Tenerife’s Coastal Haven
With its seven swimming pools, state-of-the-art fitness centre, tennis academy, Michelin-starred restaurants and championship golf course, the Ritz-Carlton Abama abounds in first-class facilities which it combines with a secluded location on Tenerife’s southern coast.
Boasting a majestic clifftop setting, the 160-hectare Ritz-Carlton Abama is an exclusive, five-star resort in peaceful Guia de Isora. The sprawling estate centres around a pink, Moorish-style ‘citadel’ framed by swathes of subtropical gardens and overlooking panoramic views of the Atlantic. There are over 450 guestrooms and suites, each tastefully decorated in neutral shades and with the attention to detail you’d expect of a Ritz-Carlton hideaway.
When not getting pampered in the expansive spa or practising your swing at the 18-hole ocean-view golf course, your days can be spent indulging in an array of land and sea adventures, from wine tastings and cooking classes to whale watching, paragliding and guided volcano hikes. Don’t forget to ride the funicular down to the resort’s private beach, a stunning crescent of golden sand where you can snorkel and sunbathe whilst waiters bring you iced refreshments. Children of all ages are well catered for thanks to the excellent Ritz Kids programme which offers a fun menu of fun water, land and science-based activities.
Dining is varied and well considered. Michelin-starred restaurants sit alongside relaxed beachside options, with flavours ranging from Spanish to Japanese. Evenings move easily from sunset drinks to dinner, with terraces and sea views setting the tone.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
Excellent service throughout, with helpful and kind staff at every stage. When our return flight from Australia via the Middle East was cancelled, the team stepped in quickly to resolve everything, making what could have been a stressful situation feel straightforward and well handled.
