Active Away: 20 Years of Tennis Holidays

As Wimbledon captures the world’s attention this summer, Active Away is already looking ahead to 2026 as they prepare to offer a brand new, doubles-focused tennis program created in partnership with 7-time Grand Slam champion Jamie Murray.

Launched in 2006, Active Away has built a strong reputation as the leading provider of adult club-level doubles tennis holidays in Europe for two decades, offering a unique blend of elite coaching, social play, and luxury travel. With the 2026 calendar now available, the team seeks to offer even better programming and holidays for guests, building on their incredible list of destinations and properties that have gained traction for years.

Doubling Down on Doubles

Unlike many tennis camps that emphasize singles or individual training, Active Away has always focused on the strategic and social nature of doubles. The format appeals to the growing number of players who value teamwork, tactics, and community over grueling baseline rallies.

One guest recounts why he an his wife have continued to rebook with Active Away:

“Why would my wife and I travel to Europe for tennis with Active Away? Most tennis camps we have attended focus on singles, but we mostly play doubles as we age. Active Away combines great 5-star all-inclusive resorts in Europe with great doubles-exclusive instruction. We have attended 3 Active Away tennis holidays in 2 years at the Ikos resorts, which are outstanding in terms of location, accommodation, food and drink.” – 3-time Active Away customer

Jamie Murray x Active Away

Jamie Murray, Active Away brand ambassador and current Tournament Director of the Queen’s Club Championships, brings a deep understanding of doubles tennis to Active Away. He joined in 2024 and has since elevated the tennis programs as well as worked with their coaching staff to improve guest experiences and takeaways. His 2026 program – developed exclusively for Active Away – is tailored to recreational players who want to elevate their doubles game while enjoying a five-star experience.
