Better Tennis Project

The Vision

Luxury hospitality, elevated through the art of tennis.

FREDGIL Hotels exists to bring a structured, high-quality, and socially oriented tennis programme into the world's finest hotel environments. Through the FREDGIL Better Tennis Methodology, we create curated experiences designed not for professional athletes, but for guests who want to make tennis the highlight of a memorable day during their stay.

This is tennis as it should be experienced on holiday: refined, engaging, and effortlessly woven into the rhythm of luxury travel. Expert-led sessions, personalised attention, and a programme that complements the very best in hospitality, wellness, and lifestyle.

Our Methodology

The FREDGIL Better Tennis Methodology

The FREDGIL Better Tennis Methodology was developed through years of experience working with five-star international hotels around the world. It is a purpose-built framework for delivering premium tennis experiences within luxury hospitality settings, designed to feel as natural as a spa treatment or a private dining experience.

Unlike traditional coaching programmes, the methodology is built around the guest: their pace, their level, and their desire to enjoy something meaningful during their stay. Sessions are structured to be social, rewarding, and beautifully presented, whether a guest is stepping onto the court for the first time or returning to sharpen their game.

Every element, from the initial welcome to the on-court experience, is designed to integrate seamlessly with the hotel's broader wellness, dining, and lifestyle offerings, creating a unified experience that elevates the entire stay.

Flagship Destination

Ericeira, Portugal

Our first hotel partnerships begin in Ericeira, a historic fishing village and World Surfing Reserve on Portugal's Silver Coast. Just 35 minutes from Lisbon, Ericeira offers the perfect balance of coastal beauty, cultural authenticity, and world-class conditions for sport and relaxation.

Here, the FREDGIL Better Tennis Methodology comes to life in its purest form: expert-led sessions on sun-drenched courts, integrated with the coastal lifestyle that makes Portugal an unrivalled destination. Ericeira is the natural starting point for a hospitality concept that will expand to selected destinations across Portugal and beyond.
