After a hard day’s training tennis players are treated to a 25 minute sports massage in the 1,800 metre square spa, specially designed to relax the muscles used when playing the game. The spa also includes a seven station hammam, saunas and steam baths, relaxation areas with incredible mountain vistas, a Jacuzzi and a pilates studio.

Built in 1913, Gstaad Palace is set on a hill overlooking the beautiful town of Gstaad. The 104 rooms include 29 junior suites and the luxurious three-bedroom Penthouse Suite. Gstaad Palace offers gourmet dining in five different restaurants, live entertainment at two bars and dancing at

the GreenGo nightclub. It also features a spa and health club with an indoor and outdoor pool and squash court. A wide variety of activities such as golf, heli-skiing, hot-air-ballooning and many more are offered nearby the hotel.

For those wishing for their children to learn tennis this Summer, who better to teach them than a child champion himself, Mark Rosset, who was Number 4 in the world junior rankings in 1988. Groups of ten children, from seven to 18 years old, will then partake in an activity filled afternoon including swimming, climbing, river rafting and horse riding, all supervised by a team of professionals.
