Disclosure
Jade Peak writes about places, experiences, and the people behind them, so hotels, operators, and companies come up often. We have no financial relationship with any entity named in this article. If that ever changes, we'll say so plainly, right here at the top.
The second half of the series. Same rule as part one: courts worth the trip. Five more.
Hacienda de la Paz, Rolling Hills, California
Under this Los Angeles mansion sits a subterranean tennis court, sunk into the hillside and lit through a domed skylight. It's said to be the only private underground court of its kind.
Domaine des Étangs, Massignac, France
This château estate built its court on a platform in the middle of the pond. You reach it by a walkway, and the water sits right at the edge of the baseline.
The Sportchalet, Mürren, Switzerland
Mürren is car-free and sits at 1,638 metres, reached only by cable car. Its outdoor court looks across the Lauterbrunnen valley to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
The Pacific Club, Hong Kong
A private members' club in Kowloon with five courts, three open-air and two indoors, a few floors above one of the densest cities on earth. Proof that a good court can hide in plain sight downtown.
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc , Cap d'Antibes, France
Five clay courts sit beneath Aleppo pines, palms and olive trees in the grounds of one of the Riviera's most storied hotels, out on the tip of Cap d'Antibes. A coach is on hand, and the sea is a short walk down through the gardens.
