Tennis in Mallorca: Best clubs, coaching & professional events (Mallorca Open 2022)

Since 2012 I've been hosting adult tennis holidays in Mallorca, Spain. The sun shines almost 300 days per year. The clay courts slow the ball perfectly so you can improve your game. International players add dimension to each others daily tennis experiences. Professional tennis events hosted on Mallorca offer tennis lovers a dreamy week of sophistication and tennis excellence. And the number of eye dropping beaches to enjoy after tennis make it the perfect tennis escape on a sensational Mediterranean island.

What could go wrong? Well, to have the best tennis experience during your visit to the island - location is everything! Take it from me. Someone’s whose made my fair share of mistakes.

Single Tennis Holidays: Getting off the Grid on Mallorca

Tennis on Mallorca’s west coast is the best coast for your tennis game. Why the west? Well, FAR from Magaluf sits a lovely little bay where you can get away, for real. The temperatures feel milder in this little slice of refreshing. So hitting a mountain of tennis balls doesn’t feel like you’re hitting them inside a Bikram’s yoga studio. It helps having the base of the Tramuntana mountains to your back and the sea in front. Prices are fair for travelers on Mallorca (another draw) compared to other tourist gouging spots to play like France & Italy. And while Port de Soller’s still a wee bit bougee & special, Sí … it’s also totally down to earth😎.

Adult Tennis Lessons: Mallorca´s west side steals the show

Tennis holidays can be a commitment. Yep, a full week of tennis allows you the time and leisure to focus on your game if you don't have time at home. But if 15 hrs. of an adult tennis camp is too much, than Adult tennis lessons a la carte may fit your holiday easier. I totally get how exploring the island begs for your attention to share your time! Believe me. It’s why I moved here. Or it maybe your traveling with another who doesn’t play tennis and you want to spend more time together.

A Winning Mindset for Beginner Tennis Players

How much of tennis is mental?

More than 80% of tennis is mental even though most believe it´s a technical and physical game. Having a winning mindset for beginner tennis players means acknowledging where you´re at - NOW.

Generate your momentum with small steps which feel like small victories as you learn to play tennis. Trust that with that grit you WILL find success in this game. And show up for your next practice, no matter how rough the last one was.
