The new vacation sweet spot? Designer courts, dreamy pools, and room for the whole group. Game, set, a match made in heaven—featuring the most stunning tennis spots around the world, paired with group-friendly fun like raw bars, plush cabanas, and parties that feel like Miami Vice meets The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. A summer of friendship, forehands, and cabana-side catch-ups? Just like the good old days (only now we book the resort). In 2025, activity-based travel is spiking. Family and friend groups aren’t just looking for a beach and a beach read, they’re booking doubles matches, chasing waterfalls, and making movement part of the memory.  Tennis is having a moment—and no, we’re not just talking about Miu Miu miniskirts (though they deserve a trophy). Racquets and retro country club culture, are having a renaissance. Not just in sport, but in fashion, travel, and the way we gather. With Challengers fueling fresh enthusiasm for the game, luxury resorts are responding by transforming their courts into destinations for world-class tournaments, exclusive events, and high-profile collaborations. Giorgio Armani and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts have set the standard with a global tennis series featuring icons like Venus Williams and Juan Martín del Potro, while Miu Miu Tennis Club has turned locations in New York City and Saint-Tropez into stylish hubs of sport and society. You’re officially invited to the Venue Report Sportsclub – Game, Set, Match Edition. We've found 53 venues where tennis whites are practically a dress code, pickleball is a social event, and golf comes with a side of vintage visors These are the places where backhands meet beach clubs, and cabana service follows the final set. Of course, the courts are just the beginning. We’re also serving up ideas for how to turn every post-game hang into an unforgettable group gathering. Think: retro racquet club vibes, post-match martini hours, and fun ideas that make every group hang feel like a scene from an old-school summer movie. 🎶✨Want to be all the way tuned in? We created a playlist that perfectly accompanies everything from poolside gossip, heated doubles matches, and late lunches at the country club that turn into party crashing. The BPM is set to the rhythm of a hard serve, scuffs on clay courts, slamming racquets. It's a Sports Club confection.

When you have a new team member, you hope you’re not only going to be great co-workers but possibly friends. How do you know if this new teammate is going to be a fit not only for the company but IRL? For starters, you could look at their wedding. When The Venue Report team found out our newest confidante was married mere months ago at one of our favorite San Diego venues, Rancho Valencia, our eyes lit up with excitement. Turns out, she’s a gal after our own hearts by styling her wedding full of cacti, lots of texture and the prettiest wash of neutrals you’ve ever seen.  We chatted with Alana about the day, her inspiration and her relationship that shaped this ultimate Southern California wedding. Guests sipped on local craft beer, had breakfast for dessert by way of gourmet donuts and took in the sun going down over the Pacific Ocean while they celebrated Alana and Brennan’s love. See how our newest work bestie got married in magical style, collaborated with some of our favorite event creatives and has one heckuva story to go along with it.  Photography by Aubree-Lynn Photography
