SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The pop of a ball against a paddle has become
a familiar sound in parks and resorts across Asia, drifting out from beachfront 
courts at sunrise and hotel lawns at dusk. Easy to learn and highly social, pickleball
is ideal for groups of friends and families, and travelers now plan whole trips 
around it. Digital travel platform Agoda is highlighting six destinations where 
players can book courts easily, enjoy good weather and still have plenty to explore
once the last rally ends.

**Higashi-Izu, Japan**

Few places combine a serious pickleball facility with a hot-spring town quite like
Inatori, on the Izu coast. Izu Resort Villa’s recently opened complex, described
as Japan’s largest, gives players room to settle in for a long morning of doubles.
In early spring, the town is hung with traditional silk hina-doll decorations, and
early cherry blossoms open along the nearby Kawazu River. After a morning on court
and an afternoon among the blossoms, the day ends the right way: soaking in an onsen.

**George Town, Penang, Malaysia**

At Pickle By The Sea on Gurney Drive, the courts sit right on the waterfront, so
a match comes with sea air and a view. The venue is also a stop on the professional
circuit, having staged the APP Asia Penang Open. Come around Lunar New Year, when
George Town’s heritage streets fill with lanterns, and a day of pickleball can end
with a walk through some of the most photogenic streets in Malaysia.

**Da Nang, Vietnam**

Da Nang pairs a long stretch of coastline with a growing pickleball scene. Courts
near My Khe Beach have helped make the city one of Vietnam’s pickleball hubs, and
the Pickleball World Cup has since put it on the international map. The smart move
is to play early, before the heat sets in, then spend the rest of the day on the
sand. As evening falls, head to nearby Hoi An, where the old town glows beneath 
its lanterns.

**Davao, Philippines**

Davao has a dedicated pickleball venue of its own, Pickletown, where youth and adult
players gathered for the Kosmas Pickle Fest as the Philippine game grows quickly.
The sport is still finding its feet here, and visitors can feel that energy on court.
Once the games are done, cool off in the highland air of Mount Apo’s foothills.

**Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia**

For travelers who want to be close to the action as pickleball grows in Selangor,
Shah Alam is a calm, green base. Tourism Selangor is backing pickleball tournaments
as a way to broaden the state’s visitor appeal, giving visiting players more reason
to come. During Ramadan, enthusiasts can play before sunset, then join the evening
bazaars, where stalls fill with grilled satay and kuih.

**Singapore**

Singapore has been carving out space for pickleball in the heart of the city. Dual-
use courts at The Kallang are open to the public, making a casual game easy to slot
in between city sights. The sport has also reached the professional stage, with 
PPA Tour Asia bringing its Singapore Open to Singapore Expo. A morning of doubles
pairs well with a relaxed meal at a hawker center after.

**Jun Dong, Vice President, Supply at Agoda**, shared: "Pickleball is inherently
social, and travelers are planning around friends and family, wanting a court in
the morning, something to explore in the afternoon, and a comfortable place to stay.
At Agoda, we’re making it easier to find stays near great courts, including in destinations
travelers may not have considered yet, so the trip is as rewarding as the game."

Travelers can search for a range of flights, accommodations and activities around
pickleball venues across Asia on Agoda.com or the Agoda app.
