Nashville – Travel + Leisure Co. has revealed plans to establish a new Sports Illustrated Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, with a scheduled opening date in Spring 2026. The resort will be positioned on Music Row in Midtown, conveniently just one mile from downtown Nashville and The Gulch, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and locals.
This upcoming resort is designed to serve as a vacation ownership property, featuring a variety of accommodation options including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites. Each suite will be equipped with modern amenities such as a full kitchen and in-unit laundry facilities, enhancing the comfort and convenience for guests.
Additionally, the resort will boast an array of features aimed at creating a memorable stay. Among these amenities are a resort-style outdoor pool, a quick-service dining venue, an exclusive lounge for owners, and a signature fitness center. The design of the Sports Illustrated Resort aims to immerse guests in the vibrant culture of Nashville, reflecting the city’s rich identity as a center for sports and entertainment.
Nashville has earned a reputation for its dynamic sports culture, noted for having iconic professional teams in both football and hockey, as well as a thriving competitive college sports scene. This lively atmosphere is expected to attract sports enthusiasts to the new resort, further enhancing its appeal in the marketplace.
The introduction of the Nashville Sports Illustrated Resort fits into Travel + Leisure Co.’s strategic vision to expand its offerings, targeting new vacation experiences that cater specifically to modern travelers. Sports Illustrated Resorts will utilize a points-based ownership model throughout its properties, allowing owners to enjoy flexibility in their travel while navigating the sports landscape. This ownership model enables guests to stay close to their favorite teams or to revisit special game-day destinations.
As the Nashville property prepares to welcome its first owners and guests in 2026, it follows the announcement of a similar facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which is also set to break ground in the same year. This initiative highlights a growing trend in vacation ownership that seeks to offer deeper connections to sporting events and locations across the country.
Travel + Leisure Co.’s entry into Nashville with the Sports Illustrated Resort is not just a significant addition to the local hospitality scene but also reinforces the city’s status as a key player in the tourism and sports industries. As Nashville continues to evolve, the new resort is expected to draw visitors looking for a blend of relaxation and engagement in the city’s vibrant sports culture.
The development further indicates a commitment to enhancing vacation ownership opportunities within notable locales, reflecting tourist interests and helping to shape the future of leisure travel in America.
