Julia Searle Tennis Coaching

A few players in my group coaching programme suggested a tennis trip abroad so myself and Tom Clare have put together a trip to La Manga Club in Spain in September 2025. I hope that you will find the answers to all your questions about the trip here. 

When are we going?

The trip is from Thursday 18th September to Monday 22nd September 2025.

How much does the trip cost and when is the final payment due? 

Players who are paying for a bed (sharing a room) - total cost £510.

Players who are paying for their own room - total cost £710.

Players who are paying for tennis only - total cost £320.

All players have paid a £200 deposit, and the remaining balance is due to Julia Searle by 30th June 2025.

What's included in the price?

Airport transfers (for the above flights only), four nights accommodation, the tennis/padel/court time listed below, a welcome drink on the first day, and a La Manga Club Academy t-shirt.

How are we getting there?

All players are responsible for organising their own flights to the club. The closest airport is Murcia, followed by Alicante. I have arranged a transfer (both directions) for those travelling on the following flights. These transfers are included in your price. Those of you who are flying separately will be responsible for organising your own transfers.

Where are we going?

La Manga Racquets Club is part of La Manga Club. There are 22 tennis courts, 6 padel courts and 2 pickleball courts.

How much tennis will we play?

We have arranged for 8 hours of tennis coaching, a 90 minute padel coaching session, and 4 hours of court time where we will organise our own social tennis games. 

What are the apartments like?

We have booked 6 x Sunrise Apartments and 2 x La Quinta Club apartments. All apartments have 2 bedrooms. There is a sharerd pool at each of the apartments.

Who will I share with?

Sunrise 1 - Nicky, Jeanette

Sunrise 2 - Libby, Nick/Lou

Sunrise 3 - Keith/Roger, Andy

Sunrise 4 - Victoria/Ness, John

Sunrise 5 - Andy/Sue, Steph/Helen

Sunrise 6 - Adam/Julia, Jo/Steve

La Quinta 1 - Mike, Tom

La Quinta 2 - Chris, Tim

Other - Ann

What options are there for food and drink?

Food and drink is not included (apart from a welcome drink on Friday 1pm after our first tennis coaching session). The apartments are self-catering. There is a supermarket very close to the apartments (within 5 mins walk from sunrise, and approx 10 mins walk from La Quinta). As we will be arriving late on the Thursday (after the supermarket has closed for the day), we have provisionally booked a table for everyone at La Terrazza for 9.30pm on Thursday evening when we arrive. If our flight is delayed and this is not possible, I will be in touch with the tennis club, and will arrange for them to provide some essentials for us such as bread, milk, teabags so that we are able to eat something in our apartments that evening. We will also aim to eat together as a group on Monday (late lunch) before we fly home. For those of you who prefer to eat out rather than self-cater, there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars etc. all within a short walk of our apartments which are very centrally located.
