Pickleball in Paradise? Sandals and Beaches Are All In

From Sun-Soaked Courts to Ocean Views—This Is the Dream Combo

Looking for a vacation that mixes island vibes with endless court time? You might want to start packing your paddle. Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts have just been named the Official All-Inclusive Resorts of USA Pickleball—and they’re going big.

Across the Caribbean, Sandals and Beaches are turning up the heat with more than 70 courts (and counting), pro-level programming, and on-resort instructors trained by USA Pickleball. Translation: you get the relaxation of a luxury beach resort and the structure of a quality pickleball experience—all with no court fees, no gear fees, and zero excuses.

Take Sandals South Coast in Jamaica. It boasts 12 lighted courts on a gorgeous 50-acre stretch of oceanfront. Or Beaches Turks and Caicos, with eight courts ideal for multigenerational family showdowns—grandkids, meet your match.

Never played? No problem. Intro clinics, player matchups, and private lessons are part of the all-inclusive offering. For the more seasoned players, some resorts are even working in USA Pickleball-sanctioned events and tournaments. It’s a whole new level of pickleball-meets-paradise.

Plus, their partnership with USA Pickleball means more court upgrades, top-tier equipment, and exclusive vacation packages tailored to players. The goal: make it easy (and fun) to stay active on vacation without giving up the mojitos or the ocean view.

And they’re thinking beyond just guests. Sandals and Beaches are working with the USA Pickleball Serves program and their own Sandals Foundation to build community courts, host clinics for kids, and donate gear throughout the islands. It’s all part of growing the game the right way—from the ground up.

Whether you're planning a couples getaway, a family reunion, or a group trip with your regular playing crew, Sandals and Beaches now offer special group packages that include court reservations, tournaments, and even post-game receptions.

Bottom line: if you want to take your paddle somewhere warm, scenic, and built for serious fun, this is the kind of all-inclusive that actually includes the good stuff. Pickleball courts in paradise?

Yes, please.
