Itinerary
Day 1

Enjoy our signature arrival Dinks and Drinks session at Rocha Brava Racquet Club. You’ll fly into Faro Airport, transfer across to Rocha Brava Village Resort and meet the rest of the escape guests for a chilled out social play session. This is where you will get to know the coach and be able to discuss what you might like to get out of the escape, and where the coach will get to see you play… no pressure!

Day 2

Enjoy your breakfast at the O’Farol Restaurant (you’ll find it here every morning) and a relaxed start to the day. We then hit the ground running with a full morning and afternoon of coaching, with some breaks included of course!

Day 3

In the afternoon, there will be a coaching session and additional match play opportunity, where you will mix around and have the opportunity to play with or against your pro coach.

Day 4

This is the tournament day! It will be DUPR rated, across 12 courts, different age categories and skill levels 3.0-4.0+.

Day 5

We finish with a fun Hot Shots match play session from 9-11am to enjoy a last pickle session together; with some local players joining us!

This then brings us to the end of the escape and where we will have to say our goodbyes – see you next time!

From the court to you
"Just recently back from my first pickleball break and as a novice player and I was really thrilled at how inclusive the coaching was. My confidence has improved massively and I have met such a wonderful group of people on this trip. Everything was first class from the coaching, the resort, the food and the beautiful weather. Would have no hesitation to recommend Pickleball Escapes to anyone who is considering a pickleball break in the future."

"The setup is hard to beat. Courts were 30 seconds from my apartment door, resort was class, and loads to do nearby if you wanted a break from the courts. Everything ran smooth from start to finish. Fair play to Bex for keeping it all ticking - huge undertaking with front of house, comms, being flexible and adding that personal touch. Will 100% be back for another one."
Peter
"I had the most wonderful time at my Pickleball Escape holiday last weekend in the New Forest. It sure didn't disappoint if not exceed my expectations. I finished the weekend feeling absolutely buzzing and excited to put everything we learned into practise in my next session."
