Excitement is building for the return of Pickleball in Paradise, taking place April 26-May 3. Now in its third year, this signature annual clinic and tournament brings together friendly competition and expert instruction in our stunning Caribbean setting. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to refine your technique or a guest who wants to learn, this event is designed for everyone to enjoy.
A Week of Clinics, Matches, and Tournament Play
Hosted by pickleball professional Eddie Aziz, the week features a full schedule of instructional clinics, casual matches and tournament play for all skill levels. Beginners can learn the fundamentals and experienced players can sharpen their game. Beyond bragging rights, winners receive prizes and every participant takes home a commemorative event T-shirt.
Why Pickleball Is a Favorite at Coconut Bay
Pickleball has quickly become one of the most popular ways to stay active at Coconut Bay. With five freshly resurfaced courts set within our lush, 85 oceanfront acres, it’s the perfect spot to combine a little recreation with your Saint Lucian getaway. Our newly resurfaced courts are in top shape and ready for you to jump into a game anytime. They are lit for evening play so the fun can continue after sunset, and we have all the equipment you need ready and waiting.
For anyone new to the sport, pickleball is often described as a mix of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It’s easy to learn and accessible to players of all ages, which is exactly why so many guests try it here for the first time.
More to Enjoy Beyond the Court
The Pickleball in Paradise event is a major highlight, but the resort is designed for all-day activity and relaxation. When you aren’t on the court, you can experience the rest of our amenities. Cool off in five pools (two are adults-only), or head to the beach for kayaking and paddleboarding. To balance competition with wellness the Sanctuary Spa is a peaceful setting for restorative treatments in our oceanfront spa cabanas. Kids can enjoy their own adventures at the CocoLand Kidz Klub and waterpark featuring a Lazy River. You’ll also have your choice of nine restaurants serving everything from casual to elegant oceanfront meals with locally sourced ingredients and seven bars serving top shelf liquors and refreshing spirit-free drinks.
Bring Your Group Together for a Pickleball Getaway
Pickleball brings people together, making it a great reason for groups of friends or your local league to play together in a warm-weather destination. Coconut Bay’s exceptional Premium All-Inclusive amenities and dedicated group planning support make it easy to organize tournaments. If your group stays five nights or more, we’ve added perks to make your stay even better. Beyond savings on rates, you’ll enjoy private check-in, reserved seating at our themed dinners, access to private event venues and more.
For guests who enjoy staying active, Pickleball in Paradise is the perfect blend of sports, sunshine and fun in our beautiful setting.
