Racquetescapes
More than just tennis. This is an escape you’ll never forget.
At Racquet Escapes, we combine expert tennis coaching with incredible travel experiences to create holidays that are as fun off the court as they are on it. Whether you’re a competitive player or just looking to improve your game in the sun, our retreats offer the perfect balance of training, socialising, and relaxation.
Our trips are all about community, confidence, and connection. You’ll meet new people, share unforgettable moments, and come home feeling refreshed, recharged, and inspired—no matter your level of play.

Our Brand Story
Racquet Escapes is the brainchild of Warwickshire based Tennis coach and semi-professional Tennis player, James (better known to his peers and friends as ‘Jamie’) Taylor. A LTA level 4 coach and 2023 Team GB Men’s over 35 player.
From picking up his first racket at the tender age of 5, to competing for Berkshire county as a junior team player, Jamie has racked up the accolades during his impressive career having once ranked 62 in British Men’s Tennis.
With coaching experience developed from numerous well received tennis holidays for local clubs; creating our own brand of personalised tennis trips was an obvious decision. Since launching our first successful Escape to Portugal in 2024 we have expanded Racquet Escapes to include several more luxurious destinations including Greece and Turkey.
Our focus is to deliver the highest quality coaching from professionally qualified coaches in a friendly and relaxed format, followed by the freedom to join in organised social activities or do your own thing in the evenings.
With big plans in the works to expand to padel and explore even more fabulous destinations with you all, our team invites you to be a part of this exciting journey and join us on one of our upcoming trips.
Life is too short to not Escape!
