BEST OF THE REST


E Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco: For clients after a hiking adventure away from it all, suggest this adult-only Virgin Limited Edition retreat, where mule trekking, golf and tennis are all on offer in the heart of the Atlas Mountains.


E Oblu Select at Sangeli, Maldives: While the main island here is family-oriented, the smaller One Banyan isle is adult-only. Activities span diving, snorkelling, kayaking and more, with fitness classes for guests wanting to work up a sweat before indulging in the Maldivian delicacies.


E Sandals Ocho Rios, Jamaica: It’s hard to beat Sandals on the activity front. For an especially sporty retreat, suggest Ocho Rios, where guests enjoy compli- mentary green fees at the nearby Sandals Golf & Country Club, alongside windsurfing, snorkelling, tennis and rock climbing.

IN YOUR COURT If it’s tennis that gets the heart pumping, look to the adult-only TRS Coral Hotel, which adjoins the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, just outside Cancun.

There’s everything from one-hour classes to seven-day intensive camps here, with eight clay tennis courts, a football pitch, paddle court and gym among its state-of-the-art offerings. Tennis fans will find more to play with over in Jamaica, where Caribtours recommends Couples Swept Away, set on Negril’s iconic Seven Mile Beach. The resort boasts 10 hard and clay courts, with pros providing clinics for all levels, and daily tournaments on hand for those wanting to get competitive. As well as tennis facilities, there are racquetball courts, a jogging track, a 25-metre pool and a fitness centre, all set on an impressive 10-acre sports complex that lays claim to being the biggest on the island, luring fitness-focused couples from far and wide. Beyond that you’ll find dance classes, nature walks, watersports and plenty more; there’s no getting bored here.
