What is Play Tennis Abroad?

At PlayTennisAbroad we organise hosted and bespoke tennis holidays throughout the year to Mallorca, Spain.  We offer various packages, including adult group coaching, private coaching, adult beginner course, kids summer camp and group tennis retreats. Private and bespoke coaching is available year-round.  Adult group coaching holidays run from April to mid-June and resume from late September to early November.  Kids’ summer camp is offered from late June to early September.

What makes PlayTennisAbroad different from other tennis holiday companies?

PlayTennisAbroad works only with established tennis clubs that have their own tennis schools and highly qualified local coaches with national and international experience. We don’t organise hotel-and-court style holidays; instead, in Mallorca we collaborate with several clubs to offer a variety of coaching opportunities, all on traditional red clay courts. Our adult group coaching sessions are designed to make sure everyone feels part of the experience, and we also arrange optional off-court activities such as beach yoga, fitness sessions, or sunset walks, depending on the break. To make sure players are well matched, we use the NTRP rating system for self-assessment, with coaches making adjustments if needed. A few weeks before each trip, we set up a WhatsApp group so participants can connect in advance, and our booking process is kept simple, with queries on WhatsApp usually answered within 24 hours. Our accommodation options are all a minimum of 4-star, and our aim is to be the best value tennis break company. We are proud to have very satisfied customers who give us excellent ratings on Google and Trustpilot, and the majority of our guests return to us for future tennis breaks.

Where are your tennis breaks located?

Our tennis holidays are hosted in Calvià, Mallorca, just 25 minutes from Palma Airport, which offers direct flights to all major European airports. We collaborate with three venues in the area — two tennis clubs and one tennis academy — providing access to a total of 17 clay courts.  Our two main venues, featuring 6 and 7 clay courts respectively, are within walking distance of our accommodation options, while the third venue is conveniently accessible by taxi in under 10 minutes.

What should I know about the coaching and courts?

We exclusively work with qualified tennis coaches who are part of the local tennis clubs and academy. To learn more about the PTA team supporting your tennis holiday, please visit PTA TEAM.  Tennis coaching takes place on clay courts. One of the main benefits of clay courts is their soft and comfortable surface, which reduces impact on joints and helps prevent injuries during training and gameplay—making them an excellent choice for players of all levels.

Do I need to be an advanced player to join?

Not at all! Our holidays are open to players of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Coaching sessions are tailored to your skill level. For beginners, we offer private one-on-one coaching, and several times a year, we also organise group coaching sessions specifically for beginners. For advanced club players, we organise dedicated tennis breaks a few times a year .  For adult group coaching holidays, we use NTRP ratings to assign players to appropriate groups. Based on the information you provide, we will place you in a coaching group. However, please note that coaches may move you to a different group if they feel it’s necessary. To self-assess your tennis level, please visit NTRP Tennis Rating.

Do we have to bring a tennis racket?

Yes, please! A racket is a very personal piece of equipment—its weight, strings, and grip can significantly impact your game. To get the most out of your tennis holiday, it’s best to play with a racket you’re familiar with.

What are the accommodation options?

We offer a variety of 4-star hotels within 20 minutes’ walk from the main tennis venue. Breakfast is included as a standard, and some of the hotels are adults-only. Additionally, we provide a finca accommodation option, though it’s a bit further out, so we recommend renting a car for convenience.

Do you offer tennis-only camps without accommodation?

Unfortunately, we don’t. Our packages include tennis, accommodation, and off-court social activities. We allocate a specific hotel for each tennis break to ensure all players stay together, making it easier to manage the group and enhance the overall experience. However, if you’ve booked a package and would like additional private coaching, we can arrange this for you.

How do I book a holiday?

Simply visit our website, browse our packages, and complete the booking form.  A non-refundable deposit of €150 is required, with the balance due 4 weeks before the start of the holiday. If you’re booking an adult group holiday package and would like to add extra nights, please mention this in the comments. We will update your booking manually once we receive your main package booking. Extra nights will be added to the balance.

Adult Tennis Breaks / Camps

Adult group coaching is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and small groups of friends. Our guests come from all over and coaching is conducted in English. Sessions run from either Monday to Thursday or Thursday to Sunday, starting at 13:00 on day one and concluding by midday on day four. We always have a minimum of 4 courts and 4 coaches covering 4 skill levels, which can expand to 6 courts across 2 venues with 6 coaches, depending on the number of players. Players are assigned to groups based on their NTRP tennis rating. The player-to-coach ratio typically ranges from 4 to 6 players per coach. Our adult group coaching holidays are hosted and include optional free off-court social activities. You can choose to participate in these activities at your leisure. If you have specific preferences regarding groups—such as age or solo traveller considerations—feel free to contact us on WhatsApp, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Can we book additional court time?

Yes, you can book additional court time on top of the coaching hours. As our tennis breaks take place at proper tennis clubs, any extra court time must be booked directly with the club and paid for locally. Clay courts are available from €18 per hour.

Do you offer transfers?

Unfortunately, we do not offer transfers, as there are excellent transport options available from Palma Airport to the accommodations. You can take a semi-direct bus from the airport, with a travel time of 40 to 55 minutes. Alternatively, taxis are available with a transfer time of 25 minutes, costing around €45-€50, and are available 24/7. For meet-and-greet airport transfers and for group transfers we recommend using ziptransfers.com.

Can I book extra nights?

Yes, of course. If you’d like to extend your stay, we can add extra nights and you won’t have to change rooms. Just let us know in the comments section that you’d like to book extra nights.

Can I bring non-playing friend or partner?

Absolutely! Non-playing guests are welcome to enjoy the amenities and explore the destination while you participate in tennis activities. There is an additional supplement depending on the type of room you’ve booked. Please contact us for more details.

What’s the feedback?

We’re confident you’ll love your experience! We’re proud to have excellent reviews on Google and Trustpilot, with a 95% customer satisfaction rate. Our tennis holidays provide the perfect blend of professional coaching, comfortable accommodations, stunning beaches, and a sunny, picturesque destination. Many guests choose to return year after year, so we highly recommend booking early, as our packages always sell out.
