Sandals and Beaches are Official USA Pickleball Resorts

Share

Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts have been named the “Official All-Inclusive Resorts” of USA Pickleball, reinforcing their position as the Caribbean’s leading pickleball destination. With more courts than any other brand in the region—over 72 across their properties—these resorts are enhancing their pickleball programming with expanded clinics, upgraded facilities and expert staff training. The partnership will also support the addition of new courts and co-branded events, giving guests of all ages and skill levels unrivaled opportunities to play under sunlit skies and starlit nights.

The decision follows a comprehensive evaluation by USA Pickleball experts, who provided recommendations on court design, materials and spectator spaces. Melody Cargill, senior manager of fitness at Sandals Resorts International, notes that the sport’s popularity is soaring in the Caribbean. “We already welcome players from around the world to enjoy our 72 courts and counting,” Cargill said. “Now, with the backing of USA Pickleball, we’re in it for the long run—investing in our facilities, programming and staff to keep pace with demand.”

As part of the new alliance, USA Pickleball Approved Coaches will be stationed at select Sandals and Beaches resorts. These certified instructors will lead private lessons, group clinics and “Introduction to Pickleball” classes that are included in the resorts’ all-inclusive rates. Guests can also join “Solo Pickleballer Partner Matchups” to meet fellow players, or step up to competitive tournaments and Golden Ticket events that form part of USA Pickleball’s national championship circuit.

“We’re proud to partner with Sandals and Beaches Resorts to elevate the Caribbean pickleball experience, where play meets paradise,” said Jose Moreno, chief marketing officer of USA Pickleball. “From court enhancements to inclusive community programming, this designation brings the sport to new heights in the region.”

Under the “Pick Up and Play” program, guests enjoy unlimited, no-surcharge access to lighted courts day and night, with all equipment provided free of charge. Beginner sessions and junior clinics for kids and teens ensure families can share the court, while more advanced players can book specialized training or challenge themselves in round-robin matches. Select resorts offer group packages for parties reserving ten or more rooms, complete with reserved court times, exclusive receptions and tailored tournament play.

Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines features four courts set against lush mountain backdrops, while Sandals Royal Curaçao offers eight courts bathed in tropical sunshine. Jamaica’s Sandals South Coast leads the charge with twelve courts sprawling across a fifty-acre beachfront estate. Beaches Turks and Caicos supports multi-generational competition on eight courts, with amenities designed to keep both young paddlers and seasoned pros engaged.

Beyond daily play, Sandals and Beaches Resorts will host co-branded pickleball vacation packages that include room upgrades, private receptions with professional players, on-site merchandise and custom swag. These immersive experiences allow guests to learn from top instructors, watch exhibition matches and participate in charity-driven tournaments that give back to local communities.

By aligning with USA Pickleball, Sandals and Beaches Resorts are capitalizing on pickleball’s meteoric rise while reinforcing their commitment to world-class all-inclusive hospitality. The partnership promises to attract enthusiasts seeking high-quality courts, expert coaching and the effortless luxury for which these resorts are known. As the Caribbean’s ultimate pickleball playground, they invite guests to experience the perfect fusion of sport, sun and sand.
