As Murray mania sweeps the country, swap Murray Mount for Montego Bay with a range of incredi-ball offers at Jamaica's top tennis resorts.
Jamaica isn't just famous for its year-round sunshine, rum and reggae. The island's resorts also score an ace for offering some of the best tennis facilities in the Caribbean, where guests can sharpen their serve with friendly games, group clinics and private lessons with tennis experts.
Half Moon, A RockResort in Montego Bay offers a renowned tennis programme, with 13 lit courts and instruction from world-ranked junior pros. The 400-acre, luxury resort also features a host of activities including championship golf, swimming with dolphins and horseback riding.
Montego Bay is also home to the world-class Round Hill Hotel & Villas. The property holds summer tennis clinics run by former Davis Cup players and features rooms designed by Ralph Lauren, the official outfitter of the Wimbledon Championships. The luxurious Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa is located on the historic Rose Hall Plantation and boasts an on-site tennis academy with six floodlit courts and private lessons, in addition to a waterpark and championship golf course.
Further afield in Negril, which is famous for the pristine Seven Mile Beach and cliff-top sunset spot Rick's Café, guests can play on 10 tennis courts at Couples Swept Away. The adult-only resort's impressive 10-acre sports complex also offers squash, racquetball, basketball and an outdoor running track.
Off-court, visitors to Jamaica can enjoy other exciting activities and more attractions than anywhere else in the Caribbean, including award-winning beaches, acclaimed watersports centres and even the opportunity to zip-line through the rainforest.
