Tennis in Paradise

Following its relaunch in October, intimate Maldives hideaway, Huvafen Fushi has revealed its revamped multipurpose tennis and sports court for tennis lovers looking to practice and play amid a dreamlike paradise.

Situated at the resort’s famed Stingray Beach with interrupted views of the Indian Ocean, the artificial grass court will be open daily, allowing guests to perfect their forehand or footwork from dusk till dawn. Private lessons with the resort’s resident tennis pros are also available on request, from US$60 per person for a 30-minute individual session or from US$195 per couple for 60-minute couples/group lessons. Made from FIFA-approved 22mm polypropylene, the court is also suitable for volleyball, badminton and football.
