Real Talk: You, Me, Turks & Caicos… and a Paddle?
Alright, let’s set the scene: We’re gathered around a fire pit, post-game, maybe barefoot, maybe a little sun-kissed. Someone’s passing around snacks, someone else has a glass of something cold, and we’re all swapping stories.
Then someone says, “I just want a vacation where I don’t have to think. Like, sunshine, no to-do list, and obviously, pickleball.” And that’s when someone (probably me) goes, “Okay, have you heard about this Turks & Caicos trip with Neil Friedenberg?”

Because yeah, it’s real, it’s ridiculously gorgeous, and it’s going down October 19–24, 2025.
Pickleball in Paradise? Yes, Please.
This is not your average pickleball weekend. This is a legit getaway hosted by Vibe Getaways, and it’s happening at Beaches Turks & Caicos, a dreamy all-inclusive Sandals resort tucked right on Grace Bay, one of the most stunning beaches on the planet.
And to top it off? You’ll be training and hanging out with Neil Friedenberg, pro player, paddle brain, and just one of those genuinely good people you’re pumped to be around.
What’s the Vibe?
Mornings are for drills and clinics with Neil. Think strategic dinking, killer footwork, third shot drops that actually land where you want them.
Afternoons? You’ve got options: more play, lounging by the pool, maybe some paddleboarding or scuba (it’s all included).
Evenings are relaxed, open play with tips from Neil and time to connect with fellow players who get the obsession.
It's the kind of trip where your skills level up and your stress level hits zero.

And This Resort? Let’s Talk.
Beaches Turks & Caicos is basically a village-sized postcard. Actually, four villages. Each has its own theme: Caribbean, French, Italian, and Key West, and all of them are packed with top-tier amenities.
Some highlights:
21 restaurants and 15 bars (from sushi to jerk chicken to wood-fired pizza)
A 45,000-square-foot waterpark (yep, lazy river included)
Red Lane® Spa with oceanview massages and body scrubs
Unlimited diving and watersports (included in your stay!)
A Certified Autism Center with trained staff and thoughtful accommodations
Sesame Street® activities if you’re bringing the kids—or just a big fan of Cookie Monster (no judgment)
You’ll wake up to ocean breezes, play your heart out, and end the day under the stars with a cold drink and zero responsibilities. It’s that kind of vibe.
