Jumeirah Maldives, Olhahali Island
The Jumeirah Maldives gives a new meaning to the term, beachside tennis. Situated on Olhahali Island, a part of Maldives, Jumeirah is home to a number of fresh courts peppered around the island. Visualize clean skies, crisp sunlight, and a cool breeze ruffling your hair as you take your shot next to a pearlescent beach.
Palm trees line the perimeter of most of the courts on the island to provide just enough shade. Once you’ve had your fill playing the game, wind down with a glass of mojito or a freshly cut coconut and take in the sights.
Mürren, Switzerland
The town of Murren had the brilliant idea of placing a tennis court 5,400 ft. above the Lauterbrunnen Valley to offer players and fans alike, a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps. Those who fancy a good game of tennis on a brick-red court with snowcapped peaks in the distance will appreciate the mindset of the people of Murren.
This is one court where people might not be as inclined to keep their eyes on the game as watching the indomitable mountains behind it.
Burj Al Arab Helipad (Dubai, UAE)
The Emirati like to push the boundaries when it comes to innovation and flair. That’s exactly what the governing body for the famous Burj Al Arab did when they came up with the fanatical idea to place a tennis court at the top of their skyscraper.
Built originally as a helipad, the Burj Al Arab tennis court was a temporary installment to the building back in 2005 as the local officials invited Roger Federer and Andre Agassi for a friendly match atop the building.
Call it a marketing stunt if you may, but you have to admit the Middle East knows how to promote its works.
The Sheats-Goldstein Residence (Los Angeles, California)
Present at the John Lautner- a home designed and inaugurated by the NBA superfan James Goldstein, The Sheats is an infinity-edge tennis court that overlooks the Los Angeles skyline. The perimeter is lined with a glass partition for obvious reasons and the court itself is state of the art.
This tennis court has gone through a couple of reiterations, with the most recent one having been carried out in 2013, courtesy of Nicholson Architects.
La Cavalerie Club (Paris)
Situated on the top floor of the seven-story Art Deco building in Paris, La Cavalarie Club may be famous for a lot of things but the one that stands out, for us in particular, is its tennis court.
Designed by French architect R. Farradèche, this facility is an indoor court with a ceiling that allows light to pour in at an angle that illuminates the inside. A good game of tennis is sure to leave you stunned as each smack of the ball is guaranteed to echo and provide satisfaction to the player. Plus, the Eiffel Tower is only a couple of miles away from the building. Plays and views, together!
Il San Pietro di Positano (Amalfi Coast, Italy)
No matter how spick and span the court might be, it’s a challenge to keep your eyes on the ball while playing here. On one side, you have towering cliffs, and on the other, the crashing waves of the Mediterranean.
Apart from being a visual treat, traversing to the court presents itself as a hike for fans, getting their pre-match workout in before getting down to business.
