The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama sits above the Atlantic on the island’s southwest coast, around 30 minutes from Tenerife South Airport. It’s a large, luxury resort, but it doesn’t feel busy thanks to generous grounds, low-rise buildings, and plenty of quiet corners. The style is refined and elegant rather than flashy, with Moorish-inspired architecture, terracotta tones, and landscaped gardens throughout. Rooms and suites are spacious, well-finished, and designed for comfort, with many offering sea views or private terraces.

Dining is a real highlight. The resort is home to multiple restaurants, including Michelin-starred options, alongside more relaxed choices for casual lunches and evening meals. There are several pools across the property, including adults-only areas, plus a private beach reached by a short funicular.

Facilities include a full-service spa, tennis courts, a kids’ club, and access to nearby championship golf courses, making it a strong choice for couples, golfers, and families who want space and quality. Service is professional and attentive without being overbearing, and everything runs smoothly, from check-in to dining reservations.
