The professionals are in Miami and Indian Wells this month, and then headed to Monte Carlo and Spain for the start of the European spring season. Here’s a look at what some of our readers had to say about their stays in these stunning locations.

Emilio Sanchez Academy Barcelona, El Prat de Llobregat, Spain

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 ”Excellent coaching, friendly, approachable, helpful. Intense programme, geared to performance and achievement. Very highly recommended."—P.R., Adv. Int., May 2018

Guillermo Vilas Tennis Academy, Palmanova, Majorca, Spain

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 "I attended the adult camp whilst on holiday in Palma Nova. The academy was within a minutes walk from my family's holiday apartment. I booked in for three days from 9-11pm. I could have played in the early evening but family commitments meant I did not avail myself of this service. The morning camp was of groups of 2/3 and the format was to move coaches every 30 minutes so that you had four coaches per day who concentrated on some aspect of tennis. You were exposed to a variety of coaching styles in a short period of time. The coaches were professional and gave good feedback. I enjoyed the camp and was glad to get a hit on holiday"—J.B., Int., July 2018
