Guillermo Vilas Tennis Academy
Palmanova, Majorca, Spain
By Roger Cox, Editor
The newest addition to the ever denser cluster of tennis resorts and camps in Mediterranean Spain is the Vilas Tennis Academy. Guillermo Vilas is of course the Argentinian winner of four Grand Slams, one Masters, and more than 80 ATP singles and doubles titles. He has hand-picked the coaches for his academy, a complex of 13 red-clay and hard courts a few hundred yards from the Mediterranean.
For adults, the academy runs a year-round, five-day program consisting of two hours of clinics in the morning and two hours of match play in the afternoon, supplemented by fitness training. On the website, you'll find this listed under the heading "Tennis Holidays,", though details there are sketchy, other than to indicate that campers stay in an Iberostar hotel.
Vilas himself plans to live part of the year on Majorca. He'll work mainly with the High Performance juniors, but as an adult you may run into him on campus.

Here's what others have had to say about Guillermo Vilas Tennis Academy.
-
"I attended the adult camp whilst on holiday in Palma Nova. The academy was within a minutes walk from my family's holiday appartment. I booked in for three days from 9-11pm. I could have played in the early evening but family commitments meant I did not avail myself of this service.
The morning camp was of groups of 2/3 and the format was to move coaches every 30 minutes so that you had four coaches per day who concentrated on some aspect of tennis. You were exposed to a variety of coaching styles in a short period of time. The coaches were professional and gave good feedback. I enjoyed the camp and was glad to get a hit on holiday"—J.B., Int., July 2018
