The Mouratoglou Tennis Center Jumeirah extends the reach of renowned coach Patrick Mouratoglou’s empire from his original Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in Nice, France, to the upscale hotels of Jumeirah and Madinat in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Like his French outpost, this one attracts professional tennis players, who use it as a training base between tournaments. But complemented as it is by lavish hotels and their amenities, the Mouratoglou Tennis Center Jumeirah also affords tennis-playing guests access to programs based on the Mouratoglou methodology and taught by his credentialed staff.
Peter Wessels, a Dutch-born former top ATP Top 100 player anchors a staff of nine, all of them Mouratoglou-certified coaches. Much of the focus is on private and semi-private instruction, though those suppplemented by advanced and intermediate clinics—and by “advanced” they mean tournament and national players—cardio tennis sessions, ladies’ clinics, junior programs, and customized sessions. These take place on the seven hard courts adjaced to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel or the four hard courts at Jumeirah Madinat.
Off Court
Children's programs: The Kids Club at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel organizes social activities and provides kids with a place to play, although the 30 rides at the adjacent Wadi Wadi Waterpark may have a stronger pull.
Accommodations
Architecturally stunning, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel drew its inspiration from a breaking wave. Its 618 rooms, suites, and villas variously have views of gardens and the Burj Al Arab rising above the Arabian Gulf. Among its amenities are five outdoor pools, a spa, fitness center, and four restaurants. Umm Suqeim Beach is a short walk or free shuttle ride away.
Getting there
Seasons: Year-round.
Travel Instructions: The Jumeirah neighborhood of Dubai is 26 km (16 miles) from Dubai International Airport (DXB), a roughly 30-minute taxi ride.

The tennis lessons I received were fantastic, I would highly recommend my coach Vishesh Bhatia. He was a lovely guy, very friendly & made me feel relaxed as soon as I met him, most importantly I loved his coaching methods. He didn’t over complicate things during the lessons & as well as my game improving during the week I really enjoyed the whole experience. I am just a beginner but I spoke to more experienced players who Vishesh was coaching that week & they were just as praiseworthy about his coaching techniques.

I am an expat living in Dubai for 5 years,intermediate player. I was looking for a club/coach for some time where I could feel a steady improvement, professionalism and understanding of my potential. I have booked a lesson at Al Qasr property with PBI PRO Kevin Davis. Kevin has exactly the skills I was looking for in a coach. He is highly motivated and dynamic. His drills enhance the game and keep it entertaining. What makes him stand out is his genuine care and passion for you to improve and love for tennis itself. I have tried various coaches/clubs in Dubai, but after the first lesson with Kevin, I would not go elsewhere. I highly recommend him and the club itself ( very well located and private) if you want to improve your game and have fun at the same time.

Recently I visited Al Qasr, Jumeirah Property in Dubai. I have only ever played tennis for recreational fun on my own time, and have only had minimal professional training and recreational league experience. After learning that this resort offers professional tennis services, I decided to give it a try as I like to keep active on my vacations. I must admit, I was timid at first because it had been a while since I played, but after my first lesson with PBI pro Kevin Davis, I really felt comfortable on the court and was able to easily learn new skills and techniques with his coaching. It is difficult for me to change my game, and I can be stubborn to change my technique at times, but Kevin was able to be firm and fair with me while introducing new movements and techniques; I was seeing improvement from his recommendations. I instantly booked two more lessons with him during my stay and left Dubai feeling confident in my tennis skills! Thank you Kevin for your patience with an intermediate player and all of your time and professional coaching which has helped me tremendously. I can not wait until next year when I return and will definitely be booking with Kevin again.

I had pbi pro Kevin Davies at the jumeriah property resort and honestly he was one of the best coaches I’ve had. I had 4 lessons with him and I feel like my tennis skills have greatly improved, despite the intense heat everyday. Kevin was really good at explaining at what it was that I needed to work on, for example on the serve he used a board to help improve my jump and power. My forehand has improved massively as well due to his help and also he was kind while clear on what I needed to improve. If I was to say one weakness it would be that the lessons went too fast with him. Thanks Kevin for a great week.

I am from Switzerland. I stayed in one of the Jumeirah beach resorts, namely Al Qasr. As I wanted to play tennis and improve my tennis skills during my holidays there, I decided to take private lessons. This, I’d like to leave a comment about PBI tennis pro Kevin Davis . It was a honour for me to practice with him for a week. He is an amazing coach, excellent player who is always joking and trying to improve your game. He will work on your weaknesses and as he said: “practise until you only hit it correctly and don’t know how to hit it wrong”. I had so much fun practicing with him! It was a very useful experience for me . His commitment and knowledge about tennis are just outstanding ! So if you’re in Dubai choose Kevin ! Thank you for everything coach !

I am from Russia . I’ve been participating in international junior ITF tournaments for more than 3 years . My highest ranking was about 300. This year I’m planning to go to study in American university( full scholarship). I’d like to leave a comment about PBI tennis pro Kevin Davis . It was a big pleasure for me to meet Kevin and practice with him for a week . He’s great coach , very good player and simply very friendly and nice guy . We had a lot of fun practicing with him! It was a very useful experience for me . Commitment and knowledge – these are his two main characteristics ! So if you’re in Dubai – choose Kevin ! Thank you !

We just spent a few weeks at The Jumeirah Property in Dubai and it was a great experience. I’m writing this review on behalf of my 7 year old daughter (with the help of our English tutor that travelled with us). My daughter had tennis lessons with a PBI pro by the name of Kevin Davis that had a great impression on her. Usually I don’t come to the lessons but one day I decided to watch for a little while because after the lessons my daughter would come back to the room spelling words in English and telling me their meaning which surprise me because English is not our daughters first language. I would ask her ‘how did you learn to spell those words?’ and her reply would be ‘every time in the tennis lesson she would be learning tennis and spelling English words at the same time, the name of the game was called “SPELL IT” which requires calling out the letters of a word every time she hits the ball.’ At night, our daughter, I would hear her going over the words she learned to spell in the lesson, explaining the meaning of the words, at the same time be swinging her racket in the living room. Kevin our family would like to thank you for what you have done for her and hope to see you on our next vacation.
