Game, Set, Stay: Wimbledon-Inspired Stays with Tennis Courts

As Wimbledon fever returns, we are serving up a curated collection of stays across the UK and Europe that offer guests their very own centre court, adding a touch of SW19 to summer getaways.

It comes as racket sports continue to surge in popularity, with adult participation in tennis reaching a record high, and trends such as #tenniscore continuing to dominate social media – amassing more than 800,000 views and counting.* At the same time, travellers are increasingly seeking active escapes, with Nature and Outdoor activities ranking among Airbnb’s most-booked Experience categories for UK guests in 2026.**

Whether inspired by Wimbledon or simply looking for a more active escape this summer, Airbnb’s collection of stays offers guests the chance to serve, rally and unwind in style. Better yet, these stays prove that a private tennis-court holiday doesn’t have to come with a championship-sized price tag, with UK countryside retreats available for under £50 per person per night this July, to picturesque cottages nestled in the Belgian countryside, available for less than £60 per person, per night in the same month.

For those looking to relax and recharge after a day on the courts, Airbnb Experiences and Services can also help travellers unwind like a pro tennis player, offering everything from a yoga class with an acclaimed wellness coach to a deep-tissue massage.
