A combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis, pickleball claims the title of the fastest growing sport in North America. Recognizing the sport’s popularity, Sundial completed construction of their Plexicushion facility in spring 2017, adding twelve courts to its lineup of resort amenities and public offerings. The stadium provides state-of-the-art facilities in a beautiful waterfront setting and offers memberships, instruction and court time. Sundial was voted the “Best Pickleball” in Southwest Florida and boasts one of the largest facilities of its kind in the state of Florida. The resort courts were chosen by Pickleball Magazine to play host to its Level-Up camp earlier this year.
Located on one mile of shell sprinkled world-renowned beachfront, Sundial Beach Resort & Spa is offering a tournament rate of $159 for fully equipped Studio and Island Suite accommodations which includes breakfast for two and waived resort fee. Room reservations may be made at sundialresort.com. Perfect for the active traveler, the resort features complimentary paddleboards, kayaks, bicycles and beach volleyball.
