It would be difficult to find a more luxurious setting than Carmel Valley. Add gourmet meals, lavish accommodations and a resort dedicated to tennis and you may have discovered the perfect vacation spot. Make your reservations for a two-, three- or five-day clinic but remember to factor in some free time to explore scenic Carmel-by-the-Sea, visit one of the many nearby wineries or play tourist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This is more than a tennis camp, this is an vacation dream come true. Click here for more information on the resort.
