Whether you prefer a baseline battle or like to dominate the net, we have some winning news for you: Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island is serving up a tennis event where you can hone your skills around the court this December.
Playing ball from December 5 to 13, the resort’s LT Star Event will see tennis pros, former WTA world number No.9 Julia Görges and current ATP Doubles world number No.3 Wesley Koolhof, take to the resort’s beachside court to pass on their knowledge of the game through individual training sessions. Perfect for absolute beginners wanting to learn the basics to seasoned players wanting valuable tips from the top, the event is a great showpiece for those with a love of the sport.
But once game, set and match has been called, the balls are definitely still in play, as guests will be able to recuperate from the on-court action with a therapeutic spa treatment or take their mind off any double faulted serves with a snorkel around the reef.
When guests need a little pre- or post-game energy boost, they can refuel at Peruvian/Japanese restaurant Kayto or poolside at beachside at Greek/Mediterranean restaurant Shimmers, before heading to their Ocean, Pool or Lagoon villa for some much-needed R’n’R.
Sounds like a smashing time!
