About Barcelona Tennis Holidays
Felix as captain of Emilio Sanchez's team
​My name is Félix Riba, and I was born in Sabadell, just outside of Barcelona. I started playing tennis at the age of 13 and quickly fell in love with the game. After competing for my hometown club and representing Spain in the cadet and junior national teams—becoming a European Champion—I transitioned into coaching at 18.
Over the years, I’ve coached players of all ages and levels, from beginners to national champions. At 21, I took on the responsibility of managing Sabadell Tennis Club, where I oversaw the training of more than 200 players. This experience gave me a deep understanding of how to structure tennis programs that are both fun and effective.
Later, I founded Catalunya Tennis Academy, which continues to train high-level players today. As we grew, many coaches from around the world started reaching out to organize group trips to Barcelona. That growing demand inspired the launch of Barcelona Tennis Holidays.
​
For the past 21 years, we’ve helped travelers from across the globe organize unforgettable tennis vacations in Barcelona. Whether you’re traveling solo, with your family, or as part of a group or tennis club, our mission is to create custom packages that include coaching, courts, accommodation, and everything else you need — even if you bring your own coach.
​
Barcelona Tennis Holidays is more than just a travel service. It’s a project born from passion, experience, and a love for tennis and the city of Barcelona.
