Romance on the Courts-Three Valentines Tennis Destinations

In our tennis circle, there are many couples, including my partner and myself, who met on the tennis court. Tennis continues to be one of the places where we are happiest, and there’s nothing we like more than taking our game on the road.  Here are three destinations that we would consider perfect for a romantic tennis getaway.

#1 Koh Chang Island, Thailand

We  managed to find one tennis club on this tropical island paradise. The Koh Chang Tennis Club is well maintained, lit for night play and very reasonably priced. It’s located in central Khlong Proa on the west coast of Thailand’s second largest island.
The staff is very friendly and they can provide you with racquets, balls and cold towels if you need.  Give them a call to make a reservation, or have your hotel front desk arrange it for you.  Koh Chang Tennis Club is open from 0700 to 2200 everyday.

Call them at 084-892-6992 or email at a7lek@mail.ru

What To Do After Tennis on Koh Chang Island

 Motorcycle Trip around the island. We rented a motorcycle and toured this island that is lined with white sand beaches.  After tennis, we hung out at a little roadside Thai restaurant, cooled off and enjoyed some hot Thai cuisine.  Then we hit the open road (a narrow windy one) and took a look at the island’s west shore.  A beautiful national park offers some spectacular viewpoints and Lonely Beach almost at the end of the road attracts hippies, backpackers and those who want the no-frills Thai beach experience.  We hung out there, taking in the unbelievable view while enjoying cool beverages on the lay-down ocean front deck.

Where We Stayed in Koh Chang Thailand-Chai Chet Resort

We stayed at the Chai Chet Resort, about 4 kilometres to the south of the courts. An elegant and reasonably price resort overlooking the bay and a large stretch of white sandy beach. All down the beach are cottages and hotels.  At night you can stroll down there and check out the action at different beach restaurants and bars.  We took in a fire show with dinner one night.
The staff at the Chai Chet is very helpful and welcoming.  The pool is amazing, not to mention the swim-up bar.  It’s a great place to enjoy a cool Chang Beer after a hot tennis workout.
Our sea-view room was very nice with an unique bathroom and shower that had the effect of a rocky stream running through it.

#3 Key West Florida Bay View Tennis Courts

You’ll never forget playing tennis at Bay View in Key West.  Like everything else in this unique tip of the United States, it seems to have a flavor of its own.  There are a group of regular Key Westers and guests, and a sign up sheet to get on these free courts.  They make
you feel very welcome, and after a few rounds of tennis, you can see why some people choose never to leave.  The facility also has five courts that are lit for night play.

What to Do After Playing Tennis at Bay View Key West Tennis Courts-Celebrate a Key West Sunset

The sunset is a reason for celebration every night in Key West.  Once you’ve seen one, you’ll understand why.  The city’s Mallory Square sets the stage for the sun’s always dazzling exit from the day over the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting the solar spectacle with art and street performers, all watched by thousands of people.

Where to Stay near Bay View Tennis Courts in Key West-Boyd’s Campground

The most laid back way to stay in Key West has to be camping.  This southernmost tip of the continental United States is only about 90 miles from Cuba and shares with it a balmy climate that makes sleeping outdoors comfortable most of the year.  Boyd’s Campground is an interesting mix of snowbirds, young campers, regular  folks who have Key West on their itineraries, and even tennis players.  Besides being on the ocean, the campground has a great pool that is one of the social centers of the resort.
