New Pickleball Courts Ready for Play at Four Seasons Resort Orlando

The fastest growing sport in America has made its way to Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, with the introduction of four new pickleball courts. The pickleball courts are adjacent to the Resort’s two Har-Tru tennis courts, and are available for play by resort guests, Four Seasons private residents, and members of Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando.

“I’m thrilled to be able to expand our racquet sports offerings with pickleball, as there has been strong demand,” says Sarah Peltier, Director of Recreation at Four Seasons Resort Orlando. “With this addition, plus our offerings of tennis, a championship golf course, fitness instruction and daily classes, and even lap lane swimming, the Resort offers something for everyone who is seeking to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.”

Derek Hofmann, Senior Director of Spa, adds, “Treatments at The Spa provide the perfect accompaniment to one’s wellness routine,” noting The Spa has a variety of treatments that can be beneficial for sports recovery, including deep tissue massage, a new Aescape robotic massage, cupping, IV hydration and intramuscular injections.

Pickleball, a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, table tennis and badminton with paddles made of wood or composite materials and plastic balls that resemble a whiffle ball, is less demanding than tennis because of the smaller court size and lighter equipment. Four Seasons Resort Orlando guests can play with customized pickleball paddles by Holbrook, or with their own pickleball paddle of choice. It’s easy to learn, and while the sport can be played with two or four players, doubles is far more common, which means Four Seasons Resort Orlando can accommodate up to 16 players at once. Led by the Resort’s Director of Raquet Sports, Alain Labrecque, pickleballers of all ages and skill levels can enjoy clinics, private lessons or court rental.

The Spa at Four Seasons

The Spa at Four Seasons is the ultimate sanctuary for pre-or post-sport relaxation and rejuvenation. Offering a comprehensive collection of body and facial treatments such as the Collagen Contour Facial, Ayurvedic healing therapies, a signature Healing Honey Massage, CBD enhancements and much more.

Spa patrons can unwind in expansive relaxation lounges, including a Solarium with zero-gravity loungers, al fresco whirlpools, and spacious men’s and women’s locker rooms with Experience Showers and steam rooms. Plus, spa patrons who reserve a 50-minute treatment or greater have day access (for the spa patron only) to enjoy the Resort’s nearby adult-only Oasis Pool, a wonderful way to spend the day.
