Antalya, Turkey Where World-Class Racket Sports Meet the Mediterranean
Experience the perfect combination of exceptional racket sports and a relaxing beachfront holiday at Ali Bey Resort Sorgun. Set on the beautiful Mediterranean coast, this award-winning resort is home to one of Europe's finest racket sports centres, offering an unrivalled setting for pickleball enthusiasts.
Enjoy energising pickleball sessions led by our expert coaches, relax on the resort's private beach, savour outstanding Ultra All-Inclusive dining, and spend your evenings socialising with fellow players. Ali Bey Resort Sorgun delivers an experience you'll want to return to year after year.
Our Pickleball Program
Enjoy 20 hours of pickleball across five days, with two-hour sessions in both the morning and afternoon. Led by our expert coaching team, each day combines high-quality coaching, tactical development, and plenty of match play, culminating in a fun and friendly tournament where you can put your new skills into practice.
Session times will be confirmed during the holiday and may vary depending on group size, weather conditions or other operational requirements.
The Itineray of the week is an example of what a typical PSO pickleball holiday may include.
At PSO, we don't believe in rigid itineraries. Every holiday is shaped around the players on the trip, taking into account the group's abilities, goals and progress throughout the week. Our experienced coaching team continually adapts each session to ensure you get the most from your time on court.
As a result, no two holidays are ever exactly the same. Every PSO experience is thoughtfully designed to create the perfect balance of coaching, match play, social activities and relaxation—making each holiday unique for the people taking part.
Your holiday will be led by one of our highly experienced Head or Lead Coaches, all of whom are among Europe's most respected pickleball professionals.

Do I need a visa for Turkey?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Some travellers can enter visa-free, while others must obtain an e-Visa or apply through a Turkish embassy. Check here: https://www.mfa.gov.tr/general-information-about-turkish-visas.en.mfa Please note that it is the traveller’s responsibility to check and meet all visa requirements. PSO Travel cannot accept responsibility for any visa-related issues.
-
Can I get help with the entry requirements for Turkey?
We are happy to assist you with general information about the entry requirements, but it is your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements of the country you are planning to visit for your own specific circumstances.
-
Are flights included?
Flights are usually not included in our packages. However, we’re happy to assist with booking your flights and will recommend a group flight option for ease and convenience. When travelling on the group flight, airport transfers are included.
-
What happens to my transfer when my flight changes?
If you have booked your own flight, we will adjust your transfer time once you have let us know the new flight time. If you have booked your flight with us, we take care of everything.
-
Do you provide a coach for each holiday?
Our holidays come with coaching, but we are also happy to accommodate groups who wish to bring their own coach or want to play socially only.
-
Will there be someone on-site as my main point of contact during the event?
A PSO Travel representative and event team members will be staying at the venue throughout the tournament and will be available to support you at all times.
-
Am I insured with your company?
You are financially protected through our membership with the Travel Trust Association (TTA) and, where applicable, ATOL protection. Please note that ATOL protection is provided only when flights are included in your package and does not apply to group flights.

If you need to cancel, we will amend or cancel your booking and handle any refunds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

-

Depending on the resort, you may be able to rent a racket at the Tennis Centre, but we strongly recommend bringing your own racket/bat/paddle.
-

We still recommend having some Turkish Lira on hand for smaller purchases, tips, or local markets. Most places accept major credit and debit cards, but American Express (Amex) is rarely accepted so it's best to have an alternative card with you.
-
Can I join your holidays if I’m travelling solo?
Absolutely! Many of our guests travel solo, and our holidays are designed to be welcoming and social. We can offer or help match you with another solo traveller if you'd prefer to share. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people and enjoy a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
-
Can I travel with someone who isn’t playing?

-
Can I book private coaching during the holiday?
Yes, private coaching sessions are usually available during your holiday. If you’d like one-on-one time with a coach to work on specific skills or get personalised tips, just let us know in advance or speak to the team on-site. Availability may vary depending on the schedule, so early requests are recommended.
-
Can the named coach for the holiday change?
While we always aim to deliver the coaching experience as advertised, occasionally the named coach may change due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, we will ensure that a qualified and experienced coach leads the programme, maintaining the same high standard of coaching you expect from us.
-
Can I use the courts outside of the coaching sessions?
Court availability outside of scheduled sessions depends on the resort. At some venues, courts are free to use when not booked for coaching or events. However, some resorts may require a reservation or charge a fee.
-
Do I need to attend every session?
Not at all. While we encourage you to join as many sessions as you’d like to get the most from your holiday, it’s completely up to you. If you're feeling tired, achy, or unwell, feel free to take a break and rest—your wellbeing comes first. Whether you want to play all day or unwind by the pool, the choice is entirely yours.
-
Do I need to eat with the group at all times?
No, you're free to dine whenever and with whomever you like. While we often enjoy meals together as a group—and it’s a great way to socialise—there’s absolutely no obligation. It’s your holiday, so you’re welcome to do what feels right for you.
