Pickleball Caribbean Brings the Game to Paradise
Pickleball Caribbean is changing the way travellers combine sport and leisure. The fast-paced blend of tennis, badminton, and table tennis has become a global sensation. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez play it. Now guests at Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts can enjoy the sport in some of the most beautiful destinations on earth.
The concept is simple. The game is easy to learn, fun for all ages, and highly social. In the Caribbean, it comes with warm breezes, ocean views, and courts just steps from the beach.
Courts Across the Caribbean
Sandals and Beaches Resorts now feature more than 70 professional Pickleball Caribbean courts. They span Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Grenada, The Bahamas, Curaçao, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Turks & Caicos Islands.
Every court is free to use for guests. Paddles, balls, and all equipment are included. Lighting allows for evening play, so matches can continue long after sunset.
Recognition from USA Pickleball
USA Pickleball named Sandals Resorts International the first “Official All-Inclusive Resorts” in the world. This recognition reflects the quality of the courts and the commitment to growing the sport.
Melody Cargill, Senior Manager of Fitness at Sandals Resorts International, explains:
“The rise of Pickleball has been extraordinary. Guests from around the world come to play, and we are investing in even more facilities and programmes.”
Training and Programmes for Every Level
Beginners can join weekly group lessons with certified coaches. Solo travellers meet partners through the “Solo Pickleballer” programme. Advanced players book private sessions to refine their game.
At Beaches Resorts, children and teens have their own classes. Families can compete together in friendly matches. The sport creates shared experiences for every generation.
Pickleball Caribbean for Groups
Groups of ten rooms or more enjoy exclusive court access, tournaments, and customised evening events. Friends, sports clubs, and corporate teams can combine active play with luxury stays.
Community Impact
Through USA Pickleball Serves and the Sandals Foundation, local children receive free lessons, equipment, and professional coaching. These projects make Pickleball Caribbean a bridge between travellers and island communities.
A Growing Future
Plans include more courts, certified resort trainers, and major events like the Golden Ticket Series and USA Pickleball National Championships. For travellers, it means more opportunities to play in paradise. For the Caribbean, it means more tourism, more activity, and more shared moments on the court.
