Easy to learn, hard to put down

The fastest-growing racket sport in the world has its own regulation court at the village, floodlit and ready for singles or doubles.

The Court

A regulation court built for maximum fun

Our court is regulation size, the same footprint as a badminton court, with floodlights for evening games and outdoor showers a few steps away. Paddles and balls are available to rent, and you book exactly as you would a padel slot: on the Playtomic app or at reception.

When the match is over, the pool bar and BBQ restaurant wait a few meters away, always open for a cold drink or a poolside dinner.

How it plays

Tennis rules on a badminton court

Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis, and plays much like tennis: singles or pairs, serve, rally, point. The differences are what make it addictive. The court is compact, the paddles are solid plastic or wood, and the perforated plastic ball allows strong strokes and maximum manoeuvrability without the wind ever deciding a point.

The result is a game you can pick up in one afternoon and still be improving at on the last day of the holiday.
