You can&#8217;t walk out on the clay courts of the French Open or play the well trimmed lawns of Wimbledon but there\u2019s plenty of courts around the world where you can hit a few across the net. Here\u2019s our Listopedia of the best tennis resorts around the world.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Expedia Hamilton Island\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Hamilton-Island-Whitsunday-Islands-Hotels.0-n6053159-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels?brandcid=blog.article.listopedia.tennisresorts_240815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamilton Island, Australia<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re off your game, a tennis match in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef is something special. You don\u2019t even need to pack your racquet along with your snorkel in your suitcase. The Hamilton Island Sports Club provides balls and racquets. Court hire is free for guests staying at several of the hotels on the island, including the Reef View Hotel. Social tennis matches are organised by the Club, along with professional coaching.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Expedia Cromlix\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.article.listopedia.tennisresorts_240815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cromlix, Dunblane, Scotland<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t get much closer to rubbing shoulders with the tennis champions than at Andy Murray\u2019s very own hotel. The small, luxury property sits outside of the town where Murray grew up and where he was recently married. As you\u2019d expect, there is a tennis court and tennis practice wall on the property, with professional coaching available, but it won\u2019t be Murray fixing up your serve. There\u2019s also archery, fishing, falconry and snooker on site.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Expedia La Quinta Resort\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club-A-Waldorf-Astoria-Resort.h10916.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.article.listopedia.tennisresorts_240815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La Quinta Resort &amp; Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Palm Springs America <\/a><\/h2>\n<p>With the Santa Rosa mountains in the background and a tennis court fringed by Palm Trees, this resort is classic Palm Springs.

Brush up on your backhand with former champion player Tom Gorman, who runs a year-round weekend clinic program with his USPTA-certified professional team.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Expedia St Regis Bahia Beach Resort\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Puerto-Rico-Island-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Bahia-Beach-Resort.h3800119.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.article.listopedia.tennisresorts_240815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico <\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Working up a sweat on the courts of this luxury five star hotel is well rewarded \u2013 court side lounge chairs, sweat towels and drinks are just all part of the St Regis service.

Pools, beach, spa, kids club and an 18-hole golf course can provide a few other distractions.<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/blog-img\/8_2015\/10012_20_HT' \/><\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Expedia Topnotch Resort\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Stowe-Hotels-Topnotch-Resort.h10591.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.article.listopedia.tennisresorts_240815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Topnotch Resort &amp; Spa, Vermont, America<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Tucked into the ski fields of Vermont, this sprawling estate is well known for its world-class tennis coaching program.
