About Us
DinkRetreats was born out of a passion for pickleball and unique travel experiences. Foodie-focused and local-spot obsessed, our private tours showcase the hidden gems of Portugal— along with the best pickleball in town.
Composed of Maria Young, a certified travel advisor and owner of concierge style service TripDownload (DinkRetreats’ parent company); and Nicole Villa, a certified passionate pickleball player who hosts an annual pickleball charity tournament supporting San Diego 501-C3s — DinkRetreats melds a passion for fun and experience.
Together we have traveled to 30+ countries and have 20+ years of travel planning and experiential marketing experience.
Expect inspiring, detailed itineraries filled with keen insight, personal recommendations, & seamless travel.
