Private Tennis & Yoga Retreat on Bali's Uluwatu Cliffs

The retreat runs out of the Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu, a modern hotel perched on the cliffs above some of Bali's best-known beaches. Tennis sessions happen at Liga Tennis Academy in nearby Umalas/Canggu, which has covered courts — useful given Bali's tropical showers. The coaching is one-on-one with Jennifer, who played junior tennis for over a decade and has spent the last five years living in Bali, running Courtside Collective full-time.

A typical day starts around 7:30am with optional meditation, then breakfast at 8am — coffee, a meal, and a fresh juice or smoothie. The two-hour tennis session runs from 10am to noon. After lunch, you have a few hours free: pool time, a massage (two are included), a walk to the beach, or just a nap. At 4pm there's a fitness, yoga or Pilates class, and dinner is at 7pm.

Jennifer's coaching approach is practical. Past guests have mentioned video analysis of their strokes — you record yourself hitting forehands and backhands, then review the footage together and drill the corrections. Lots of repetition, clear feedback, measurable improvement. One reviewer said she and her boyfriend both felt a significant difference in their game by the end of the week.

The yoga and fitness sessions are add-ons to the tennis, not the main event. You can choose between general yoga styles (hatha, vinyasa, yin) or a fitness/Pilates session, depending on what your body needs that day. The recovery day pass — pool, sauna, steam room, ice bath — is a nice touch after several days of court work.

The retreat includes airport transfers both ways, so you don't need to organise anything beyond your flight. Jennifer and her team handle restaurant bookings, spa appointments, and any optional extras you want to add (surf lessons, waterfall trips, cooking classes). Reviews mention that the communication before and during the trip is excellent — everything is sorted, and you just follow the schedule.
