4 days of professional pickleball coaching, boutique villa living, and integrated wellness — one block from the Pacific.
Reserve Your Spot →Sayulita sits 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta International (PVR) on the Pacific coast of Nayarit — a Pueblo Mágico of cobblestone streets, painted buildings, and a town center that runs from the surf break at one end to a working fishing cooperative at the other.
The surf is the reason most people first come here. A year-round mix of beginner-friendly whitewater and reliable point breaks made Sayulita a surf town first and a destination later. The food scene punches well above the town's size — chefs running tiny rooftop kitchens, beachfront palapas, taquerías open until 2am. It's the kind of place visitors plan their next return on the flight home.
Structured daily coaching with two tour pros. No rotating instructors, no franchise format.
Dedicated court time at Nawalli Pickleball Club — two tournament-ready outdoor surfaces, one block from the beach. We group by ability so you play your level, not someone else's.
The morning clinic teaches the mechanics. The afternoon round robins and match play give you the reps to keep them.
A boutique villa with an ocean-facing rooftop pool. Comfort without corporate sterility, walk-everywhere location.
Contrast therapy and breathwork built into the schedule, not bolted on. Recovery is treated like training, not a spa upsell.
An intimate group, four days, one town. The people you meet here become the next trip you plan.

“I moved to Sayulita for the ocean. I stayed for the pickleball. Now I run the club the town plays at — and I built these retreats for the players I wished were joining me at 6 AM.”
Twenty-five years building businesses. Fifteen years coaching sport. Playing pickleball at 4.0+ five mornings a week on the courts you’ll train on. Each retreat is led on-court by a Sayulita-based pro — Jorge Minikata and Alejo Desiderio. That’s not marketing — that’s the whole product.
A boutique villa built around an ocean-facing rooftop pool. Comfort without corporate sterility.
The Nawalli courts are one block away and the main plaza is two minutes on foot — close enough that the morning clinic, lunch in town, and an afternoon swim all fit into the same walk.
Not included: Flights, airport transfers, and meals beyond those listed.

What players are saying.
I’ve done golf trips, ski weeks, fishing charters. This was different. Four days at Nawalli with Jorge coaching, evenings in Sayulita, contrast therapy at Alchemize — by day three my game was sharper and I wasn’t ready to leave. Already looking at November.
Came solo, didn’t know a single person. Left with a group chat that’s still going two weeks later. The courts are legit, the place is beautiful, and Sayulita itself does something to you. This is the trip I’ll be recommending for the next ten years.
