Play Polo With Ignacio Figueras For £246k

Polo players who want to learn how to perfect their skills from the best can have a private lesson with world-famous polo player Ignacio Figueras. 

However, they will have to pay $295,000 (£246,313) for the privilege of being taught from the Argentine player in the backdrop of Aspen, Colorado, Tatler revealed

Figueras, who is otherwise known as ‘Nacho’, is thought to be the ‘David Beckham of polo’, and plays alongside Prince Harry in the US. 

Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts guide has released the Exclusive Polo Aspen Experience, which includes a two-night stay at the five-star St Regis Aspen Resort.

They will also receive a private asado dinner cooked by chef Agustin Mallmann, who many might recognise for being the nephew of Francis Mallmann. 

Additionally, they will receive a private lesson with Nacho, along with 11 guests, at the members-only Aspen Valley Polo Club. 

Melissa Ganzi, who became the first international woman to play polo in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, will also tutor the recipient of the gift.

Her son, Grant Ganzi, played with Nacho and the Duke of Sussex in the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup in August.

The cup raises money for children in Southern Africa who have been affected by extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS, inequality and Covid-19, and Prince Harry is a co-founding patron of the tournament, while Figueras is an ambassador. 

It has raised more than £10 million in the last ten years, with the funds going to support the charity’s work to improve access to health services, care, support, and skills training.
