its Europa 2 cruises, the course will be tailored to each person following an individual analysis, with Höfl-Riesch herself coming onboard for six departures in 2017 and 2018 to offer some first-hand insight.
w SPECIALIST CAMPS If enthusiasts want to improve in a specific sport, suggest a specialist training camp. Tennis fans have several options. For one-off intensive weeks, Mark Warner hosts a specialised programme for regular players at its Lakitira resort in Kos from September 13, and at its Levante Beach Resort in Rhodes on May 20 and October 7. Guests can expect 20 hours of on-court tennis with clinics and advice on tactics and match play, alongside a speed-serving competition and tournaments. In Bali, Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay will be offering an ongoing

International Tennis Programme featuring daily skills clinics, cardio workouts, personalised sessions and a junior tennis carnival for children. It’s being led by former tennis professional Katalin Bulcsu and there’s a new, international- standard hard court where players can get practising. Neilson, meanwhile, will
once again be running its Mark Petchey programme. Designed in collaboration with Andy Murray’s former coach, the course is aimed
at anyone looking to improve their skills with instructors trained by Petchey himself, who’ll be making an appearance at the new Alana Beachclub Paklenica in Croatia from June 10-17.
w ONE-OFF EVENTS If it’s cycling or triathlon training your clients are after, suggest the Almyra in Paphos, which offers bespoke weekly Triathlon and Biking Training Camps from November to April. They are targeted at those working towards an Olympic-distance triathlon, half ironman or similar, and who have already completed a triathlon. Open-water swims, pool diagnostic sessions, running sessions and road cycling on varied gradients are all incorporated, and for those wanting to focus solely on the cycling, there’s a bike centre offering courses and tours to
the scenic Akamas Peninsula. Of course, there’d be no point
in training without putting it to the test, and the resort is holding several events in partnership with other local hoteliers to give guests a chance to do just that. Among them there’s the Cyprus Marathon (every March) and the Pafos Triathlon (every April). It’s not the only resort getting
involved on the triathlon front. For those wanting to soak up some Caribbean sunshine while getting their run-swim-cycle on, suggest The Landings, the official race hotel for the Saint Lucia triathlon, which takes place on November 18. If the event itself isn’t a big enough draw, the pre-training week might be – it’s being hosted by Tom Daley, who will be leading masterclasses in the run-up to the race. There will be various other events during the
