Tennis holidays

You can expect the best of the best in tennis coaching with our Mark Petchey tennis programme. The programme runs daily at most of our beachclubs, with free group coaching sessions run by expert coaches, trained by Mark himself.

Our coaching sessions are grouped by ability, so whether you’re a complete beginner or you’re ready to pick up next year’s Grand Slam, you can practice with others of a similar level. And at the end of every week there’s an informal tournament (our very own Wimbledon) for all players.

If tennis is your passion, join us for one of our exclusive Mark Petchey tennis weeks and hit a few balls with the man himself. 

During these exclusive weeks, you'll be training in the sunshine with ex-GB tennis player and Andy Murray's former coach Mark Petchey. Mark will never be far from the courts and will be joining our coaching team for our inclusive coaching and social sessions to put you through your paces and share his knowledge of the game.

These tennis weeks are the perfect way to improve your tennis with like-minded people. We’re still working on dates for summer 2021.  Details will be posted just as soon as we have them, so check back regularly to be one of the first in the know.
 

Premium tennis is for regular players looking for some intensive coaching. There's over ten hours of coaching a week in small groups of up to eight people. For just £125 per person, coaching will include a specific focus on:

Developing groundstrokes and skill playing at the net; mastering different service techniques and how to play to a game plan - preparing you for a win; footwork and tennis-specific fitness exercises; there’s also a 30-minute one-to-one session with your coach.  

Premium tennis is exclusive to Mar Menor Beachclub in Spain, Alana Beachclub in Croatia, Messini and Buca  Beachclubs in Greece. Don't miss out, pre-book before travel to guarantee your place.

NEW at Retreat Beachclub for summer 2021 we have added three Padel tennis courts. 

Padel is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court roughly 25% smaller than the size of a tennis court. Scoring is the same as normal tennis and the balls used are similar but with a little less pressure. The main differences are that the court has walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way as in the game of squash and that solid, stringless bats are used. The height of the ball being served must be at or below the waist level.

The rules are broadly the same as tennis and groups of mixed age and ability can easily play together. We think it will be a great new addition to the tennis programme.
