Next-Gen Champions: Inspiring Young Tennis Lovers on Vacation
At Scott Dunn, active travel is second nature. From sun-soaked courts to coastal adventures, our family vacations are designed to spark joy, movement and discovery, especially for our younger guests. Through our Explorers program, children are invited to indulge in their playful side and cast off the routines and restrictions that term-time brings, in some of the world’s most beautiful destinations.

Across our handpicked collection of luxury resorts, tennis and padel play a central role in our curated experiences. Whether your little one is picking up a racquet for the first time or your teenager is chasing that winning backhand, our properties offer exceptional facilities, expert coaching, and personalized programming to suit every level and age.
Many of our resorts feature purpose-built courts, daily sessions, and professional guidance from some of the sport’s most talented coaches. Two resorts in particular stand out for their tennis and padel facilities, where Explorers will love their time on court, and families can play together or book sessions to improve their game or join weekly tournaments. Older siblings have no end of options to create a program of sport to keep them entertained doing the things they love most.
Costa Navarino, Greece
Perched along the pristine Ionian coastline in the Navarino Dunes, Costa Navarino is home to the world-class Mouratoglou Tennis Center. With 12 tennis courts, 3 padel courts and 2 for pickleball, this state-of-the-art complex was envisioned by Patrick Mouratoglou, renowned coach and mentor whose career to date includes roles with Serena Williams, Stafanos Tsitsipas, Coco Gauff and Grigor Dimitrov. Here, guests can choose from private and group lessons, or full tennis camps, all set against the dazzling Mediterranean backdrop.
Pine Cliffs Resort, Algarve
On Portugal’s golden southern coast, Pine Cliffs is the proud host of the Annabel Croft Tennis & Padel Academy, one of the most renowned tennis centers in Europe. Run by the former British No.1 and her experienced team, the academy offers floodlit clay and hard courts alongside padel courts and professional coaching for all levels. Within our Explorers program, children enjoy introductory group sessions that focus on movement, teamwork and skill-building. For budding pros, we can arrange personalized training or place them into vacation tournaments to test their game.
Beyond these two flagship resorts, our portfolio includes other exceptional properties where racquet sports take center court:
- Daios Cove, Crete, Greece: A serene and stylish retreat where tennis features prominently in the Explorers weekly schedule.
