Mauna Kea Beach Hotel - Waimea, hawaii
Set along a flawless stretch of the Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel serves up oceanside tennis with scenery that’s frankly unfair. Its Seaside Tennis Club is world-famous, boasting 11 courts literally perched above the Pacific. The vibe? Old-school elegance meets low-key island luxe.

Whether you're joining a clinic or rallying with a view, this is as close as you’ll get to playing tennis in paradise.
Villa d’Este – Cernobbio, Italy
If your forehand thrives on vibes alone, Villa d’Este is your court of dreams. Nestled on the banks of Lake Como, this iconic 16th-century estate is equal parts opulence and athletic retreat. Its two tennis courts are framed by manicured gardens and the kind of mountains that make double faults feel philosophical. This is where you play in a skort, sip espresso between sets, and wonder if that was George Clooney cheering from the hedges.
Enchantment Resort – Sedona, Arizona
Set inside the red rock beauty of Boynton Canyon, Enchantment Resort serves up desert energy with luxe athleticism. Its eight outdoor courts come with canyon views that might just distract you mid-serve. Players can book private instruction, join group drills, or opt for a solo sweat session while soaking in the vortex vibes. Bonus: Mii amo spa is right there for your post-match stretch, sauna, or spiritual recalibration.
High Hampton – Cashiers, North Carolina
A Blue Ridge hideaway with charming Southern hospitality, High Hampton is a dreamy blend of cozy and competitive. The property’s clay courts are surrounded by forest and fog. It’s the kind of place where you play a few sets before heading to a porch swing with a bourbon. The tennis program is robust and beginner-friendly, but the vibe is unpretentious, with just enough prep to make you feel like a Kennedy on sabbatical.
Round Hill Hotel and Villas – Montego Bay, Jamaica
Round Hill is a vintage Caribbean fantasy, with a tennis facility that feels equal parts elite and effortlessly relaxed. There are five DecoTurf courts and an on-site tennis pro team ready to sharpen your spin or casually flirt with your technique. Between morning matches and sunset swims, you’ll find yourself channeling Grace Kelly or Paul Newman circa 1962. It’s resort tennis at its breeziest.
Epi Baie de Pampelonne – Saint Tropez, France
This ultra exclusive hideaway on the French Riviera doesn’t just have tennis courts, it has statement courts. Epi 1959 is a minimalist fever dream with a members club aesthetic and two grass courts designed for both peak performance and peak. The entire resort caters to the fashion crowd who actually does play tennis but also maybe brought a racket as an accessory. If you land a reservation here, you’re not just on vacation, you’re on a lifestyle bender.
