We love pickleball because it opens the door to growth—on and off the court. At Palmera Pickleball, we pair world-class coaching with unforgettable experiences in stunning destinations, crafting every moment to elevate your game and your journey.
A new kind of pickleball company: Palmera Pickleball is not merely a brand—it is a new cultural institution at the intersection of distinguished sport, luxury lifestyle, and social purpose.
Headquartered in the Cayman Islands, Palmera is a global venture redefining the contours of modern recreation, competitive player development, and vacation experiences with investments through both physical destinations and a dynamic digital platform centered on pickleball engagement.
At Palmera, we blend the precision of quality player experience and curated hospitality with the warmth of philanthropic purpose, cultivating a lifestyle ecosystem where community, performance, and productivity are exquisitely intertwined.
Our inaugural development begins in Nicaragua, where we are constructing The Venue—a premier indoor pickleball experience—with the esteemed Johns Design & Consulting (JDC).
Situated within Rancho Santana, a 2,700-acre sanctuary of resort and residential elegance on the Emerald Coast, The Venue will be a JOOLA-partnered facility and will be the Central American hub for talent, community, and curated training and play.
This is just the beginning.
Palmera is more than just a pickleball brand—we’re a media and lifestyle company built for modern athletes, digital nomads, and active vacationers. Plus, with the upcoming launch of PalmeraSports.Life, a digital experience platform and online community, you’ll get exclusive access to world-class training content—anytime, anywhere.

Palmera is just getting started—and you’re invited to come along for the ride. The PalmeraSports.Life Digital Academy launches later this year, and The Venue opens in mid-to-late 2026. Now’s the time to subscribe for insider updates and early access to opportunities and offers.
Nestled within the luxury community of Rancho Santana, The Venue is Palmera’s flagship destination—a first-of-its-kind indoor pickleball hub designed for athletes, creators, and corporate teams alike. With Ben Johns Signature courts, a pro-grade gym, advanced recovery suites, co-working spaces, and a podcast studio, The Venue blends elite training with modern luxury and productivity. It’s more than a facility—it’s where sport, wellness, and innovation converge.
We obsess over the player experience. All Palmera indoor courts are built to the Ben Johns Signature standard—ensuring optimal spacing, surfacing, lighting, and visual clarity for high-level play. Each court features 8 feet of space on either side and 13 feet beyond each baseline, delivering the room serious athletes need to train, move, and compete at their best.
With replay video analysis, and performance metrics, players receive detailed insights to refine their strategy and improve their game.
Training at Palmera goes beyond drills and gameplay. Inside The Venue, athletes will have access to a 2,000-square-foot gym designed specifically for pickleball-focused strength and conditioning. Adjacent to the gym, our athletic recovery suites offer red-light therapy, massage, contrast therapy (hot/cold), and sensory isolation—supporting injury prevention, recovery, and peak performance.
The Venue isn't just for athletes—it's built for thinkers, creators, and teams. Our co-working spaces are ideal for corporate retreats, featuring open-concept work areas, private offices, and fully equipped conference rooms for productive strategy sessions or remote work. For content creators, a professional-grade podcast studio is available on-site—perfect for recording, interviews, and sharing your story with the world.
The Venue is built with every detail in mind—from spacious locker rooms and a stylish café to VIP lounges and stadium-style viewing areas for an elevated spectator experience. Hosting an event? Onsite catering options are available to suit any gathering. For families, a dedicated kids' play area and optional babysitting services ensure that parents can fully enjoy their time on court while little ones stay safe, active, and entertained just steps away.
