Sandals Resorts With Pickleball Courts
For pickleball aficionados planning your next adults-only all-inclusive Caribbean getaway, Sandals Resorts has you covered. They’re the official resort partner of USA Pickleball and have 64 courts throughout 14 of their resort properties like Jamaica, Saint Lucia, or Curacao.
Along with the dedicated courts, they also provide top-tier equipment and training. My wife and I showed up to one of the free group classes during our stay and ended up being the only ones there so it felt like a private lesson from a certified trainer!
Sandals keeps it pretty informal unlike a lot of other pickleball resorts. We loved the flexible hours and pick-up matches throughout the day (and night). You can play a few games, grab a drink, and head back to the beach without missing a beat.
Having been to all 17 Sandals Resort locations, I’ll share where to find the courts and my favorite resort options for your pickleball adventure!
