The Ritz-Carlton, Abama
Tenerife
OVERVIEW
Rising like a great pink palace from the tranquil west coast of Tenerife, the Ritz-Carlton Abama offers a luxurious retreat in a secluded location, overlooking the expansive banana plantations along the coast. With breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and La Gomera, the Moorish-style private estate offers everything you could ever need for a relaxing break in the sun.
There’s a beach, reached by the resort’s private shuttle and a funicular railway, an award-winning spa, a par-72 championship golf course and the always-popular Ritz Kids programme, offering entertainment and educational activities for little ones.
The 395-acre gardens are a pleasure to explore, overflowing with blooms and swaying palms. After a recent refurbishment the Abama is sparkling, so see for yourself why people return time and again to relax within its peaceful rosy walls.

What to do
While there are plentiful activities at the resort, it’s worth spending some time exploring Tenerife. Go in search of dolphins on a private catamaran tour or take the cable car to Mount Teide, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s third-highest volcano. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the island by helicopter or, if you are feeling adventurous, by paragliding.

What and Where to Eat
From light snacks poolside to fine dining in one of the two Michelin-starred restaurants, Ritz-Carlton Abama offers a variety of dining venues. We love the clifftop location of El Mirador, which lives up to its translated name of ‘view point’. What better place to savour local seafood specialities whilst taking in the incredible Atlantic Ocean views?
