Challenge yourself to an exhilarating game of tennis at South Seas

Although the sport of tennis can be fun to watch, playing it is even better in the balmy island atmosphere of Captiva. Tennis players of all levels—social to competitive, beginner to professional―are welcome on the courts at South Seas Island Resort. And for those who never picked up a racket, lessons can easily be arranged.

The resort’s seven courts, coupled with tennis amenities, make for an ideal environment to hone one’s tennis skills—or simply have some fun. For those seeking to develop their game, a visit to the on-site Blackwood Tennis Academy is where you will find top-notch instructors. Clinics are designed to prepare players mentally and physically for the game and are offered at every level from first-timers to rated players. Customized training and detailed instruction focus on the student’s individual strengths and areas for development.

Those seeking a partner at their own level can work through the tennis concierge service to be paired with an appropriate player. Guests will find resurfaced courts, windscreens and court furniture, as well as a pro shop and stringing service.

To encourage players of all ages and levels to get out on the court, Nick Blackwood of Blackwood Tennis Academy has created family, league and camp packages at South Seas. “It’s a total tennis experience,” Blackwood says.
