Beaches is located on the island of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos and is the only resort on the island that offers pickleball as an amenity, and plans are underway to expand its pickleball footprint soon. For pickleball groups, Beaches offers incentives and amenities for 10 or more rooms that can be customized to your needs.
“We have seen a significant increase in the interest of our guests who love to play pickleball. Not only are we seeing the recreational players but groups who play competitively have stayed at the resort and enjoy having the facilities to play the game. We have eight permanent courts at the resort with the ability to accommodate larger groups. We also have balls and paddles available for our guests so they don’t have to travel with their own equipment.”
- Beaches General Manager Jamie McNally.
After you play pickleball, you can enjoy delicious dining at 21 distinct 5-start Global Gourmet restaurants, including a grand open-air rooftop restaurant overlooking the ocean.
“Pickleball is a great way to have some competitive fun as a group and get some exercise in, but when you couple that with an incredible Caribbean backdrop - it’s a match made in paradise for players of the sport. As pickleball becomes more and more popular, both Sandals and Beaches resort will continue to expand their pickleball facilities so guests can take their skills all across the Caribbean.”
Feeling a little sore after a few matches? Pamper yourself with exclusive spa treatments at one of two award-winning Red Lane spas on the property.
The majestic resort is immaculately clean, everywhere from rooms to restaurants, with meticulously manicured grounds lush with flowering trees and foliage, fountains, and walking paths. “It only makes sense that the Beaches and Sands brand is leading the charge to offer pickleball to our guests, as it's the fastest-growing sport in America,” says Beaches Public Relations Manager Zhavargo Jolly. “At Beaches Turks & Caicos, more and more of our guests are using our pickleball facilities during their vacations and its a pleasure to see the delight in their faces when we are able to accommodate their requests.”
Beaches Turks & Caicos is the pinnacle of what a family resort can be, with a full array of daily activities for all age groups, including 0-24 months, 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, tweens and teens as well as young people and adults on the spectrum. Beaches is the first resort company in the world to complete the rigorous International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) training and Autism Certification. “We are proud to offer specialized services to families with children with autism and other special needs, including engaging activities and custom dining options so that all families may enjoy a fun and memorable vacation,” says Beaches Director of Sales Tanya Swann.
Beaches is home to the best water park in the Caribbean. The 45,000-square-foot park features waterslides, a swim-up soda bar, and a Lazy River. The island offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving sites in the Caribbean. Other water sports included are kayaking, waterskiing, tubing, windsurfing, paddle boarding and glass bottom boating.
