We have teamed up with blogger and travel writer Charli Moore to provide you with an insider’s guide to our beautiful island’s activities and attractions. Here she talks to Leon Patchett, the Australian tennis pro at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

Rated as the number one tennis resort in the CARICOM by tennisresortsonline.com, the Four Seasons Resort Nevis boasts a comprehensive sports pavilion, spa, and fitness center that caters to a number of sporting pursuits. Offering a ‘stay and play’ tennis package to those keen to hit the court during their time on the island, the six hard courts (one with bleachers), and four red-clay courts that sit adjacent to the sports pavilion provide ample opportunity. Five of the ten courts also have flood lights.

Leon, can you tell me about the tennis lessons and clinics offered at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis?
“Both external guests and guests of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis can join us here on the court for private and group lessons. An hourly rate of US$120 plus an additional US$15 for each additional player applies. Guests staying at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis can also take advantage of the complimentary clinics offered Monday through Friday each week. From drill workouts to doubles strategy and even a kids’ clinic, there’s something for everyone.”

What facilities do you have for single tennis players?
“If you’re visiting the island without a tennis partner it’s not a problem. Come down and book in for a lesson, or simply book a court and hit some balls. We have a ball machine so you’ll soon work up a sweat thanks to the never ending rally it provides! We also offer a player match-up service so that individuals wanting to play tennis on Nevis can book a court and play a competitive game should they wish.”
