What Could Have Attracted Former World’s No. 1 Tennis Player to Meeru Island?

Tuesday 5th of January 2021

Remember tennis legend Björn Borg? He is the former World’s No. 1 Tennis Player from Sweden and is the first male player to win five Wimbledon titles in the Open Era. He was described as a “rock 'n roll star draped in tennis clothes”. This star chose to take a break at no other place than the Maldives, at the stunning Meeru Island Resort & Spa.

The island features two tennis courts, equipped with lighting for night play. The all-weather play surface resembles the Australian Open centre court. If you’re looking to improve your serve, the resident Tennis Pro is available for lessons and play. Consider taking the resort’s All Inclusive Plus package to enjoy complimentary use of the tennis court, tennis rackets and tennis balls.

The idyllic island is perfect for the sport stars, both professionals and beginners. Surrounded by nothing but the blue waters and lush greenery, there’s no better place to break a sweat. Meeru provides a variety of sports facilities including lighted tennis courts, golf course (driving range, putting green and 9-hole pitch & putt), bicycle rental fitness center, beach volleyball, table tennis, billiards, darts, football field, Petanque, 2 Fresh Water Swimming Pool on the beach and a children’s wading pool.
