If you are looking for a small, authentic, charming resort for your next Adult Tennis Holiday, then Daphnila Bay is perfect for you.
We love making the most of the generous all-inclusive board basis at Daphnila Bay. From Tanqueray gin and expertly brewed coffees (the iced caramel latte from the bar is a favourite!) to the delicious à la carte meals served in stunning settings - every detail adds to the experience. Paired with breathtaking views and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere, it’s the kind of place that turns a tennis holiday into a truly unforgettable escape.
A short walk up the hill in the resort takes you to the tennis centre - with a lovely decked area as a meeting point for our sessions. The courts themselves play well (they are Astro Turf) however can look a little 'murky' if there is rain.

Mandolato Beachside Bar
Set right on the shore, this is the go-to spot for a relaxed drink with your toes in the sand. With chilled music, comfortable seating, and cocktails served all day, it’s the ultimate post-match wind-down location.

Located on a homely hillside overlooking the Ionian Sea, Daphnila Bay Hotel offers a serene and scenic setting surrounded by pine and olive trees. The resort’s elevated location provides stunning sea views, with a private beach just a short stroll away.
Set within lush gardens and surrounded by tall pine trees, Daphnila Bay’s six well-maintained astro-turf tennis courts provide a peaceful and picturesque setting to play. Whether you’re in the middle of a high-energy coaching session or a friendly doubles match, the natural surroundings make it a joy to be on court.
Do note that the surface can become slightly dark or murky after rain, but it typically dries quickly thanks to the Mediterranean climate - so play rarely stops for long!
In addition to the tennis courts, the resort also features one padel court - perfect for those wanting to try something new or enjoy a fun, fast-paced game with friends.
Great coffee - We know that hotel coffee abroad can sometimes fall short of what you’re used to at home, but Daphnila Bay take pride in their coffee. We highly recommend trying the iced caramel latte – it’s our guests favourite!
Evenings at Daphnila Bay - Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with live music in the evenings. It's the perfect spot for unwinding after a day of tennis.
Explore the Local Area - Discover the beauty of Corfu with nearby beaches, the charming village of Dassia, and cultural sites like the Old Town of Corfu, just a short drive away.
Speedboat to Corfu Town - Take the water taxi from just outside Daphnila Bay directly into Corfu town to arrive in serious style!

We have just returned from a fabulous tennis break in Corfu. Active Away are first class from the original booking to the absolutely exceptional coaches. We were fortunate to have Jack, Harry and Jason. Every day was well planned, expertly communicated and above all FUN. The afternoon session match play was well planned to put into practice all we had learnt in the morning. Roll on the next Active Away break. Thank you so much!

Another fab week in Corfu with George and Chris. The tennis drills were really useful (lots of them so be ready to do lots of stretching/recovery work alongside!!) and match play fun. Both hosts really cared about making sure we all had a lovely experience on and off the court, which I appreciated. Active Away really have the tennis holiday format nailed!

I had a brilliant time at the Active Away all inclusive tennis holiday in Daphnila Bay, Corfu. Excellent coaching team, hosted by Alex Juniper & his team Ciaran Mould, Alex Rice & Peter Kasparek. 22.5 hours of coaching with drills in the morning & match play in the afternoon. There was plenty of down time to explore this beautiful town & enjoy the wonderful beaches & walks.This is also a perfect holiday for a tennis enthusiast travelling solo as everyone was friendly & inclusive. The host ensured everyone was integrated & although you may travel with a group, I had the opportunity to meet & play with people from other clubs.I highly recommend Active Away as they take all the stress out of booking a tennis break, communication & follow up is excellent from the Admin team. I will be booking again in the future👍

If you love playing tennis, you cannot do better than booking an Active Away Tennis holiday! Everything is organised incredibly well from beginning to end and nothing is too much trouble. We had never been on a holiday like it and were blown away by Matt, his incredible team of coaches - who also host - and all the other participants! We had a blast both on and off court and will definitely be back! Thank you all!! 🙂

A Wonderful Week in Corfu. We can’t thank Connor, Chris and their coaching team enough for our wonderful week of tennis. The coaching sessions were as entertaining as they were useful and we were often in stitches of laughter both on and off the court. A special thank you to Connor who was available 24/7 and brought such positive energy to the whole trip; excellent organisation and communication so that we could just relax knowing that all our meals and activities were organised; and bringing so much humour to every activity on and off court. We improved so much from the excellent coaching and are already planning our next Active Away clinic and holiday.

Active Away - game changers in every sense!! Before even packing my tennis racquet I felt this was going to be something very special - and my high expectations were spectacularly exceeded! The attention to detail and pre holiday information was clear and relevant . Already I felt part of a winning team. This positive vibe and inclusivity was a thread that ran through the whole holiday - way beyond play on the courts. The team organisation and approach was precise and professional and this translated to a very fun and friendly week. I can honestly say I have not had so much fun in a long time! The venue was superb, facilitating every need. Whether chilling by the pool ( which one? - decisions,decisions..) splashing in the sea, being pampered in the spa or even pumping those muscles in the gym - it’s all there for you. Whatever you did there was always a friendly face popping up - be it one of the many new friends I made that week, the coaches or even the main man Steve himself! Oh yes - the tennis! This was simply amazing. First Class coaches, keen, supportive, seemingly effortlessly effective at transforming our play. The structure of the week worked perfectly and couldn’t have been better. It’s no surprise Active Away holidays are so highly recommended - I will certainly be booking again!

Wonderful tennis holiday in Dassia , Corfu. Coaching great- thanks so much Chris, Matt, Alex and Luke. I have recently had a second hip replacement so was apprehensive as to how I would cope on court. I was given every support and reassurance to regain my confidence to play tennis again. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend Active Away.

Faultless on every level. Brilliant coaching that is adapted to each player and taught in a way that builds your technique with tactics embedded in each session so that it sticks when you leave. Glorious hotel, staff and facilities. A joy to be in the group for dinners and take time out on the beach. Steve has very high standards and delivers them with his team of coaches, the trip thoroughly deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Oh! And loved the added intro to Padel!

Daphnilla Bay Corfu 16-23 September 2023 I had the most amazing time away with Active Away. This was my first tennis trip and I absolutely loved the whole experience. The resort (Daphnilla Bay Corfu) was a perfect location. 20 mins from the airport by taxi/ mini bus transfer.The resort itself is beautiful. The tennis courts, pool ,beach and other facilities were all within a very short walking distance from the main building, which is ideal. The coaching team were fantastic with our group of 24, fun, very informative and I would highly recommend a trip with Active Away. Date of experience: 16 September 2022

This was our 4th Active Away holiday and I absolutely loved it. We got to meet a whole new bunch of fun tennis loving people making for great tennis and socialising. Before coming I was worried that I might find the coaching programme a bit repetitive but yet again I have learnt new things. I really felt my tennis improved over the week, but most of all I had a lot of fun. George, Jack, Ollie and Steve were excellent coaches and good fun to be around. I can’t wait for my next trip which I’ve already booked!

This is my third time away with this company. What brings me back is the quality of the coaching , the attention to detail from pre booking, communication and the actual week The venue was great with courts a very short walk away. The accommodation was good with all amenities on hand and friendly staff. Active Away have a genuine passion for tennis and their clients are their priority all week . The tennis is complemented by the social aspects of the group so that even as a single person it doesn't matter. The team leader and the coaches are on hand to give you recommendations for the day off and have the ability to make all standards welcome because of the research prior to the start of the holiday. I always come away having learned lots of tips, making new friends and thinking it was hard to top. So if you want a tennis holiday with the perfect balance of coaching, play and friendly socialising in a group then Active Away is perfect.

A 6 star ****** tennis holiday We have just enjoyed a fabulous week of great fun, tennis instruction and play in Corfu - more specifically 22.5hrs of coaching, doubles play and an end of week Active Away Cup Tournament curated by Jamie Murray MBE. The week was expertly and enthusiastically hosted by Steve Davies, founder and co-owner of Active Away, and his great team of Alex, Jack and Peter. All four coaches were excellent, delightful and complemented each other extremely well. They all worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the week was a success, both on and off the court, and could not have done more to help every player. My wife and I feel that tennis holidays do not get any better than this. This was our third one with Active Away and we’re going to book for two more with them next year. And special thanks to Steve 🙏 🙏. After a couple of private lessons he’s given me two new shots to come home with - the sliced backhand and backhand dropshot, so I’m delighted! If you're looking for a tennis holiday, don’t hesitate - just book with them now!!! David 🎾🎾🎾

Active Away just keeps getting better! I have just returned from my seventh holiday with this company and they continue to impress. The coaching drills are fun and great for all abilities. The 'Key Takeaways' provided after each day coaching are great as an aide memoir once home. The Hosts and coaching teams may differ from holiday to holiday, but their enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring you have a great holiday as well as improve your tennis, is a constant! I can't recommend them highly enough- whether you are on your own, as a couple or part of a group, Active Away will make sure you have a great week. You really do feel part of the 'Active Away Family' from the go get!

First time with Active Away but won’t be the last. Being new to tennis I was not quite sure what to expect but the coaching staff and organisation was fantastic. The week was a mixture of learning new doubles skills, drills and social competitions. All the learning we backed up with theory, practical drills and follow up notes. The hotel we stayed at in Corfu was exception with great service and enough free time scheduled to relax and enjoy the sun and beach.

This was my first trip with Active Away and I'd highly recommend it! The week was really well organised with an overall itinerary and daily details shared via WhatsApp to the group. The hosts and coaches (one coach per 6 people) had great personalities and were all really skilled and knowledgeable in the theory they were teaching and demonstrating. The days were a mix of theory, demos, drills, social and team competitive match play - all with an overriding sense of fun! The key 'take aways' from each day were reaffirmed and shared. It all exceeded my expectations and I will be booking with Active Away again!

This business is constantly improving and evolving based on feedback from their customers and they do everything to make your holiday enjoyable and memorable down to the finest detail. The tennis coaching is second to none. This week we were coached by Matt, Guy, Alex and George (and Chris unofficially but joined in as he was here, a great bonus for us!). My confidence improved and I learned new skills and tactics to up my game. A thoroughly fabulous week with a great group of like-minded people. Thanks Active Away, you nailed it

A fantastic week away . All aspects of the week away were well organised and the coaches catered for all tennis abilities . The social side was spot on and if you were travelling alone you would have no problem in making friends.

Just back from an Active Away week in Corfu at Daphnila Bay. Beautiful hotel, but apart from that, this is an extremely effective, well thought-out programme which has been fine-tuned over the years, and the host and coaches are absolutely magnificent at what they do. They manage to accommodate all levels of play, all personalities, singles, couples - all sorts - and keep them engaged and positive for a week while actually improving their tennis! My husband doesn't actually play but is still very much included in the group and thoroughly enjoys it. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Active Away for a really focused tennis-based week with a very inclusive social element.

Just back from the most amazing week with Active Away at the Daphnila Bay hotel in Corfu! Can’t wait to try out my new skills on court. First, but certainly not the last holiday with Active Away! Made fabulous new friendships and laughed every day, on and off court! Question now, which one to book for next year!

Just been on an Activeaway tennis week in Corfu. First class tennis, coaching and social life. Don’t worry about either your standard of tennis - they will make it better and can cope with all levels; and don’t worry about going on your own - you will come back with lots of friends! If you like tennis - Just do it!

I just had one week at Daphnila Bay and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hosts and hotel staff were incredible and it is one of the top 3 holidays I've ever experienced. The amount of court time is just perfect and the social doubles was both competitive but really good fun. The beach is amazing and I found it a nice relaxing place in between the morning and afternoon sessions. I would highly recommend Active Away if you want to improve your tennis, make friends and have a great week in the sun.

Absolutely the best holiday if you love tennis! Outstanding coaching to suit all levels, but it’s not just about the tennis, it’s so much more than that. Making new friends, having fun evenings together and relaxing in luxury hotels. I’ve had seven holidays with AA and they just keep getting better and better and I wouldn’t have thought that possible!

Our first time on holiday with active away could not have gone better. As relative tennis novices, we were made to feel so welcome and part of the group, and our tennis progressed enormously over the week. Hosting was fantastic, we felt like we made many new friends and look forward to returning next year for more tennis. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves tennis and who wants a holiday with a difference in a fantastic location with some great people. Thank you Josh, George and Alex ☺️

I wanted doubles strategy and match play with intermediate to advances players and that is what I got with bells on. Great host, excellent coaches and lovey people to hang with in a fantastic location.

Overall an amazing holiday! From the very start the experience was amazing, effective and easy booking process and great communication. We felt like we were in safe hands the whole time. The coaching went above and beyond my expectations, the hotel was amazing, accommodation, facilities, food and drink all truly 5*, the group was so friendly and coaches were great hosts. It has encouraged me to play more tennis so when I return next year I might just be able to win one of them water bottles. Thanks to all the team both at home and away, well done for putting on such a great program.

I have had a lovely week at Crete with Active Away. Accommodation at the Kalimera Kriti resort is very decent, catering are at good standard, view is stunning especially at sunset ! Active away is a very professional tennis holiday organiser and all their coaches are very friendly and experienced ! A BIG thank you to JOSH the partner of Active Away who has helped to postponed my flight ticket and sorted out my Covid pass just a few hours before I have to go to the airport at a Friday night ! All in all, with such a professional and strong team, I can foresee ACTIVE AWAY a very successful and bright future!

We had a great week of coaching with Steve and his team. My goodness they challenged us with amazing drills and entertained us with a fantastic quiz on a road trip we took due to rain eliminating any play for a day. I can see that people love Sani but there was a lot of very young children there so thank god for an adult only area for breakfast.

Our second time away with Active. They are by far the best tennis company we have ever used and we won’t go with anyone else. The whole company ethos stems from the top, with Steve’s obvious passion for helping people improve their tennis whilst enjoying the most wonderful hosting. Well done Active Away!

An outstanding week of tennis development and fun. Tennis coaching was excellent and the level of “in-the-moment” input was significantly ahead of other courses we have been on. The 24/7 energy from the coaches and gorgeous people on the course has made this a holiday to remember and repeat!

My husband (a non-player) and I have been on several Active Away tennis holidays and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. It would be reasonable to expect the coaching to be of a high standard, and it is, but what has greatly impressed us, apart from the coaching, is the friendly, professional and apparently tireless way the coaches interact with every single one of the guests throughout the week. All ages, all stages of tennis, they make every effort on the court and off it, to ensure that everyone integrates into the group, and nobody is left out. We are in our late 70s (!) and we find this level of social ease really exceptional. Every one of the team is clearly picked as much for this as for their coaching expertise. It adds up to a thoroughly relaxed and cheerful atmosphere throughout the week. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Active Away to anyone who likes to play tennis at any level. Singles, couples, groups - the hosts take everything in their stride and we've seen them do it time and again. Brilliant.

The most amazing holiday in a wonderful hotel. Everything was faultless from the hotel services, to the food and most importantly the tennis coaching. I would tell anyone not to hesitate booking with Activeaway.

Just returned from a great week of tennis in Corfu. It was amazing to be out there playing tennis again. ActiveAway did everything possible to ensure this holiday went ahead with incredible flexibility, good communication and clear advice during these challenging times. The hotel was great with super food and excellent service. But most of all the tennis was brilliant. The coaching as always was first rate with its focus on improving your doubles play, which it did! Already looking forward to the next trip to Turkey in October.
