Pat Cash Sanctuary Cove is more than 400 hectares of pure, unadulterated luxury… and most of it is based around these sparkling waters. But one of the cove's most famous locals doesn't have time to even wet his feet in those magnificent waterway because he spends most of his time on court….. the original Wimbledon Pat, Pat Cash. Can you believe it's fourteen years since Pat clambered into the Wimbledon crowd after beating Ivan Lendl in that final? When Pat goes to Wimbledon now, it's to call all the action for the BBC. He still gets the occasional sentimental twinge, but these days he gets physical ones as well…. Still wearing his trademark bandana, you'll find Pat coaching the new young lions of tennis. Pat's teamed up with sports scientist Dr Gavin Hopper to form the Cash Hopper International Tennis Academy at nearby Hope Island. The academy is expanding, and the next stage is happening at Sanctuary Cove. There'll be hard courts, clay courts, cushion courts. Pat's even working with a private school to create a unique curriculum…where there'll be more chalk on-court than in-class. 'They can come to school late….they might as well be out playing tennis. So we've made our own school.' Not as cushy as it sounds. If these guys want to emulate Pat, they'll have to put in at least 5-6 hours a day. And they'll also have to develop a pretty handy power game.. OK - lets see if Pat can teach this weekend whacker a thing or two. Sanctuary Cove is open to the public daily. Or to stay overnight,
try the Hyatt Regency Escape packages, starting at $122.50 per
