Our Tennis Traveler’s Guide: Know Before You Hit the Court

Did you know that a full match can burn up to 600 calories an hour? But even casual rallies offer great exercise and a whole lot of fun—no pro-level skills are required to play this sport. 

Tennis is one of the most social and low-impact sports you can enjoy on vacation, making it a perfect activity for groups of all skill levels. 

Many of our AvantStay homes also feature multi-use courts that double for pickleball or basketball, so everyone in your group can get in on the action, no matter their sport of choice.

What to Pack for a Tennis Getaway:

  • Tennis Racket & Balls – While some homes may have equipment, we recommend bringing your own rackets and balls for comfort and consistency.
  • Non-Marking Tennis Shoes – These tennis shoes are usually required on most courts to protect the surface (and your ankles).
  • Athletic Apparel – Make sure to pack breathable fabrics, hats, and sweatbands go a long way in warmer destinations.
  • Sunscreen & Water Bottle – Do not forget sun and dehydration protection, especially if you’re headed to Coachella Valley, Palm Springs, or Arizona.
  • A Small Towel or Wristbands –  We all know the feeling of slimy hands. And with wristbands, it really helps for wiping off sweat between sets.
