February 2026 Week-Long Costa Rica Pickleball Retreat for Beginner-to-Intermediate Players

Tired of the cold? Join us for the Pickleball Getaway you’ll never forget!" reads the promotion for a week-long retreat that opened Feb. 5-12, 2026 in Ojochal, Costa Rica. The Pickleball Getaways program pairs daily coached pickleball sessions with local excursions and group meals at Topanga Villa, and it brings a mix of on-court instruction and off-court pura vida that matters for players looking to improve their game while escaping winter.

The Ojochal listing, shown as Pickleball Getaways Costa Rica at Plaza Tangara, Av Principal de Ojochal, Provincia de Puntarenas, Osa 60504, advertises pickleball training, matches and Ojochal Racquet Club merch discounts. Excursions include a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park, a catamaran adventure in Quepos, a Costa Rican wildlife tour and a hike to Eco Chontales Waterfall. Breakfast is provided each morning at Topanga Villa and three dinners are included; other food and drinks are at guests’ expense. Shuttle service to and from San José is provided and a SOLO GETAWAY option covers the cost for one individual staying in a private room.

Organizers and operators are running multiple, distinct week-long offerings in February, so dates, locations, skill targets and inclusions vary. Pickleballcostarica lists a Stay & Play Camp for Feb. 8-15 with a seven night stay, 16 hours of instruction, three meals daily except arrival and departure days, three excursions and lead pro Steve Kennedy. The Steve Kennedy block advertises him as "THE ONE AND ONLY STEVE KENNEDY! STEVE KENNEDY - Lead Pro Former #1 Senior Pro Player in the World One of Pickleball’s most elite instructors. USA Pickleball Pro National Championship. TOC Pro Championship US Open Pro Championshipn IFPA Certified Pro Intructor 38+ Yrs Coaching Experience." That camp lists skill level 3.0-4.0 and includes a JOOLA gift, exclusive paddle discount and a swag bag with Costa Rican coffee.

Another operator, Picklevacationscostarica, promotes a Move, Play, Restore Retreat in Uvita for Feb. 16-23, and notes "This retreat will be beginner to intermediate pickleball level." Coaches include Jason, who leads daily pickleball sessions, technique workshops and matches, and Lesley, who runs low-impact movement classes and recovery sessions with optional acupuncture for muscle recovery, sleep and stress. Picklevacationscostarica says breakfast and lunch are included every day at the property, four dinners are included, and two excursions are planned: a Nauyaca waterfall tour and a visit to Marino Ballena National Park.

Other packages round out the market. Pickleballtravelersclub offers a sample daily schedule with 7-8am chef prepared breakfasts, 8-11am instruction, afternoon free time and evening open play, and lists 15+ hours of instruction with one instructor per eight students, lighted courts and optional private round trip transfers from Liberia International Airport. Empowher markets private retreats with "over 12 hours of instruction" and an 8:1 player-to-coach ratio and promises social events and in-house massages.

Dates, meal counts, instruction hours and pricing differ by provider. Kasandramariepickleball lists private April retreats at Hacienda Pinilla with a $3,300 per person price and a $400 deposit schedule. For February bookings, contact points in the listings include Linda Cintron at 210-460-9066 or Linda@platinumpickleballtravel.com and info@empowherpickleball.com for Empowher/Kasandra inquiries.
