Algarve Tennis & Fitness Club: Tennis, Padel, Fitness Classes and Treatments in Almancil

Algarve Tennis & Fitness Club opened in May 2015 as a year-round sports and wellness facility on Estrada Vale do Lobo, five minutes from the beach in the Golden Triangle between Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Almancil. Director Soren Hojbjerg has run the club since day one, building a multi-disciplinary team that covers tennis, padel, group fitness and traditional Chinese medicine under one roof.

Tennis programme

Eight courts host private lessons, social tennis, junior coaching from age four, and ITF and Inter-club tournament play. The team is led by Soren Hojbjerg (PTR Level 3, currently completing a Masters in tennis) and Yuriy Yudin (20 years coaching, ex-Ukraine), with Bruno Abelho heading sports technical direction. Equipment hire, holiday camps and competition training run year-round.
