Tennis holiday in Apulia with plenty of dolce vita

Right at the very bottom of the "heel" of Italy, in Apulia, lies the ROBINSON APULIA, which opens TennisTraveller from May 13th to October 28th, 2023. 9 tennis courts, it offers plenty of training and playing opportunities. And as you would expect from a ROBINSON Club, you'll find a perfect range of sporting activities, relaxation options, great entertainment, and delicious food.

 Hotel description

You can either fly to Brindisi (1.5-hour transfer) or to Bari (2.5-hour transfer) – the transfer to this club simply takes a bit longer, as you have to travel from the eastern to the western side of the heel of Italy. In sunny southern Italy, a 210,000 m² park-like club complex awaits you. Separated by a pine forest, the club is situated on the Ionian Sea and is ideal for tennis-loving families: the long, fine sandy beach slopes gently into the water, making it a perfect paddling pool for even the youngest children.

With 464 double and family rooms, the club isn't exactly small. But the club grounds as a whole are very large, so the nine two-story apartment blocks are well distributed and blend into the beautiful gardens. The rooms themselves are recently renovated, bright, and feature special eco-friendly flooring; each has either a small terrace or a balcony.

For families, the water park a dream: 1 large main pool, 3 heated children's pools with water slides and a heated baby pool - wonderful, every water lover, whether big or small, will find their fun here!

 Tennis

You can play on a total of 8 quartz clay courts – 4 of which are equipped with floodlights, so you can also play late into the evening. Court rental is included in the all-inclusive club membership, and you can borrow HEAD rackets free of charge. Guest tournaments, introductory offers, and a training program with a suitable course for everyone, whether individual or group training, are available. Individual training costs €45 per hour, and group training for four people costs €15 per person per hour. Special rates are available for children at the ROBY Tennis School.

 More sports offerings

Those who want to stick with racket sports can enjoy themselves on the two artificial turf padel courts with quartz sand and floodlights. At the club's own bike station, you can rent bikes and join a guided tour (for a fee). Or perhaps you're in the mood for a thrilling go-kart ride ? Then head to the go-kart track 3 km away. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, stay at the club and try your hand at archery.
At the water sports station, catamaran sailors, windsurfers, divers, and stand-up paddleboarders equipment and, if desired, a course, though both usually incur a fee.

With a variety of massage and beauty treatments, you can indulge in a wellness break to your heart's content. Spa packages are also available for booking.

 Catering

The club offers six restaurants and six bars . Let's start with the restaurants: the main restaurant with an outdoor terrace and wine bar, a beach and specialty restaurant "Trattoria," a specialty restaurant "KM O" in the pine forest, the adults-only specialty restaurant "Momenti," a pizzeria, and a children's restaurant. And the bars are spread throughout the entire club grounds, so you can enjoy a relaxed drink anywhere.

In general, ROBINSON clubs stand for all-inclusive catering - and at a high level . You can eat and drink here almost all day long - with a few special exceptions, drinks are included in the price. Since the club is a "feel-good" club, you will also be treated to special WellFood dishes and special drinks - all very healthy! And every 14 days there is the so-called "taste JAM" , where you are treated to burgers, beats and finger food - street food felling included.

 Vicinity

The nearest town, Torre San Giovannis, is 4 km away. You should definitely visit the fishing villages of Gallipollo and Santa Maria di Leuca , which are just under half an hour away by car. A little further afield is the baroque city of Lecce (65 km), which is well worth a visit. Or how about the snow-white hilltop town of Ostuni ? Or a boat trip with a swimming stop in the Ionian Sea caves ? The club offers various organized excursions. If you prefer something more independent, you can simply reserve a rental car through the club.
