Sandals and Beaches have officially teamed up with USA Pickleball to become the exclusive all-inclusive resorts of the organization meaning the courts, coaches, and community are all top-notch!

You’ll find dedicated Pickleball courts across some of the most stunning islands in the Caribbean, including Jamaica, The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Curaçao, St. Vincent, Grenada, Antigua, and St. Lucia (home to the most courts — a whopping 18!)

Each resort offers the perfect balance of sport and serenity: think morning rallies followed by afternoon beach naps, and post-match cocktails overlooking turquoise waters.

For Every Type of Traveler

Sandals Resorts are adults-only, all-inclusive escapes where you can focus on your game (and your tan). Meanwhile, Beaches Resorts are family-friendly havens that let everyone join in on the Pickleball fun, even the kids!

Fun Pickleball Facts

Pickleball was invented in 1965 by three dads looking for a new summer activity for their kids.
It’s a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, played on a court about one-third the size of a tennis court.
In the U.S., it’s now the fastest-growing sport for the third year in a row, with over 13 million players!
It’s also one of the most social sports around — which makes it the perfect excuse for a group vacation.
