Located in the renovated and exclusive facilities of Don Carlos Marbella, part of Selenta Group, the center will feature seven clay tennis courts, two paddle courts with stunning sea views, a Pro-shop with Nike and Babolat products, and an exhibition of some of the most iconic trophies from Rafa Nadal's career.

Commitment to sport

With this project, the Don Carlos Hotel reinforces its commitment to sport and wellness, consolidating itself as a reference destination on the Costa del Sol . Albert Tomás, CEO of Selenta Group, has highlighted the importance of this initiative: "The renovation of Don Carlos Marbella could not have a better introduction than this distinctive sports center, which completes our commitment to offering unique experiences both for the event client and for the vacation guest. The combination of our luxury facilities, high gastronomy, and the new Rafa Nadal Tennis Center will make Don Carlos Resort an unmatched destination for tennis lovers and quality tourism."

Meanwhile, Rafa Nadal has expressed his enthusiasm for the opening of this new center in such a privileged location : "I am very happy to officially announce the arrival of a new Rafa Nadal Tennis Center in Marbella, as it reinforces the expansion of our methodology within Spain. I am sure that sports enthusiasts will enjoy our programs and these magnificent facilities."

The Rafa Nadal Tennis Centers were born as an extension of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Mallorca, with the aim of offering tennis training in high-end resorts in key national and international destinations. In this case, the Don Carlos Hotel in Marbella will not only provide a top-level training space but will also complement the experience with its excellent gastronomic offering and its privileged location by the sea.

This new Rafa Nadal Tennis Center will be the fourth inaugurated by the tennis player , joining the successful centers in Costa Mujeres (Mexico), Sani (Greece), and Hong Kong. Its opening will coincide with the reopening of the hotel, consolidating Don Carlos Marbella as a benchmark in luxury sports tourism.
