Top 10 Luxury Villas for Tennis Holidays

Summer wouldn’t be summer without our annual trip to Wimbledon, and with the UK enjoying the rare glow of basking in the reflected glory of a British champion (as well as the equally rare glow of a bit of English sunshine) here at Oliver’s Travels we thought we’d take a look at some of our luxury villas that are perfect for upping your game.

Whether you’re a more committed competitor or just play for a bit of friendly exercise, we’ve got plenty of luxury villas that include tennis courts in the grounds. Professional coaching can be arranged at many of our properties too (just get in touch with our Concierge team for availability and prices!), so there’s no excuse for not working on that killer backhand.

But there’s more to our holiday homes in Europe and the Caribbean than giving Nadal a run for his money – there are more sports and activities available than you can shake a racket at, as well as spas and treatments that can often be found on site! Any questions or enquiries? Just ask our Concierge team!
