Don Carlos Marbella and Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, tennis in front of the sea

Since 1985, tennis has been an integral part of the DNA of Don Carlos Marbellaand today that legacy is being renewed with the incorporation of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centerthe first centre in Spain outside Mallorca to apply the official methodology developed by Rafa Nadal. This space combines high performance training with the Mediterranean charm of the hotel, open to the sea and the light, making Marbella a strategic point within the international network of the academy, present in Europe, America and Asia.

The centre's facilities include seven clay courts, two padel courts overlooking the Mediterranean, indoor and outdoor gymnasium with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, recovery areas and advanced technology such as the Wingfield System for performance analysis. All of this is complemented by an official Pro Shop, the exhibition of iconic Nadal trophies and Break Pointan informal space where you can enjoy a coffee, natural juice or healthy snack before or after your workout.

The methodology follows the four dimensions that accompanied Nadal throughout his career: technical, tactical, physical and mental. The direct connection with the central team in Mallorca guarantees training coherence and constant updating, allowing us to train both young talents and adult players under professional standards, in small groups that ensure personalised attention and continuous evolution.

Prepared to host international competitions and participate in ITF Masters Series tournaments, the centre reinforces Marbella's position as a sporting reference in southern Europe. Thus, Don Carlos Marbella is not only a historic Mediterranean hotel, but also a place where high-level tennis meets hospitality, wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
