Best All Inclusives for Tennis Lovers

We get it, tennis lovers….there’s something so satisfying about giving that little yellow ball a good smackaroo!

If you love tennis and just can’t bear to give it up while on vacation, have no fear – most all inclusive resorts have tennis courts, many also have equipment you can use (but bring your own ‘whites’!), and some offer lessons from on-site pros to help improve your game. And some now even offer Pickleball!

So if you’re looking for an all-inclusive resort with excellent tennis facilities and professional coaching, look no further…

Club Med Columbus Isle, Bahamas

Christopher Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas way back in 1492, and called the native Lucayan inhabitants “sweet and gentle.” What Columbus would think of the guests at the island’s Check PricesClub Med Columbus Isle resort is entirely up for debate, but I’m sure he’d be impressed with the tennis facilities. The resort has eight clay courts, four of which are floodlit. Both beginners and advanced players can benefit from group classes tailored to differing levels. Classes are held six days a week.

Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic

Seriously, is there anything that Check PricesCasa de Campo doesn’t have? It’s got history, great golf, a hip adults-only nightclub, celebrities and international concerts. Heck, it’s even a prime location for surviving the zombie apocalypse. And yes, it’s perfect for tennis enthusiasts. You can enjoy unlimited tennis at the resort’s La Terraza Tennis Center, dubbed the Wimbledon of the Caribbean. It has 13 fast-dry Har-Tru tennis courts, with 25 professional coaches on staff and available for classes. Ideal for perfecting that deadly serve before the zombies attack…

Curtain Bluff, Antigua

The Check PricesCurtain Bluff resort hosts the annual Antigua Tennis Week, attracting professional players from across the globe, which gives a clear idea of the standard of its tennis facilities. Guests can use the tennis center’s four championship hard courts. The resort’s three resident pro coaches, meanwhile, are on hand from 7 a.m. onward to help pair-up guests, to challenge guests, and to give private lessons. Private lessons cost $70 per hour. Just don’t let the pretty scenery distract you from your game: the beach is close enough for John McEnroe to easily throw his racket at it.

Carlisle Bay, Antigua

Did you know? Antigua is the ‘Pickleball capital of the Caribbean’.

Another stunning resort in Antigua for tennis lovers, Check PricesCarlisle Bay Resort has five courts, three of which are floodlit for nighttime play. You’ll have to book the “Super Chill Out” package to have a genuine all-inclusive experience, but after that you can play all day, with the white sand beach in one direction and the tropical rainforest in the other. Professional instructors are available for one-on-one and group lessons at extra cost.

Couples Swept Away, Jamaica

Check PricesCouples Swept Away is a 19-acre resort in Negril, Jamaica with all kinds of sports activities fully included, so fitness fanatics will be in heaven.
