Pickleball vacations are becoming one of the fastest-growing trends in luxury travel — and more travelers are specifically looking for resorts where they can combine relaxation with active travel.

Fortunately, several Sandals Resorts International properties are investing heavily in pickleball facilities and programming.

If pickleball is high on your vacation priority list, these are the Sandals resorts I recommend most often.

Sandals Royal Curaçao

This resort has quickly become one of the top Sandals properties for active travelers.

The pickleball facilities are excellent, and the overall resort atmosphere attracts a very social, upscale crowd. It’s easy to meet other couples interested in sports and activities while still enjoying a luxury Caribbean experience.

What makes Curaçao especially appealing is the combination of:

• pickleball
• scuba diving
• golf nearby
• gorgeous beach areas
• modern resort design

It’s ideal for couples who like to stay active while traveling.

Sandals South Coast

South Coast offers one of the most relaxing settings in the Sandals portfolio, making it a fantastic option for travelers who want a balance between activity and downtime.

The resort’s expansive layout gives it a calmer feel, and the sports facilities integrate naturally into the experience rather than feeling crowded or chaotic.

This is an especially great option for:

• couples trips
• hosted groups
• active adults looking for quieter luxury

Sandals Regency La Toc

Saint Lucia has become increasingly popular with pickleball-loving travelers, and La Toc offers one of the most dynamic overall vacation experiences.

What makes La Toc stand out is the variety:

• pickleball
• golf
• gorgeous ocean views
• lively entertainment
• access to the other Saint Lucia Sandals properties

The hillside setting gives the resort dramatic scenery, while the sports and activity offerings create a more energetic atmosphere than nearby Halcyon.

For couples who want both activity and nightlife, La Toc is often the strongest fit.
