We all travel and vacation. Do we want to travel to a destination and not play pickleball? I sure do not. My regular twice or three times per week pickleball regimen does not want to take a week or two break from pickleball. Fortunately, there are options to play pickleball in amazing destinations. We have scoured much of the world for pickleball places, and the following is a detailed list of some of the best places to enjoy an amazing destination and also play some great pickleball too.
Best Pickleball Vacation Destinations
For those passionate about pickleball seeking a blend of sport and relaxation there are destinations that offer a balance of competition and leisure. Whether you're a player or a novice looking to enhance your skills, Pickleball Travel provides opportunities for individuals at every skill level.
There are many great destinations for pickleball vacations. More and more cruises are opting to put pickleball courts on their ships including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, Regent Seven Seas, Princess and others. Cruising and having a pickleball court or courts on-board can be so nice, as it can be a "spur-of-the-moment" idea, or in most cases, a planned time of day that pickleball is offered.
Pickleball in Mexico
For a more intense pickleball experience than cruising, player/travelers are opting for resorts with pickleball, since there are generally more courts, allowing more flexible times to play. Pickleball enthusiasts are flocking to Mexico for its culture, varied landscapes and warm welcome. Playa Del Carmen area, Cancun area, and the Cabo San Lucas areas are boasting some premier courts and vistas.
Iberostar, Club Med, and others have taken the lead. These all-inclusive resorts provide amenities, fine dining options and pristine beaches creating an amazing backdrop for a pickleball retreat. With courts that offer views of the Caribbean Sea or Pacific Ocean, and expert instructors available for guidance, players can enhance their skills while indulging in an escape.
Pickleball in Europe
Pickleball enthusiasts can also explore Europe's offerings blending their passion for the sport with discovery. In Spain, the Barcelona region has become a spot for pickleball lovers due to its climate, gorgeous beaches and top tier resorts. Don't forget that pickleball is growing in Italy. Rome Pickleball Trips can be a highlight of your year, experiencing the amazing adventures of Italy and Pickleball. I have been fortunate to have developed great pickleball friends in Italy such as in Venice area, Rome, Padua, Bergamo, Bologna, Brescia, and other regions of Italy. My mom and I also explored Ireland and met such great groups there, in both Dublin and Galway. And capped the trip off with an unbelievable adventure in Iceland, which I will describe in more detail.
Using A Booking Agency To Plan A Pickleball Getaway
Using a booking agency to plan a pickleball getaway offers a host of benefits that elevate the overall travel experience. These agencies provide expert guidance and insider knowledge, ensuring that players choose the perfect destination, resort, and tournament to suit their preferences and skill levels. By handling all aspects of the trip, from accommodation, to pickleball courts, to activity planning and logistics, booking agencies alleviate the stress and hassle of travel planning, allowing players to focus solely on enjoying their time on the courts and exploring new surroundings. Additionally, booking agencies often have access to exclusive deals and discounts, helping players save money while still enjoying top-notch amenities and experiences. With the peace of mind that comes from 24/7 support and assistance, players can embark on their pickleball getaway with confidence, knowing that every detail has been meticulously arranged for a seamless and unforgettable adventure.
