If there’s one way to perfect your serve or forehand, it’s by training with one of the world’s best tennis players. You can do exactly that at the One&Only Palmilla in Los CabosMexico this December.

The five-star resort has teamed up with LUX Tennis to create an exclusive training camp with tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz. The Spanish superstar, who is currently ranked World No. 2., has already notched four Masters 1000 titles, two Grand Slam victories, and 12 ATP Tour-level singles titles in his relatively short career. Billed as the future of men’s tennis, the 20-year-old has defeated legends Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, too. He should have plenty of good pointers, then.

Alcaraz will take to the resort’s courts on Saturday, December 2 to play select hotel guests. You can book a spot in a group session or schedule a 30-minute private session. If you opt for the latter, additional guests can join for an extra fee but there can only be three players per private session. After sweating it out on the court, all players will be invited to an intimate meet and greet with Alcaraz at the resort’s picturesque Agua Bar. Refreshing cocktails will be served, of course.

“I’m always thrilled at the opportunity to share my craft with others, so I very much look forward to hitting the courts for an incredible session at One&Only Palmilla,” Alcaraz said in a statement. “Exploring my passion while discovering such a special place in Los Cabos, surrounded by blue skies and the azure sea, is a dream.”
