 'El Pantà'.
On the other hand we have sports facilities, playgrounds and multi-sports courts in the urban area such as: 'Polideportivo Marta Baldó', Villajoyosa Tennis Club, 'Padel La Vila', Ciutat Esportiva José Lloret 'Calsita' and the football stadium 'Nou Pla'.
It is also remarkable La Vila Joiosa 's long tradition of 'Pilota Valenciana'. With the school and with different teams in regional and provincial leagues, the 'Club de Pilota La Vila' keeps alive the practice of our local sport. The 'pilota' is traditionally played in Alicante Street, in the neighborhood of 'Poble Nou'.
