A thriving racquet sports scene in the Cayman Islands

Playing tennis in the Cayman IslandsThe Cayman Islands is more than sandy beaches and golden sunsets. Beyond the palm-fringed coastline, a thriving racquet sports community is taking shape—one that’s bringing visitors and residents together both on and off the court.

From early-morning pickleball matches to sunset tennis sessions, the islands’ courts have become social hubs where competition meets camaraderie, and active living is part of everyday island life.

Commonly referred to as the fastest growing sport, pickleball has taken its place as one of the most popular sports played across the U.S. and beyond.

Pickleball Cayman, the world’s largest pickleball club, resides right here in Grand Cayman. Offering twelve shaded courts and a total of twenty-four floodlit courts, play continues late into the night. The club also offers coaching, tournaments, and a welcoming social scene.

With an onsite bar and restaurants designed with an open-air sports pub feel, visitors can enjoy F1, rugby, cricket, or football on big screens. An exceptional playground sits just next door, making it a family-friendly hub where kids can play while parents enjoy a game or a drink.
