When you think about the ultimate vacation, what comes to mind? Is it the luxury of a private villa, the thrill of competitive sports, or the serene beauty of tropical Costa Rica? At Pura Vida House, you don’t have to choose. This all-inclusive vacation rental nestled within the prestigious Hacienda Pinilla resort community near Tamarindo Beach offers the best of all worlds – a relaxing retreat and an active sports getaway.
Why Pura Vida House?
Pura Vida House has earned its reputation as one of the top destinations for tennis and pickleball enthusiasts in Costa Rica. Whether you’re looking to up your game or simply enjoy the sport in a picturesque setting, our villa provides everything you need to make it a memorable experience. With private tennis and pickleball courts, luxurious amenities, and professional coaching, you’ll not only enhance your athletic skills but also experience the best of Costa Rica’s vibrant culture.
Pickleball vs Tennis Court: The Differences
At Pura Vida House, players have access to both tennis and pickleball courts, but it’s important to know the distinct differences between the two sports. A tennis court is significantly larger than a pickleball court, measuring 78 feet by 27 feet for singles matches and 78 feet by 36 feet for doubles. A pickleball court, on the other hand, is just 44 feet long and 20 feet wide. This makes pickleball a quicker, less physically demanding game, perfect for players looking for an energetic yet accessible sport.
Pickleball Net Height vs Tennis
One of the most notable differences between the two sports is the height of the net. A pickleball net stands at 34 inches in the center, slightly lower than a tennis net, which is 36 inches high in the middle and 42 inches at the posts. These differences in net height and court size influence the pace of each game. Pickleball tends to favor quick, reactive movements and shorter rallies, while tennis offers a more drawn-out, strategic style of play. Whether you’re a fan of tennis or new to pickleball, exploring these differences at Pura Vida House can help elevate your experience.
