Boris Becker's Ambitious Plans for Tennis Resort

Tennis star Boris Becker has been busy making big plans over on the luxurious Al Marjan Island: he's building a mega-resort that's being touted as one of the area's most ambitious ever. The Boris Becker Beach Resort and Tennis Academy will offer two ocean front exposures and 2.5 million square feet of luxury holiday homes, high end resort and spa facilities, a five star hotel, and of course a world-class tennis academy 50% owned by Becker himself.

A couple of interesting facts: the academy and resort will be partially solar powered, the design is meant to represent a sea turtle when viewed from the air, and it's all scheduled to be finished by 2010.

Becker JetVans

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Wheels

Step off the tarmac and into uber-sized luxury in the Becker JetVans. A Mercedes Sprinter van decked out with first-class accommodations for the most opulent of travel groups, this creation comes with a private-jet feel throughout. Standard accessories include leather seats, flat-screen televisions, and plush space for up to eight passengers. There are eight floor-plans to choose from offering reclining seats with footrests, internet connectivity and even a bathroom! Ease into this stylish ride for around $175,000 and you'll never have to endure the rough ride of a city taxi from airport to hotel again.
