“Serving up paradise”: Club Med partners with Pickleball Canada

Pickleball Canada has named Club Med its official all-inclusive resorts partner.

“Pickleball Canada brings credibility, structure, and a fast-growing community” to Club Med’s pickleball offering in North America, reads a press release.

Across five resorts, Club Med offers a pickleball footprint with 34 courts, supported by highly-trained Great Organizers (GOs).

The program, under the tagline “Serving Up Paradise,” delivers structured training, multiple hours of instruction each week, daily social play, and tournaments, making pickleball a central part of the guest experience.

Throughout the year, Club Med and Pickleball Canada will roll out a series of activations as part of this new partnership.

Club Med, for example, will host a pickleball-themed press trip in Michès Playa Esmeralda, Dominican Republic.

The partnership will also feature a Club Med vacation giveaway, exclusively for Pickleball Canada members, offering one winner the opportunity to experience the brand’s all-inclusive resort lifestyle firsthand.

This announcement follows the brand’s continuous investment in pickleball facilities.

Club Med introduced its first pickleball courts in 2017 and has continued to expand the offering ever since.

The company is also actively expanding its pickleball footprint in Ontario through its collaboration with Fairgrounds Pickleball Courts and other main players in the pickleball scene in Canada.

"We are thrilled to partner with Pickleball Canada as part of our ongoing commitment to sports, active living, and community-driven experiences,” stated Club Med Canada’s Vice President, Vincent Giraud. “This collaboration is a natural fit for both our brands, grounded in shared values and a highly engaged community. It also represents an important step in expanding pickleball across our North American resorts, while supporting our long-term vision to grow Club Med’s awareness in Canada and continue to pioneer premium, active vacation experiences.”
