Luxury Villas with a Private Tennis Court

A court on the grounds changes how a group holiday runs: mornings are played before the heat, nobody books a club slot, and the house becomes the venue. It is also one of the amenities listings describe least precisely.

Estates with a private tennis court

9 estates in the collection

Where private courts are found

Courts need flat land, so they cluster where estates are large: the Hamptons and Nantucket compounds on the US East Coast, Sandy Lane in Barbados, Mustique's hillside villas, Punta Mita and Careyes on Mexico's Pacific coast, and the gardens of Cap d'Antibes. Tight cliffside markets such as Amalfi and Capri rarely have them.

Every house on this page mentions a tennis court in its supplier description. Where that wording is thin, the desk confirms the details below before you book.

What to check before booking

Surface (hard, clay or artificial grass), whether it is floodlit for evening play, and whether it is private to the house or shared with neighbouring villas in a resort estate. Ask too whether rackets and balls are supplied, and whether a coach can be arranged locally.

In the Caribbean and Mexico, midday heat makes early morning and late afternoon the realistic playing windows, so floodlights matter more than they do in the Hamptons summer.

Frequently asked

Which luxury villas have a private tennis court?
In our current inventory they sit mainly in the Hamptons and Nantucket, Barbados, Mustique, Punta Mita, Careyes and Cap d'Antibes. The list on this page updates automatically from supplier descriptions that mention a court.
Is the tennis court private to the villa?
Usually on standalone estates, but not always inside resort communities, where a court can be shared between several houses. Ask the desk to confirm before booking if exclusive use matters.
Can a tennis coach come to the villa?
In most of these destinations a local coach can be arranged for private sessions. It is booked separately from the villa and priced by the hour.
Are rackets and balls provided?
Many houses keep a basic set, but quality and quantity vary. If you play seriously, bring your own rackets and ask the house to stock fresh balls before arrival.
