Get over to the beach from 11am to 4pm on day 1 :) Can I collect my wristband if I get in after 4pm? You can collect your wristband at the beach, on the morning of day 2. To get into the first social, you will need to have a proof of ID and proof of ticket purchase. You will need a wristband on for all other activities!

If you have booked accommodation with us, the reception staff will check you into accommodation from the check in times stated earlier! If you arrive before check in, you can drop your stuff at your accommodation’s luggage storage, and head over to the beach!

A normal day would look like: Early morning yoga, training, an afternoon tournament, Centre court exhibition matches and a night out! We do have a fairly busy timetable with loads that you can do, but everything on there is optional, so feel free to skip some of the activities to chill, nurse a hangover, rest your body, or go explore the city.

Yes! We've timetabled in some chances for you to play some of the other sports!

Yes all food and drink is up to you guys :)

Unfortunately not. Each person will need to buy their tickets before they sell out.

Regarding cancellations, we have been running camps across Europe for 10 years and have never had to cancel (Other than Covid, where we let everyone know far in advance and everyone received full refunds). The only way Tour would be cancelled are in circumstances out of our control such as natural disasters. Portugal is a very low-risk area for something like that.

Not at all! We will allocate your training groups based on the information that you provide us in your online check in, and you can register for tournaments on the day.

You can hire equipment from us during the day of your camps for free! The only exception is renting Beach Tennis Paddles!

You can select an add-on option with your package! We also have a shop out in Portugal!

If you are a lone traveller, we can place you with others on the same week of Tour as you. You will be sharing in apartments of 3 - 4 people. We will try our best to place you with others from your university & sport however it is possible you will be placed with people from other universities or sports.

Yes! You will need to book your spot on Tour and pay your deposit the same as everyone else - if enough people buy tickets for you to earn yourself a free Tour (woohooo) we will refund your deposit :)

Nope! The price is the same for everyone but all of the activities are optional (although we recommend getting stuck in as much as possible ;))
