The UK’s tennis holiday specialists · since 1997
About Tennis Breaks & Paul
We’re not a faceless tour operator that happens to sell tennis. We’re a real coach and a real community of players — and we’ve been travelling, playing and improving together for nearly thirty years.
It started with a group of people who love tennis
Tennis Breaks didn’t begin as a travel company. It began in 1997 as a simple idea: gather a group of adults who love the game, take them somewhere sunny with beautiful courts, and give them proper coaching alongside genuinely good company. The friendships did the rest.
Nearly three decades on, that’s still exactly what we do. Our club has grown to a large community of players, but every trip is still small — a maximum of 16 guests — so the coaching stays personal and nobody gets lost in a crowd. Many of our clients return year after year, and more than once. It’s why we describe ourselves as a community that travels, rather than a holiday you simply buy.
Meet your host
Run by a real coach, since day one
I got into tennis when I was about 15 and I’ve been playing ever since. I love the game, I love coaching, and I really enjoy meeting people.
Tennis Breaks started back in 1997, when I organised a trip for the players I was coaching at the time. It was a huge success, so I carried on — and I’ve been doing it ever since.
A tennis holiday brings together two things I love: tennis and holidays. What could be better? My favourite moments? There are too many to pick just one, but the best part is always seeing a group get on and have a brilliant time together — and to be honest, that happens on just about every trip.
I’m an LTA Level 4 coach and I love teaching people and helping them improve. And given the choice between coaching here in the UK and coaching on lovely clay courts in the sunshine… it’s a bit of a no-brainer, really.

Tennis Breaks Coaches

Our team also runs the socials and dinners, so someone who knows the group is always looking after you off court too.
What we stand for
Why a named coach beats a faceless operator
Anyone can book you a hotel with a court. Here’s what actually makes the difference.
Coaching first
Every trip is led by a real LTA coach, with guests grouped carefully by ability so the coaching actually moves your game on.
Solo or with friends
Come on your own or with your partner and friends. Small groups, shared dinners and doubles mean you'll never feel alone.
Small groups
Up to 16, grouped by ability with our own coaches — so you get real court time and real attention, never a conveyor belt.
People who return
Our best measure of success: clients who come back year after year, and bring their friends.
