Forte Village Resort

6 Essential Tennis Getaways in Europe

"Not far from Sardinia’s capital city of Cagliari, Forte Village is one of the most well-known summer resorts in Italy. Occupying 116 acres of prime seaside real estate doesn’t hurt. But Forte Village is also jam-packed with amenities and activities. The resort counts 10 different hotel concepts plus villas, which means regardless of your travel style and budget, you can likely find an accommodation setup that works for you. There’s also an expansive on-property wellness initiative that revolves around thermal bathing. And you’ll never go hungry or thirsty here: There are 21 restaurants and 14 bars. Sports and fitness are a major focus of the seasonal events calendar. Real Madrid Foundation coaches, for instance, trains young soccer players here during the summer. And you can also participate in a triathlon. For tennis, however, there are 13—12 clay and one hard—flood-lit courts for you to use. (That is when the resort isn’t hosting an official tournament.) And sometimes, legendary players like Pat Cash might even be on-hand to help take your game to the next level."
