Phuket, Thailand, November 17, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / Dreaming of becoming the next Roger Federer? Take on the challenge during your holiday at the Anantara Layan Phuket Resort. The resort's Layan Active Zone offers numerous activities for adults and children, including a new tennis academy for hotel guests. There's also a 400-meter zip line, a surf-skate facility, a 10.5-meter outdoor climbing wall, a Muay Thai boxing ring, an outdoor fitness area, a lakeside pool, and a teen zone.

Lux Tennis has developed a new tennis program specifically for guests of the Anantara Layan Phuket Resort. Joshua Elliot, former UK top-10 junior player and Wimbledon junior champion, will share his professional tennis experience with guests.

Whether beginner or aspiring professional – our tennis packages offer tennis enthusiasts the opportunity to benefit from private individual lessons, and children the chance to participate in an entertaining group tennis course.

Tennis has been proven to improve the metabolism of adults, increase bone density, and strengthen muscles, power, and flexibility. Private one-on-one lessons with Joshua allow guests to work on various aspects of their game – focusing on endurance, technique, strategy, and above all, the joy of playing tennis. 30-minute lessons are available from 2500 THB. Anyone who beats our tennis pro in a full match wins a free lesson.

Every Saturday from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM and Tuesdays from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, the Anantara Layan offers its guests a free tennis clinic for children. Here, little ones can playfully learn the basics of tennis and practice rallies. Under the guidance of tennis coach Joshua Elliot, the clinic includes warm-up exercises and targeted training with a focus on match and tournament play. The clinic is aimed at beginners and advanced players alike and helps them gain experience through daily practice.

Tennis promotes coordination, strengthens self-confidence and team spirit. It is extremely beneficial for the physical and mental well-being of children. Through regular practice and play, children learn basic techniques, concentration, and a positive attitude, demonstrate fair play, and develop respect for their coach and teammates.
