Luxury wellness retreat Sensei Porcupine Creek has announced a one-time-only, exclusive three-night tennis program for guests taking place April 25 to 28, in partnership with the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The program will be led by former professional tennis player Tommy Haas, who competed on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour for more than 20 years and earned 15 titles throughout his successful career, including reaching a World No. 2 ranking. Sensei Porcupine Creek, formerly a 230-acre private estate, was converted into an ultra-luxury wellbeing retreat complete with wellness and sports programming and world-class tennis facilities, including three courts that are built to match the professional courts of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and only available to retreat guests.
Guests will partake in a blend of Sensei’s existing wellness and tennis offerings, paired with specialty experiences available exclusively to guests of this program, complete with court time with Haas and team, including Sensei’s onsite tennis pro, Caroline Vis, herself a successful former pro and Wimbledon semi-finalist; exclusive access behind the scenes at the renowned Indian Wells Tennis Garden. It is home to the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament and provides a chance to play where the pros play in the 16,100-seat Stadium 1.
“For the first time ever, Sensei Porcupine Creek’s formerly private professional-grade tennis facilities are now open to guests, offering unique tennis experiences for all levels of play,” says Julie Oliff, general manager at Sensei Porcupine Creek. “We’re thrilled to offer this program that goes far beyond a typical tennis clinic, to help guests refine their skills through the help of best-in-class professionals such as Tommy Haas and our own Caroline Vis.”
Package rates begin at $12,620 per guest for accommodations in the Estate House, or for those looking for a built-in doubles group or an active couple’s getaway, two-bedroom villas start at $14,250 per guest and four-bedroom villas start at $13,315 per guest.
