The Client

A world-class golf resort in the Caribbean

Royal Westmoreland is a gated golf and beach resort in St. James, on the west coast of Barbados. Its 18-hole championship course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., has views of the Caribbean Sea from every hole and hosted the 2006 World Golf Championships World Cup. Residents and guests also have access to tennis, pickleball, gyms, a spa and a private beach club.

The Challenge

Premium padel in a tropical climate

Royal Westmoreland wanted to add padel to its racquet sports and give residents and guests a new way to play. The priorities:

  • Two courts that match the resort’s premium standard.
  • Durable materials for year-round sun, humidity and salt air.
  • Floodlights for play in the cooler evening hours.
  • Delivery and installation on a Caribbean island.
  • A smooth fit with the existing tennis and pickleball facilities.

Members and guests book courts through the golf pro shop, and equipment is available for hire. That makes padel an easy addition to a day on the course or at the beach.

The Solution

Two courts, built for the Caribbean

PadelCreations supplied Mod. PREMIUM SEP-C courts, designed for the tropical climate with high windload and installed alongside the resort’s racquet sports facilities. With floodlights, the courts are open every day from 7 am to 9 pm.

Expanding to four courts

Demand quickly showed that two courts weren’t enough. Two more PadelCreations courts are now on their way to Barbados and will be installed in the coming weeks, doubling the resort’s padel capacity.

The Result

Padel in paradise, and growing

Padel quickly became a firm part of life at Royal Westmoreland, and the expansion to four courts shows how popular it is with residents, members and guests. The project also shows that PadelCreations courts perform well far beyond Europe, in one of the world’s most demanding climates.

Two courts today. Four by early 2027. Padel on the Platinum Coast.
