Everyday is all about releasing of dopamine that brings lot of joy by sweats and pushing own self boundary through all sort of exercises. Experience of staying in thanyapura formed by hotel and sports club, what made me extended the stay from one month to 2 months, is the courses and coaches in sports club. Whatever you are a beginner or a professional athlete, you can find something fit your own pace. All coaches there are professional and nice, they pay attention to your level and you can feel their warm welcoming to try to get people together to make everyone best benefit from the training. I appreciate and thank you for all the coaches, from yoga, fitness to tennis, Jay, Beer, Lawrence, Boy, Aek, Aum and Mike, particularly to the tennis coach Ball. He is the one encouraged me to move to participate in social match and clinic training from start up course. I joined some private sections with him and I found him very professional and passionated, he is not only teaching me the basic techniques but the strategies in the game play, which is very practical. His encouragement helps develop my interest in tennis that I called my 2nd months in thanyapura as tennis camp as I dedicated most of the time in tennis trainings and practicing. I look forward...

A world class health and fitness sanctuary, tucked away from the city. Great triathlon training, tennis, yoga, functional training classes led by phenomenal coaches - especially Arofhat, Madhu, Beer and Laurence. Many classes to choose from. Highly recommend the group rides in the mornings. Great place to meet health- conscious people. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Cleanliness can improve. Looking forward to staying longer next time. read less

It was seemless getting from Australia to Phuket.
Absolutely no issues and felt all very normal.
The weather was absolutely perfect every day which we did not expect in the rainy season.
The resort is in pristine condition and beautifully maintained even with all the past hell of Covid.
The staff are superb as usual and we could not have had a more wonderful time and will return in September! LOVE THANYAPURA!! read less

Relaxing and good for health This year finally managed to come to Thanyapura (postponed for 2 years because of COVID).... read moreThis year finally managed to come to Thanyapura (postponed for 2 years because of COVID). Let’s go step by step:
- staff is extremely helpful! Special big thanks to Pi and Kwan, they’ve made our stay smooth and unforgettable.
- rooms big, with everything needed (hairdryer, toiletries, slippers, bathrobe, safe). Though we stayed on the ground floor, we had no insects and mosquitoes in the room.
- wi-fi was good
- cleaning could be better (had to ask to clean the bedside tables).
- location is what you shall take into account. It can be disturbing when you’re staying for a long time, because when, let’s say, you are tired of the hotel food, or want to go to shops, or beaches, Everything is a bit far. Car strongly recommend. But on the other hand no crowds here, birds singing, don’t have to fight for a sunbed or food
- food. Because of covid the restaurant was closed, so we had only one cafe working, with limited choose of food (mostly vegan and vegetarian).
- sport. Limited activities (may be because of COVID) and not during the whole day, comparing to Club la Santa, but it was enough for us this time. Special thanks to Laurence and Dya (best Nidra in my life).
- free parking.

- good massage,

- free water refill.
Overall we are more than satisfied! Hope to be back! And thanks again! More read less

Coach Mike and his team run a unique tennis training environment with intense passion and high energy.

I am grateful to Coach Mike for inviting me to play in the Thailand Tennis Tour practice sessions. These sessions entailed carefully curated point-based drills that mimicked real-match situations followed by match play. I loved the constant instruction on strategies and stroke improvement that helped me succeed in matches. Overall, the sessions were a lot of fun and playing with various players with different strengths and weaknesses definitely improved my game.

Special thanks to Coach Sylvester for the hours he spent sparring one-to-one with me and for sharing high-level tennis tips during play.

The team also runs a daily kid’s tennis camp that my 5-year-old daughter attended and enjoyed thoroughly.

Mike and his team are dedicated to helping tennis players of all ages and levels reach their full potential and I would highly recommend this camp to anyone interested in improving their tennis.


Regards,
Shrey Singhvi read less

Not a typical Phuket resort with beach, pool , restaurants and resort type activties. Its for serious people who want to train or learn any sport, take care of their health and mind. Quiet environment and nothing around so focus is only on the resort activities. Very relaxing as well. Service is excellent and the team there is well experienced to provide good service to the visitors. Be prepared to sleep early here as there is no bar or restaurant open at night. read less

I booked 10 private sessions for her and 5 for myself, coach Aum did a great job in these sessions and get her to play with better form on her forehand and more spin and placement on her backhand, very pleased with the fix. I took lesson from Coach Silvestre , Aum and Ball, all with good energy and knowledge. The daily tennis clinic is also good for doubles play with players at different levels. Some are local enthusiasts who play 6 times a week. Another point the weather is so humid in Thailand just standing in the tennis you will have a good workout, I changed shirts at least 3 to 4 time daily.

Besides tennis, the daily dance,yoga,spinning sessions are great for my wife who wants to keep fit and relax her mind. Also excellent weight room and gym.

Will come back again to work on my fitness and tennis.

I've visited Thanyapura Sport & Health resort about 12 years ago, for the first time, and have been coming back ever since. The main attractions seem to be swimming and tennis but personally I come here for the perfect gym (biggest I've seen, ever) and spa facilities. Hotel also good with clean and spacious room and nice design that make for a solid 4*+ place overall, but it's not great, imho. Ah yes, the hotel pool and the surrounding areas is great, though. But people come here mostly for the sport and health clinic facilities, that attract top buck clients and Olympic-level athletes both. I found that group classes coaches like Coach Bear, Coach Jay are good, and (dr. Thomas from the States) is chiropractor is just epic (my lower back pain was gone after just 1 session). I love Thanyapura's haman & sauna with hot and cold plunge pools and the outdoor gym is def. worth visiting. Since I've moved to Thailand permanently, I've never seen a sport and health clinic that can compare, not in Phuket not anywhere. More read less

Tennis Coaches Incredible - Facilities Less So Pluses:

(1) if I could give 11/10 for the tennis staff, I would. For context, my family all plays tennis. I am a 4.0, my daughter is a 7.0 UTR US ranked player, and my wife is a beginner. We have been to Nadal Academy, Saddlebrook, Hilton Head, and train at Stanford so I think we have been spoiled with great coaching. We did not know what to expect when visiting this place. To my surprise, I think the 1:1 tennis coaching here was the best I have ever had at a resort. We booked private lessons every day for 10 days and it was totally worth it, esp when considering the value/price of 1:1 privates. Coach Sylvester, Coach Ball and Coach Aum were truly amazing coaches and each were able to span our levels and needs as players which is difficult. For the coaching alone I give this place a 11/10.

(2) Exceptional Staff - the hotel staff was universally helpful, kind and service oriented. They were always accommodating and helpful, whether figuring out laundry or finding a place to visit outside the hotel.

Minuses:
(1) Tennis courts had a leaking roof and most days the courts were wet due to heavy tropical rains. Mgmt needs to fix the roof, the gutter system and the drainage around the courts to ensure play isn’t affect. 5 star ITF coaches shouldn’t be busy mopping the courts, but coaches had a super awesome attitude helping to get the courts dry. Loved the coaching spirit to do whatever it takes.
(2) Air Conditioning System - the last day of our stay the A/C was broken throughout the main building. This is a must fix issue for a resort in Thailand. Spend the time to fix the A/C system. That said, the night manager did the best job he possible could so kudos to the night mgr for making the stay as comfortable as possible, given challenges and finding us an alternative solution.
(3) The resort feels like a 5 star facility but due to Covid and without enough occupancy, needed to reduce maintenance. I’m going to give them a pass since Covid has hit all Thailand very hard and they are trying their best. I hope they get back to full glory soon since we did love the tennis experience so much we’d come back for sure. read less

That being said, it is still rural Thailand, so if you are planning to go off campus for rides or runs, expect free range dogs.
Pricing of things on campus is similar to Western prices.
Much cheaper to go offsite for any supplies.
Staff are super friendly.
Facilities are world class. Gyms, pools, track ext.
Hire bikes have had a tough life. So reccomend bringing your own bike if you plan on doing any serious cycling.
Bring your own nutrition, eg gels and hydro tablets.
I'm short, for a team training camp, you will only do better if you are part of your country's national team. More read less

An unforgettable experience!! I’ve wanted to do some kind of fitness retreat for a few years. But... read moreI’ve wanted to do some kind of fitness retreat for a few years. But as I researched places I couldn’t seem to find something that appealed to my current interests. I wanted an international destination and access to tennis, swimming, yoga, and weight training. Most of what I found was either focused primarily on Yoga or on CrossFit style workouts. Both of which were not what I was looking for in a retreat.

When I stumbled upon Thanyapura I knew instantly that it was exactly what I had been searching for in a retreat. Thanyapura is a health and sports resort in Phuket, Thailand. They specialize in promoting an active lifestyle and optimizing your life. They have customizable fitness programs that you can build based on your individual interests. These include programs for triathlons, weight loss, and an exceptional tennis facility. They have daily group fitness classes such as spinning, core fitness, weight training, track workouts, yoga, Pilates, master swim classes, and outdoor cycling programs. Their health and wellness packages include a variety of nutrition and lifestyle improvement programs which are customized by a medical physician, certified nutritionist, and physical therapists.

I spent the last 12 days focusing on my tennis game with incredibly talented tennis coaches. My mornings were structured around a group tennis clinic or social match play and then individual tennis lessons. While each of the four tennis coaches were outstanding and helpful, I primarily worked with two coaches- Coach Ball and Coach Sylvester. These two especially helped bring my game to the next level. Not only did they give me exceptional coaching, but they made every single moment on the court memorable.

My afternoons involved a mix of resting, strength training, and watching world class athletes train in their sport. Occasionally I went back to the court to practice my serve or to attend a Tennis Cardio class. I met cyclists from Dubai who were training and rode an average of 100km a day! There were swimmers training for an international competition in Budapest, and then I met other American or European Expats here who were just playing tennis, like me! It was inspiring watch all the different athletes!

I can’t forget to also comment on the hotel and sports staff and their friendliness and professionalism. Everyone from the front desk support, the drivers, housekeeping, chefs, and maintenance were so welcoming and helpful. I was often greeted by name from everyone I interacted with and they provided me with everything I needed. I especially appreciated my two drivers who took me on a few day trips and even made an extra airport trip when I realized I left my iPad at the resort. The staff is without a doubt the best.

I could go on for days about how amazing Thanyapura is and how I had the best time. Without a doubt, I will definitely be back!!
