Seaside Finolhu i partnerskap med LUX Tennis

Medan Seaside Finolhu nyligen avslutade en omfattande omvandlingsprocess som kommer att accentuera dess image som en designledd lyxdestination, behåller resorten ett orubbligt engagemang för sin väletablerade karaktär som en lekplats på ön. Detta underströks nyligen när den maldiviska resorten tillkännagav ett spännande nytt partnerskap där LUX Tennis kommer att övervaka coachingprogram och alla andra tennisrelaterade aktiviteter på Finolhu.

The splashes of vibrant colours and bold shapes of Finolhu’s new Kaleidoscope design concept have been carefully chosen not only to emphasise an aesthetic style but also to highlight the fun and playful nature of the resort. From diving and fishing to tennis and even a state-of-the-art indoor golf studio, Finolhu offers its fun-loving and adventurous guests a wide selection of activities to keep them entertained. To ensure it delivers the finest experience possible, Finolhu has also initiated a number of strategic partnerships and now tennis lovers of all playing levels can enjoy world-class coaching and personalised tennis programmes at the resort thanks to Finolhu’s newest partnership with internationally-renowned tennis coaching specialists LUX Tennis.

LUX tennis grundades i Spanien 2017 och är specialiserat på att hantera tennisrelaterade aktiviteter och tillhandahålla skräddarsydda coachningsprogram på lyxresorter runt om i världen. Genom att kombinera lång erfarenhet av professionell tenniscoachning med ett engagemang för att förstå varje spelares specifika behov, fokuserar LUX tennis på roliga aktiviteter utformade för att utmana seriösa spelare och se till att nykomlingar utvecklar en livslång kärlek till spelet. Med sina mycket erfarna tränare på nuvarande eller tidigare ATP-nivå kan LUX Tennis skräddarsy sina program för att passa nybörjare som överväger att börja spela, amatörer som vill förbättra sina färdigheter eller seriösa spelare som vill tävla i turneringar.

Genom sitt partnerskap med LUX Tennis, Finolhu is offering a choice of tailored tennis coaching, practice programmes and fun events designed to inspire and challenge guests of all ages and abilities to improve their skill set during their holidays. Whether looking for intensive coaching or just wanting to pick up some new techniques, guests can choose to join private one-on-one or group sessions with a professional coach, while LUX Tennis will also be providing a choice of fun-filled clinics, games, exhibition events and tournaments on Finolhu’s palm-fringed court.

All tennis-related activities on Finolhu will be overseen by LUX Tennis’s assigned coach, John Zibin. A native of Canada, John speaks English, Spanish and Italian. His tennis career includes playing for the Brock University Varsity Tennis Team, while he is also an Ontario Tennis Association Rookie Tour Champion and an Intercounty Tennis Association Champion. John’s professional coaching career dates back to 2009 and includes experience as a Certified Tennis Instructor at Davisville Tennis Club and Parkway Valley Tennis Club of the North York Tennis Association, Toronto, Canada.

Speaking about his role in the partnership between Finolhu and LUX Tennis, John expressed his feeling that it is an extremely good fit for both parties. “With LUX Tennis offering a top-class tennis programme and Finolhu offering top-class guest service, visitors are in for a treat and should expect nothing short of a wonderful experience both on and off the court,” said John. “I am definitely looking forward to seeing smiling faces and satisfied families.”

Om Seaside Collection:
The Seaside Hotels Chain grundades 1969 av Theo Gerlach som gav sig ut med idén att bygga hotell där han själv skulle älska att tillbringa tid. Detta resulterade i tillväxten av unika hotell där lyx hyllas på ett diskret, avslappnat sätt. Femtio år senare har varumärket nu elva boutiquefastigheter, belägna i Tyskland, Kanarieöarna och Maldiverna. Vart och ett av de elva fyra- och femstjärniga hotellen kännetecknas av sitt exklusiva läge, individuella arkitektur, högkvalitativa förvaltning, utmärkt gastronomi och passionerad gästfrihet.

Från och med juni 2019 började Seaside Hotels att fungera som Seaside Collection. Den nya varumärkesimagen Seaside Collection och sjöhästsemblemet fungerar som en symbol för kvalitet som kapslar in individualiteten hos hotellen i samlingen. Mer information om både stads- och resorthotell finns på
