If you love watching great tennis, then the British Virgin Islands are the place to be in December 2012.

From December 9 to 13, Necker Island will play host to the 2012 Necker Cup, hosted by the island’s owner, Sir Richard Branson. This is the world’s most exclusive Pro-Am tournament, and amateurs can enjoy tennis in BVI and find themselves teamed up with Sir Branson himself.

The tennis stars coming will be announced soon. If you don’t make it into this tournament, but still want to play in the Virgin Island sunshine, you can also register for the Rosewood Little Dix Bay Legends Tennis Camp on Virgin Gorda, which is being held at the same time.  This camp is being hosted by Grand Slam doubles champions, Luke and Murphy Jensen.

No matter what your level of tennis, it will give you the chance to rub shoulders with some of the best players in the game for a little tennis in BVI. There will be lots of cocktail parties and an End of the World Awards Dinner and auction at the Rosewood Little Dix Bay, where anyone who takes part can meet tennis stars and Sir Richard Branson.  All of the profits from the evening will go to benefit Virgin United and other ATP and WTP charitable organizations.

If you are a die-hard tennis fan, or even if you are just starting out but love the game, now may be the time to consider British Virgin Islands holidays.  Why not plan to rent a villa Virgin Gorda this December, and take part in a truly memorable few days of tennis in the Caribbean sunshine.
