It’s game, set, match in the Maldives at Soneva Fushi this fall when tennis legend Daniil Medvedev takes up residence. The 2021 U.S. Open Champion player will be available for private coaching sessions and informal matches. Medvedev’s ever-growing list of awards include wins this year at the Rotterdam Open, Qatar Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Miami Open and Italian Open. He also reached the semifinals at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

The setting couldn’t be more ideal: This sustainable luxury resort in the Maldives’ Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve has both open-air and covered Olympic-sized tennis courts, as well as plenty of relaxing downtime options. Guests can swim in the glittering waters of Hanifaru Bay with manta rays, enjoy a sunset dolphin-watching cruise, indulge in a chef-prepared picnic on a desert island, zip line through the rain forest, or explore the resort’s sustainability philosophy on a SLOW LIFE Journey tour of the Eco Centro and organic gardens.

There’s even more coming up — all part of the resort’s stellar Soneva Stars programming. From Nov. 23 to Dec. 1, guests have the opportunity to sign up for sailing lessons aboard the Soneva in Aqua to learn the ropes from legendary British sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. And, Dec. 10 to 26, world-renowned football freestyler and current German champion Marcel Gurk will be on hand to conduct freestyling workshops for young players.
