Meet Meindert and Adrian

FOUNDERS OF SQUASH RETREAT

Meindert Kooistra and Adrian Grant both love traveling with their families, but there was always one thing missing: squash. So in 2020 while the world waited for travel to resume, Meindert and Adrian created Squash Retreats, enlisting highly decorated squash players—Greg Gaultier, Nick Matthew, and Laura Massor—and teaming up with Destinations Inc. to make their vacation dreams come true. Now there’s a perfect way to spend a week—play squash and compete with coaching from world squash champions in the morning, and then explore an unforgettable city or beach or ski world-famous slopes with your family and friends in the afternoon.

MEET MEINDERT​

FOUNDER OF SQUASH RETREATS

Meet Meindert Kooistra, a squash enthusiast whose passion for the game was nurtured on the courts of the Netherlands. As a member of the Dutch squash selection, he spent his weekends competing in junior tournaments across Western Europe and even ventured into the Dutch Premier League and the Bundesliga in Germany.

Now, let’s fast forward 20 years…

While Meindert’s love for traveling (with his family) has taken him to incredible destinations around the world, there has always been one thing missing from his adventures: squash.

In 2022, as the world eagerly awaited the return of travel, Meindert decided to take matters into his own hands. He envisioned a unique experience that would combine his love for squash with the joy of exploring new places and building new relationships with fellow squash enthusiasts. And thus, Squash Retreats was born.

At Squash Retreats, we’ve teamed up with some of the most decorated squash players in the world, including legends like Greg Gaultier, Nick Matthew, James Willstrop, and Camille Serme, to bring your squash dreams to life.

Imagine spending a week immersed in the world of squash, starting your mornings with expert coaching from these world squash champions. Afternoons are reserved for witnessing the world’s best squash players in action, with thrilling matches that will leave you in awe. As the sun sets, you’ll have the chance to indulge in the culinary delights of the city, dining in the finest restaurants and savoring the local cuisine.
