Much enhanced over the past two years, as part of Kronos Homes’ extensive strategic investment in the legendary Vale do Lobo resort, the Tennis Academy is home to 12 tennis courts and six padel courts. It also boasts a new fitness centre, decked area, heated swimming pool and pro shop, ensuring players have everything on hand to elevate their game.
The Vale do Lobo Tennis Academy welcomes members and visitors alike, offering a range of discounts and benefits as part of its busy year-round programme of individual and group coaching, tournaments, social match days and other experiences, as well as free weekly level assessments.
Coaching sessions and classes are ideal for players for all ages, with both individual and group sessions available. Fun and playful sessions for pre-juniors – children up to 10 years old – focus on motor skills, coordination and teamwork. As players progress to junior level, the emphasis is on building solid foundations and developing technique, strokes, tactics and discipline.
Adult classes and coaching sessions are adapted to players’ ability levels, supporting them to improve their game through personalised attention, while staying active and having fun. Specialist advanced and competition sessions are available for those at the peak of their game, covering technical and tactical refinement, match play, mental preparation and fitness.
Many families take advantage of the October half term holiday to brush up on their tennis skills while also enjoying the pools, restaurants, golf course, beach and a myriad of other facilities at Vale do Lobo. The resort also organises a diverse range of tennis events throughout the year, with the next being the Veterans’ Tennis Tournament. Held between 29 September and 5 October 2025, the Veterans’ Tennis Tournament welcomes the National Individual Veterans Champions to Vale do Lobo’s courts. Two days of qualifiers precede five days of intense match play, providing plenty of opportunities to see world-class tennis in action.
