This November, the stakes are high, and so are the hits as players face off in the region’s biggest beach tennis tournament. The Aruba Open Beach Tennis Championships will take place from 10 to 17 November 2024 and feature top local, regional, and international athletes. Nets will be drawn, and competitors will face off on Bushiri Beach in a steady stream of exciting matches.

After a series of intense matches, the competitors and spectators will cool their adrenaline each night to the beat of live entertainment.
