22nd June 2006
It�s that time of year again when the words �love,� �ace� and �doubles� are used in everyday vocabulary and Brits are found devouring endless supplies of strawberries and cream. No it�s not a romantic getaway it�s the crown jewel of tennis; the 2006 Wimbledon Championships.
So where will you be this year? If you�re not one of the lucky ones to get tickets to this year�s tournament then do not fear because Virgin Holidays is offering some fantastic getaways with tennis facilities which would make even the Williams sisters jealous!
The rain will not stop play in the Caribbean this summer so why not visit the Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua between 01 - 13 July 2006, with its four floodlight tennis courts you can spend a week all inclusive from just �1019 per person. Or if you prefer the island of Barbados, Virgin Holidays offers a week all inclusive at the Sandy Bay Beach Club from as little as �649 per adult.
For tennis enthusiasts who are really serious about perfecting their forehand, the five star Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Florida offers 12 tennis courts. Seven nights on a room only basis is from as little as �939 per person for departures between 01 - 13 July 2006.
If you would prefer to live like a tennis star rather than practice like one, why not head over to Las Vegas and stay at the Stratosphere tower. A three night break in this 1,19ft high building will certainly leave you feeling like your head is in the clouds, with prices from just �749 per person.
