The month of June offers unrivalled opportunities to combine your love of spa treatments with your love of people hitting things across nets, riding thoroughbreds over the finish line, or whizzing round a racetrack.
World Number One tennis player Novak Djokovic will be returning to The Boodles grass-court tennis tournament as part of his preparations for Wimbledon this year. The Boodles will be held from 18 to 22 of June 2013 at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire (where they also have a lovely spa). In 2012, Djokovic took on Andy Murray in one of the most entertaining matches of the summer grass-court season.
Patricio Apey, tournament founder said: "We are very lucky that top players choose The Boodles to prepare their Wimbledon campaign. The players love coming because they know they get quality matches on great courts. The guests love the great food and hospitality that we put on at Stoke Park. We try to create a real English garden party atmosphere for everyone."
Stoke Park is a beautiful mansion with imposing views over the 350 acres of grounds and the greens of the golf course; a luxurious spa, elegant rooms and excellent food and service. If you're abandoned by your partner who'd like to mix up the tennis with some serious golfing, you'll be in seventh heaven.
