Tennis legend Andy Murray has spent a family getaway at Jumeirah Vittaveli.

Murray, 31, was in the Maldives in November where he was seen relaxing and playing tennis on the beach at Jumeirah Vittaveli.

“We had an amazing time at Jumeirah Vittaveli and would like to thank all the staff that made our stay so special. The food was outstanding and we were able to relax, with a trip on the semi submarine where we explored the house reef and coral nurseries a highlight,” Murray said, after his vacation.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Murray is a three-time Grand Slam tournament winner, two-time Olympic champion, Davis Cup champion, winner of the 2016 ATP World Tour Finals, and former world No. 1.

He featured in Great Britain’s Davis Cup-winning team in 2015, going 11-0 in his matches (eight singles and three doubles) as they secured their first Davis Cup title since 1936.
