Kuredu Resort Maldives has welcomed Tereza Švecová as its new resident tennis coach.

Švecová joined the Kuredu team under the resort’s recent partnership with Recreational Tennis Coaching (RTC).

She is available for group and private lessons for those wanting to add something a little bit different to their Maldives holiday. Free taster sessions are also offered on Tuesday evenings (5-5.30pm) for children and Thursdays (5-5.30pm) for adults.

Originally from the Czech Republic, Tereza has worked all around Europe as a tennis coach as well as competing at both junior and adult level in national and international tournaments. Inspired by her idol Kim Clijsters, she is always working hard, perfecting her technique and wanting to bring the enjoyment of the game to others.

RTC offers you the chance to join three levels of courses. These 10-hour courses are perfect for those wanting to discover the game or are looking at building on their pre-existing experiences. Players who are already at an advanced level can benefit from the RTC masters course, or the speciality course if there is a specific aspect of their game that they want to improve.

Located on a 1,800 metre by 325 metre remote island in the northern atoll of Lhaviyani, Kuredu is accessible by a 35-minute scenic seaplane flight from the main Velana International Airport. This 4.5-star resort has 383 rooms, including beach and water villas, making it the second largest resort in the Maldives.

The island boasts a dive and snorkel centre, a water sports centre, a spa, golf and tennis courses, a kids’ club, and an extensive choice of restaurants and bars. Kuredu guests can also dine in 5.8 Undersea Restaurant at the neighbouring Hurawalhi Maldives resort.
