The Breakers Elevates Recreational Luxury with World-class Tennis & Racquet Facilities

PALM BEACH, FL - A reimagined destination for tennis, pickleball, and padel, the impressive racquet facilities at The Breakers Palm Beach are set within the resort’s expansive 140‑acre oceanfront estate. Completed in December 2024, the $12 million renovation transformed the 104,000‑square‑foot complex into a state‑of‑the‑art venue featuring 16 open‑air courts, each enhanced with its own comfort and refreshment pergola. This significant investment reflects The Breakers’ continued commitment to thoughtfully evolving its unparalleled portfolio of amenities for hotel guests and club members.

With reverence for classic tennis culture and the active leisure lifestyle, the completely remodeled sports center features a sophisticated ambiance reminiscent of a grand estate. The Breakers enlisted long-standing partner, Tihany Design (opens in new window), to enrich the casually-chic aesthetic with stylish furnishings that are inviting, purposeful and uniquely Palm Beach. In addition, elegant white fencing encircles the grounds and courts, defining each space, while seamlessly blending with the hotel’s timeless charm.
