VENUE
Paguera is a small coastal town in the beautiful region of Calviá boasting a clean, white, sandy beach on one side and lush mountain scenery on the other. The town enjoys one of the most beautiful coastlines on the island.

Swimming in this part of the Mediterranean in the crystal clear bays of Paguera is a delightful experience. Restaurants and cafés abound in a resort combining a beautiful, relaxed ambience with a feeling of “joie de vivre”.

Paguera is about 25 minutes’ drive from Palma airport and only 20 minutes from the fabulous city of Palma with its wonderful historic quarter and spectacular cathedral, its exciting range of restaurants and shops and, of course, the famous harbour and beach. If you are in the mood, the nightlife in Palma is an experience not to be missed. There are excellent bus links between Paguera and Palma and also metered taxis which are reasonably priced.

For those with quieter yet still adventurous tastes, there are many areas close to Paguera worthy of exploration. Along the coast is the glamorous port of Andratz with its romantic, candle-lit restaurants offering traditional Mallorquin cuisine and stunning views. Another harbour just 10 minutes away from Paguera is Puerto Portals also known as Portals Nous where one can dine by the water gazing at the most fabulous yachts on the island. Just a few minutes into the mountains behind Paguera are the idyllic mountain villages of Es Capdellà and Galilea. The short drive to these places offers some of the most beautiful mountain scenery imaginable. Other fascinating places to see are Sóller and its port Puerto de Sóller, Fornalutz, Deia and Banyalbufar. All are comfortably within reach by car. One other place of interest accessible by car is Porto Cristo which has a cave with the largest underground lake in Europe. A tour of the cave includes a trip in a rowing boat across part of the lake in an eerie silent darkness. If you prefer to stay put, you can swim, sunbathe, eat and drink at the tennis club or the hotel.

The coaching will take place at the Tennis Center Paguera. The club is just 5 minutes’ walk from either of our two chosen hotels. It is set in a tranquil location surrounded by pine forests and mountains and is just a short walk from the beach as well as numerous shops and restaurants. There are 15 clay courts with floodlights, two swimming pools, a restaurant overlooking the courts, tropical gardens and a pro shop.

OTHER AMENITIES
There are several attractive pay-as-you-go golf courses within easy reach and also a driving range for children. There is also go-karting, horse-riding and a great variety of water sports including scuba-diving for all ages. An
unforgettable day trip is to take the panoramic tourist train through vineyards and mountains from Palma to Sóller and back.
