Warm ocean breezes, sun-kissed beaches, and an abundance of exciting court sports - welcome to Los Cabos, the ultimate destination for active travelers seeking an unforgettable getaway. While the region may be best-known for its world-class golf courses and sports fishing prowess, visitors looking to fill their vacation itinerary with health-focused experiences are discovering a new favorite pastime: pickleball.
This quirky paddle sport that blends elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong has been sweeping the globe, and Los Cabos resorts have enthusiastically embraced the pickleball craze. The surging popularity of pickleball in Mexico was underscored earlier this month, as the Pickleball Federation of the Americas held the Americas Championship at the Cabo Sports Complex in Los Cabos. This multi day event featured pickleball competitions, clinics, parties, and fundraising activities to benefit Save the Children and the Los Cabos Children's Foundation. Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, which has pickleball courts, served as a partner hotel for the championship.
At the Hilton Los Cabos, guests can reserve complimentary court time and take advantage of on-site equipment, or work with elite instructors to elevate their game through private and group lessons. Whether travelers are looking to pick up a paddle for the first time or organize a pickleball tournament, the Hilton has the facilities and expertise to ensure an engaging, high-energy experience.
For those seeking a more immersive pickleball experience, Esperanza, an Auberge Resort, boasts three dedicated clay courts, with clinics, private classes, and high spirited tournaments on their activity calendar. In between matches, guests can cool off with icy courtside beverages and healthy snacks that naturally replenish their energy.
Acre Resort offers an even more immersive court sports experience, with two pickleball courts as well as yard games like bocce and ping pong. This adult-only "grounded luxury" retreat nestled in the San José del Cabo Estuary allows visitors to reconnect with nature while enjoying exciting daytime activities and lively evening entertainment.
Traditionalists who prefer the green felt of a tennis court can hit the courts at resorts like Diamante Cabo San Lucas that have meticulously maintained their tennis facilities, encouraging guests to join a friendly match or hone their skills with private coaching. The resort also features pickleball courts and basketball hoops for those seeking to mix up their routines.
Whether travelers are seasoned players or eager to try their hand at a new sport, Los Cabos' court sports scene offers endless opportunities for fun, fitness, and friendly competition. Discover the Los Cabos resorts serving up unparalleled pickleball and more.
