Ali Bey Club Manavgat – Side, Turkey

Ali Bey Club Manavgat is tennis heaven disguised as an all-inclusive seaside village. Encircling palm-lined pools and a kilometre of sand sits the world’s largest clay-court complex: sixty-one meticulously groomed courts, ten under LED floodlights and a 1 200-seat stadium centre-court that each October hosts the ITF Masters Open and other federation events. Resident Patricio Travel coaches run daily biomechanics workshops, junior academies and cardio-tennis blasts, while demo frames and on-site stringers remove every barrier between guest and rally.

Beyond the baseline the resort hums with multisport energy. An archery range introduces instinctive shooting, beach-volleyball pits ignite sunset tournaments and a fitness park combines kettlebell rigs, TRX frames and spinning bikes beneath shade sails. The Samara Spa provides hammam scrubs, ice fountains and post-match myofascial release; its open-air Bali cabanas perch just metres from the surf so athletes can alternate cold-water immersion with eucalyptus-steam recovery laps. Water-lovers borrow SUPs and kayaks for shoreline circuits or join a PADI discover-scuba class at the dive hut.

Families benefit from Turkey’s largest resort aqua park: 25 slides, a surf machine and a lazy river generate cardio without the stopwatch, while kids’ clubs deliver mini-tennis and climbing nets. Nutrition mirrors the activity list—Mediterranean buffet islands label macros, a beach grill serves protein-dense kebabs, and fresh-pressed beetroot-ginger shots appear courtside during tournament weeks. Evenings shift to two amphitheatre stages for live bands or to the silent-pool deck for star-gazing yoga, before guests retire to bungalow-style rooms insulated by mature palms and gigabit Wi-Fi. Wake-up calls are optional—most guests rise naturally for the 07:30 ball-machine slot they booked on the resort app, eager to chase sunrise winners across pristine red dirt.
