Pickleball at the Resort
Dedicated courts are planned at the hotel, making it easy to enjoy approximately 9–10 hours of organised social play without building the holiday around daily transfers.
Premier Getaway Club Pickleball Escape
Pickleball · Beach · Resort · Crete
Seven nights in Crete combining a planned five-star resort, dedicated on-site pickleball courts, warm Mediterranean days, an included day on the water and plenty of freedom to enjoy the island your own way.
The Experience
This is not an intensive training camp. It is a proper Greek island holiday with enjoyable social pickleball built naturally into the week.
Dedicated courts are planned at the hotel, making it easy to enjoy approximately 9–10 hours of organised social play without building the holiday around daily transfers.
Seven nights at a carefully selected Crete resort on a planned half-board basis, with most of the week left open for pool, beach and island time.
Swap the court for the water and experience Crete from the sea. The final route, operating details and exact boat-day inclusions will be confirmed before booking.
Pickleball Without the Pressure
The advantage of a resort-based escape is simple: play socially with the group, rotate partners and enjoy friendly competition, then put the paddle down and make the rest of the day entirely your own.
Your Week in Crete
Open each day for a preview. The confirmed resort, playing schedule, boat itinerary and transfer arrangements will be shared before bookings open.
Arrive in Crete and travel to the resort using the transfer arrangements confirmed for the group. Check in, unpack and take the rest of the day at your own pace—explore the resort, head towards the beach, find the pool and meet your fellow travellers.
Enjoy breakfast and head to the resort courts for the first planned organised pickleball session. Rotate partners, meet other players and settle into the relaxed rhythm of the week. Once the paddles are down, the rest of the day is yours—pool, beach, lunch or local exploring.
Today is deliberately flexible. Stay at the resort, relax on the beach, explore independently or choose from the optional experiences available during the week. There is no compulsory sightseeing and no pressure to fill every hour.
Return to the courts for another planned organised social pickleball session—different partners, friendly competition and plenty of laughs. Afterwards, relax at the resort, enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine or head out to discover another corner of Crete.
Swap the pickleball court for the water and join the group for the included boat experience. Spend the day cruising along the Cretan coastline, surrounded by clear Mediterranean water and island scenery. The final route, timings, embarkation point and inclusions will be confirmed before booking. Operation remains subject to weather, sea, safety and local operating conditions.
After breakfast, enjoy another planned opportunity to get on court with the group. Once play finishes, Crete is yours again—spend the afternoon by the pool, head for the beach or choose an optional experience.
Your final full day is intentionally relaxed. Depending on the confirmed playing schedule, round off the pickleball programme and leave plenty of time for another swim, a favourite pool spot, independent exploring or simply having nowhere you need to be.
Enjoy your final breakfast before checking out. Depending on the confirmed departure arrangements, there may be time for one last coffee or a final moment in the Cretan sunshine before beginning your journey home.
Where You Will Stay
The planned package is based on seven nights at a carefully selected five-star resort in Crete, with dedicated pickleball courts at the hotel and a half-board meal plan. The confirmed property and room options will be shared before booking.
The Details
The final accommodation, transfer arrangements, pickleball programme, boat itinerary and complete package inclusions will be confirmed before bookings open.

Good to Know
No. The emphasis is on social, enjoyable pickleball rather than intensive coaching or competition. The planned programme includes approximately 9–10 hours of organised play spread across the week.
The trip is designed for a mixed group including social and recreational players, intermediate players, club members and newer players where the final playing programme permits. Any level requirements will be confirmed before booking.
Absolutely. Solo travellers are welcome. The group playing sessions and included boat day make it easy to meet people while still leaving you plenty of independent time.
Yes. Non-playing partners are welcome. While you are on court they can enjoy the resort, beach, pool or explore Crete, and you can enjoy the rest of the holiday together.
Dedicated pickleball courts are planned at the resort itself, so the group will not need to transfer to an external venue for the organised sessions. The resort and court arrangements will be confirmed before booking.
One Cretan boat day is planned as an inclusion. The final route, timings, embarkation point and exact inclusions will be confirmed before booking. Operation is subject to weather, sea, safety and local operating conditions; an appropriate alternative may be arranged if it cannot operate.
The planned package is half board, including daily breakfast and the daily evening meal provided within the confirmed half-board arrangement. Other meals and drinks are not included unless stated in the final booking documents.
No. This is planned as a ground-arrangements-only package. Flights to and from Crete are not included, giving you flexibility to choose the departure airport, airline and flight arrangements that work best for you.
Scheduled ground transfers will be included as confirmed for the group. The arrival airport, transfer arrangements and applicable transfer windows will be confirmed before booking. Additional transfers outside those arrangements are not included.
