The competition kicks off this Saturday in Calvià and will place women’s tennis at the heart of Mallorca’s sporting and social calendar for a whole week.
Leonardo is the ‘Official Partner Hotel’ for the latest edition of the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships, the international women’s tennis tournament taking place this weekend, from 10 to 18 October, in Calvià (Mallorca). Through this initiative, the hotel chain is reinforcing its commitment to promoting sport and revitalising Mallorca — an island where it operates four hotels — outside the peak season.
The second edition of the tournament will bring together some of the most promising young talents and leading figures in international women’s tennis for a WTA 125 event. A total of 32 players and eight doubles teams will compete on clay for the title, in a week that will combine top-level sport, entertainment and new opportunities to bring women’s tennis closer to fans and audiences of all ages.
The competition will be based primarily at the municipal facilities in Magaluf, where all matches will be played, whilst the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponça will host the VIP hospitality programme and various side events. These include meet-and-greets with players and sessions promoting and developing tennis, which will help to extend the tournament experience beyond the court.
Through its support for the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships, Leonardo Hotels is helping to consolidate Mallorca’s position as a leading destination for hosting sporting events. This partnership also reflects the chain’s commitment to creating sport-related experiences, boosting tourism on the island beyond the high season, and raising the profile and promoting women’s sport.
“Leonardo Hotels is proud to be part of Mallorca’s sporting calendar through a flagship tournament such as the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Women’s Championships. This partnership enables us to support a competition that combines sporting excellence, women’s sport , international exposure and a connection with the island, inspiring new generations of athletes,” said Diego Buendía, Director of Sales and Marketing for Leonardo Hotels in Spain.
