by Bruce Parkinson
Ocean El Faro Pickleball and Tennis Courts
Ocean Signature Resorts has unveiled a sports-forward entertainment lineup at its flagship Dominican Republic properties: Ocean El Faro (Uvero Alto) and Ocean Blue & Sand (Bávaro).
Catering to active, multigenerational travellers, both resorts have integrated top-tier athletic infrastructure and high-octane family fun into their beachfront offerings.

Five-Star Sophistication Meets Elite Athletics at Ocean El Faro
Located on the pristine seafront of Uvero Alto, the AAA Four Diamond Ocean El Faro blends colonial-style elegance with an extensive active tourism ecosystem. While famous for its iconic El Faro viewpoint, expansive pools, and a winding lazy river, the resort has established itself as a premium hub for sports enthusiasts.
The resort’s sports complex features:
- Vilas Tennis Academy: A training ground boasting 8 courts (6 clay and 2 concrete).
- Pickleball & Team Sports: 3 brand-new pickleball courts, a multi-purpose court, and a dedicated softball/7-a-side football field.
- High-End Entertainment: A 6-lane bowling alley, an archery area, and a beach volleyball court.
- Families can bond at the dedicated Family Lounge, the water playground, or the Jelly Club (kids club), while adults seeking a quieter pace can retreat to El Beso, the exclusive adults-only (18+) section.
Ocean Blue & Sand: Beachfront Adventure in Bávaro
Situated on the world-famous white sands of Bávaro Beach, Ocean Blue & Sand caters to adrenaline-seekers and active families alike with a diverse, modern sports infrastructure.

Key sports and entertainment highlights include:
- Action-Packed Facilities: 2 pickleball courts, a multi-purpose court, and a 6-lane bowling alley.
- Unique Attractions: An on-site batting cage, an archery area, a beach volleyball court, and a vibrant arcade zone.
- Aquatic & Wellness Hub: A fully equipped 24-hour gym, and non-motorized water activities.
- With 708 premium suites — including upgraded Privilege options and romantic honeymoon suites — the resort ensures that after a day of high-energy play, guests return to unparalleled comfort.
A Multigenerational Playground
By bridging the gap between premium relaxation and professional-grade sports facilities, Ocean Signature Resorts ensures that every generation — from toddlers at the Jelly Club to teens in the arcade and parents on the pickleball courts — finds their perfect rhythm.
“Today’s travellers want more than just a beautiful beach; they want experiences that challenge, entertain, and bring the family together,” said Virgilio Acosta, Sales Director for Ocean Signature Resorts Dominican Republic.
“With premium additions like the Vilas Tennis Academy, professional bowling, and pickleball, Ocean El Faro and Ocean Blue & Sand are setting a new standard for active vacations in Punta Cana.”
