Virginia packs a surprising range of tennis settings into one state. You can rally on clay near the Blue Ridge mountains, play indoors beside a university stadium, hit on courts steps from a colonial capital, or squeeze in a match between rounds of golf along the Potomac.
Tthe John Newcombe Tennis Ranch hosts adult weekend and weeklong camps all year round. No matter your level, anyone attending a Newks camp will leave having played as much tennis as possible, with plenty to work on when you return home.
There’s something about a fall tennis trip that makes it easy to get a group together. The heat of summer begins to ease, the days are still long, and a few days away can feel like a real break without requiring a complicated itinerary. Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, Alys Beach makes a particularly appealing setting for that kind of getaway.

Padel resorts in the USA are quickly becoming the new must-have amenity for luxury travelers, and this padel travel trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Tennis travel has moved well beyond "a resort with a few courts out back." A new wave of luxury properties has built entire identities around the sport: hiring name-brand coaching talent, running structured multi-day camps, and pairing that instruction with proven five-star hospitality.
The unquestionable lure of this particular program is its setting along the Costa de la Luz overlooking La Barrosa Beach.
The Markson program offers the usual 15 hours a week of intensive tennis at a club with seven European red-clay courts and four hard courts. Guests bed down in one of two hotels: the 413-room Royal Andulus, which is open all year, and the somewhat more elegant 237-room Andalucia Playa, which is open May to October. Both have swimming pools and fitness center, while the Andalucia Playa also has a spa. Whichever option guests choose they are a five-minute stroll from a handsome tennis club with 7 European red clay and four hard courts. Markson’s intensive tennis program runs three hours each morning leaving the rest of the day free to explore or hang out at the beach.
