ISTRA PlayOut Tennis Masters returned to Pula’s beautiful Verudela Beach & Tennis Resort from 12–14 June 2026, this time as part of the GLTA Masters Series.

With a significant increase in registrations compared to the previous year and women joining the competition this year, there was even more to look forward to, both on and off the courts.

Our long weekend began on Thursday, 11 June, with a sightseeing tour of historic Pula. Meeting at the iconic Arena Colosseum, players explored the city’s rich Roman heritage before swapping sightseeing for sunset drinks. The Player’s Welcome & Reception Party at Le Roof Cocktail & Wine Bar provided the perfect setting to catch up with familiar faces and meet new ones, with views over the Arena and the Adriatic setting the scene for the days ahead.

On Friday, 12 June, it was time to hit the courts. With the sea just steps away, Verudela once again offered a special backdrop for a weekend of tennis. After the opening day’s matches, the action moved to Beach & Lounge Bar Zeppelin on Saccorgiana Beach for our Cocktail & Fun Night. Rackets were put aside as players gathered for drinks, conversation and a relaxed evening by the water.

Saturday, 13 June, brought another full day of competition, followed by one of the social highlights of the weekend: the Player’s Dinner Party at Yacht Bar & Restaurant in Verudela. It was an opportunity to unwind, share stories from the courts and spend time together away from the scoreboards. As always, the connections made beyond the matches were a big part of the PlayOut experience.

On Sunday, 14 June, the focus returned to the courts for the finals, followed by the winners’ ceremony. It was a fitting conclusion to an edition that brought together a growing community of players for three days of competition and a long weekend of shared experiences in Pula.
