Elegant Resorts officially launches sports division

Elegant Resorts’ new specialist sports division is now accepting bookings. 

The operator said Elegant Sports had been launched in response to the “rapid growth of sports tourism and clients expressing a desire to incorporate sporting events into their broader luxury holidays”. 

The Elegant Sports’ team, spearheaded by Elegant Resorts’ product director Simon Jeffries, can secure clients access-all-areas passes, behind-the-scenes tours and exclusive experiences. 

Sample packages include the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, featuring a three-day North Grandstand ticket and four nights at St Regis Saadiyat Island; the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with a three-day Sphere Grandstand ticket and four nights at Bellagio Hotel; and the Ryder Cup in New York, including four nights at The Times Square Edition.

Elegant Resorts managing director, Gordon McCreadie, said: “I am incredibly proud to see Elegant Sports come to life today. It has been a long-held vision. We are part of the Portman Group, home to sports specialists Destination Sports, so it made perfect sense to combine their expertise with ours. 

“The launch of this new division marks a pivotal step in our growth, allowing us to offer our agents a new range of luxury and bespoke escapes combined with the exhilarating world of elite sports.”
