My husband and I returned to Ikos Aria in October for a 2nd Active Away holiday. We had enjoyed the previous year's holiday so much that we returned with the same 'team'. This year was even better, with fantastic coaching and great company. The Active Away team is passionate about ensuring everyone has the best experience - they work hard to get to know you and support your needs. My confidence has grown significantly on court from these holidays, and this is thanks to the Active Away team.

Active Away is a fantastic company. The coaches themselves are a real asset to the company - they bring the right level of passion, energy and fun to the court, to ensure those of all levels and ages have a great trip. It is no surprise the repeat booking % is as high as it is. I am v pleased I found the company last year and look forward to my third tennis trip in 2026!

This is absolutely the best tennis holiday you can do. Top quality coaching, fantastic group atmosphere, beautiful resort- and the food/drink was exceptional.

I absolutely loved every second of my tennis week. The resort was fabulous, with amazing staff—but of course, I came for the tennis, so that was just a bonus. I was completely out of my comfort zone. I was coming off an eight-week break due to a shoulder injury and definitely not match-fit. As someone relatively new to tennis, I knew my level was on the lower side and felt genuinely intimidated by what was ahead. But the three coaches were fantastic, each bringing their own strengths. George stood out with his organisation and clear explanations. Mike’s enthusiasm and genuine kindness made me feel welcome and valued. And Matt, with his perfectly delivered deadpan humour, kept us all smiling. By the end of day two, I honestly wanted to go home. But the encouragement I received kept me going—and by the end of the week, I’d been named Most Improved Player and felt confident playing even the strongest players in the group. I’m so proud of how far I came. From breakfast conversations to evening dinners, the group of 17 quickly felt like old friends. It was a brilliant experience with brilliant people. Would I recommend Active Away? Without hesitation—yes!

17 total strangers came together like a dispersed family with a shared tennis interest and the common desire to enjoy a memorable week. I am terminally ill. I can offer no greater compliment than to say that if this prove to have been my last holiday, it was worthy of being so. Great Coaches. Great Participants. Great Venue. Great Time.

This was my first tennis holiday and it totally exceeded all of my expectations. I loved every aspect of it. The tennis coaching was superb, the organization was very good and the balance of tennis and relaxation was great. Being a part of a group, playing tennis and coming together for meals etc was fantastic. The resort was beautiful and the fact that it was all inclusive made it very easy. The staff in the resort were extremely good. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be booking again. Thank you to everyone involved.

This was our first trip with Active Away. We came all the way from the west coast of the United States. It was worth the trip as the Active Away team handled all aspects of the trip seamlessly. We learned a lot about doubles strategy. The instruction was amazing and delivered with a high level of energy every day. Would definitely consider another trip.

We spent a week with George, Matt, Mike and a truly wonderrful group of fun people at Ikos Aria. It was a special week. It felt like an extended family event. A group of just 17. The boys offered a perfect mix of different personalities. George cared that everything ran smoothly. Mike cared that we all had a laugh and a great time. Matt cared about tormenting Mike for our amusement and sharing his amazing tennis talent. I'm so glad I spent this time with my wife in the company of these lovely people in this relaxing place playing tennis.It was all inclusive including the banter, camaraderie and care. I feel blessed.

Fantastic week at Ikos in Kos. The coaches Cam, Sam and Josh were simply brilliant, great transfer of knowledge and skills, felt i came away a much better player albeit with tired legs, but put that down to the dancing. Our fellow guests were delightful, fun and entertaining. Will definately return and can’t recommend highly enough.

The communication was good throughout the week and the coaches made every effort to ensure the week ran smoothly. Josh T, Owen and Josh P, aka ‘The Dream Team’, were fantastic - always so enthusiastic and positive. Although this was my second Active Away holiday, I learned so many more new skills and techniques which will help to enhance my doubles play. The coaches made an effort to challenge every member of the group, offering the right amount of support when needed. Most importantly, they were always fully engaged with the tennis and made the sessions so much fun. The time on the court flew by! The Ikos Aria hotel was perfect - great restaurants, beautifully kept grounds with stunning views. The staff were always so attentive and friendly. The Active Away holiday is definitely my most favourite holiday!!! Thank you Dream Team for making the week special.

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to go on numerous Active Away holidays, and without fail, we always find ourselves wanting to prolong our experience by a few more days. Andre Agassi said that “Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love – the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.” The coaches at Active Away truly excel in providing this kind of tennis understanding and experience. Not only will you have the most amazing week away, meeting new people who share your passion for the sport and enjoying the facilities of a top rated hotel in an idyllic destination, but you'll also return home with a newfound confidence, better prepared, more aware, and even more deeply in love with the sport of tennis.

Outstanding on all levels ! Active away create a coaching experience unlike any other. The expertise, the drills, the sense of community, and the resort location at Ikos Aria are all magnificent. You are working hard at tennis in the most fun, relaxed way imaginable. My tennis has genuinely improved within a week, in an incredibly energised, nurturing environment. Have already booked my next trip !

Yet another superb tennis holiday at Akos Aria in Kos. Josh and Harry were so positive and encouraging in the coaching sessions. They offered inspirational motivation all week. My doubles tennis play has definitely improved. It’s no surprise then that I’ve already booked another Active Away holiday for 2024!
