Naomi Osakais sharing all her travel tips and tricks!
The 24-year-old tennis star recently chatted with PEOPLE about all things travel, including why she prefers staying in short-term rentals as opposed to hotels when she’s competing, the items she can’t live without while she’s on the road, and some of her favorite places she’d stayed at – like the stunning Villa Nautica property in Miami, Fla. she called home whileplaying in the Miami Open.
“Making healthy choices can be tough on the road, so a spacious kitchen is essential to my wellness lifestyle,” she adds. “While I’m not a huge fan of breakfast, I usually start my day with homemade avocado toast.”

As far as the items she can’t travel without, for Osaka, it’s all about two things that’ll likely help with her performance on the courts: a massage table and a juicer.
Airbnb
Osaka also opened up about one of her favorite properties she’s stayed at – something that was “hard” to do, considering she’s “stayed at so many amazing homes.”
“I recently stayed at one I loved in Miami. Location was perfect for me as it was just far enough away from the action to be very tranquil, but at the same time I could get to great restaurants and shops in a matter of minutes,” she said of the property, which she showed off ina series of pictures and videoson Instagram earlier this month.
The stunning modern rental, seen in images here, boasts a huge living room with a wrap-around couch, an outdoor dining area perfect for entertaining and dining al fresco, a home gym, multiple bedrooms with breathtaking views, and an ultra-sleek kitchen.
“Whenever possible, I try to book an Airbnb with a pool or close to the water - the health benefits of spending time swimming or in close proximity to water span mind and body,” she shares.
Of her upcoming travels, Osaka tells PEOPLE she’s excited about one property in particular.
“I’m on the road in Europe a lot over the next few months,” Osaka says. “The next Airbnb that I’m really excited about is a beautiful home near Wimbledon.”
