Excitement is building in Vero Beach as we count down the final days to the 5th edition of the Vero Beach International Tennis Open (VBITO) – the premier $75,000 USTA Pro Circuit women's tennis tournament returning to the stunning Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club from January 26 to February 1, 2026!
As proud sponsors through Vero Premier Properties, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury affiliate, we're thrilled to support this milestone event that's become the highlight of Vero Beach's social and sporting calendar. This isn't just tennis—it's a full week of world-class competition, community celebration, and unforgettable experiences for everyone in the family.
Why This Event Is a Must-Attend in 2026
The VBITO brings together 80-200 of the top rising stars in women's professional tennis, ranked 100-200 globally, representing over 30 nations (and up to 36 in recent editions!). These athletes compete for a share of the $75,000 prize purse and valuable WTA ranking points, with many past participants advancing to Grand Slam stages like the U.S. Open.
Held at the prestigious Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club—one of only ten clubs nationwide selected to host this level of tournament—the event draws thousands of attendees (over 4,600 in past years) and streams globally to more than 1.5 million viewers.
But what sets VBITO apart is its incredible lineup of off-court festivities, making it a true community extravaganza:
- Kids Day: Free fun for the little ones with complimentary tennis clinics, games, and interactions with the pros—perfect for inspiring the next generation!
- Fashion Show Dinner: A glamorous evening blending style and sport.
- Art Show: Curated exhibitions showcasing talented artists amid the tennis action.
- Antique Car Show: A dazzling display of classic automobiles for car enthusiasts.
- Plus opening ceremonies, wine socials, Pro-Am matches, dinner dances, and more!
This week-long celebration combines elite athleticism with Vero Beach's signature sophistication, all in the luxurious setting of Grand Harbor—home to championship golf, a private beach club, marina, and state-of-the-art racquets facilities.
