The Ocean Club expands racquet sports offerings in the Bahamas

by James Wilkinson

The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas is serving up the latest trend in racquet sports, with the arrival of two new padel courts.

The padel courts, illuminated for nighttime play, accompany three Har-Tru tennis courts, all newly resurfaced for a premium court experience.

Located steps away from the gorgeous, tiered Versailles Gardens and picturesque waterfall lagoon pool, the courts are easily walkable from the main resort guestroom wings.

In addition, alongside the padel courts, guests can enjoy a new sport court with basketball hoop, and an adjacent turf field ideal for soccer and other lawn games.

The enhancements further position The Ocean Club as a premium destination for those who prioritize integrating physical fitness into their vacation plans.

With instruction available by professional Marvin Rolle, guests who are experts in padel or newly beginning will find customized coaching available, tailored for their level of play.

Rolle is an esteemed player who has represented The Bahamas in multiple competitions. Rolle won a bronze medal in the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games. His father, Leo Rolle, was a distinguished tennis professional at The Ocean Club for over 50 years, so the love of tennis runs in the family.

“The Ocean Club offers many activities for guests looking to have fun and stay active as part of their vacation,” said The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas General Manager, John Conway.

“Padel courts are a wonderful enhancement to our beautiful tennis courts, which are surrounded by incredible palm trees for a tropical experience when on the courts. With our water sports, fitness center and outdoor jungle gym, bicycle rentals, plus access to the gorgeous Ocean Club Golf Course, there are many options for our guests to stay fit while they’re vacationing in our slice of paradise.”
