Located just a few minutes drive away from all our accommodation options, we are delighted to announce that our guests will now also be able to play tennis at the Montepiedra Sports Centre during their stay. This excellent venue boasts 3 all weather artificial grass tennis courts and 6 Padel tennis courts.
Head coach Gareth Pritchard runs social tennis and open coaching sessions throughout the week, costing just 3 Euros, per person, per hour. Alternatively if guests would simply like to play among themselves, courts can be hired for 12 Euros per hour (slightly more if playing at night under floodlight).

Gareth is now working in conjunction with David Ashwood, the resident coach at our other main tennis venue, The Orihuela Costa Resort. If guests would like any individual or small group coaching during their stay; or if visiting tennis clubs would like some competitive match play, we can work with Gareth and David in organising the required tennis itinerary.
The Inaugural Affordable Tennis Holiday (ATH) cup.
The Montepiedra Sports Centre recently played host to the Inaugural ATH Tennis cup. The event organised by Gareth and David involved local players competing alongside our guests from the David Lloyd Club in Enfield.
A total of 24 players took part in an American style tournament which saw partners rotate throughout a series of doubles round robin matches. After all the round robin matches had been completed, the four highest scoring players played off in a final series of doubles matches.
Many congratulations to the overall winners Ryan Wyatt from the Orihuela Costa and Shaun Matthias from the David Lloyd club Enfield; and an honourable mention to the runners up Tony Jordan and Mickey Ireland. For anybody fortunate enough to see the final the standard of play was outstanding throughout and the match was played in the very best sprit of the game.
Following the tournament, trophies were presented to both the winners and runners-up and a special presentation was made in honour of Eric Young who at the tender of age of 74 was named as most valuable player. Thanks to the generosity of fellow tennis player and local restaurant owner Rafael De Leo, Eric and his wife Anne will be enjoying a romantic meal for two at Mama Mia's restaurant on the Cabo Roig strip. A thoroughly enjoyable day for all concerned was rounded off with a meal at The Montepiedra Sports Centre restaurant.
