Ritz-Carlton Abama Canary Islands: Luxury & Hidden Gem

Nestled on the sun-drenched southwest coast of Tenerife, the Ritz-Carlton Abama Canary Islands offers a luxury escape like no other. With its striking Moorish architecture, palm-fringed pools, Michelin-starred dining, and unmatched views of the Atlantic, this is a resort that doesn’t need to shout to be heard—it simply delivers. For discerning travellers seeking something truly special, this hidden gem blends five-star elegance with the warmth of island hospitality.

Whether you’re drawn by the allure of world-class golf, want to relax in an indulgent spa, or are planning a romantic retreat with ocean sunsets and private villas, the Ritz-Carlton Abama is a destination in its own right.

Let’s take a look inside.

Set across 400 acres of subtropical gardens, the Ritz-Carlton Abama Canary Islands balances grandeur with privacy. The pink-hued buildings, inspired by North African design, are set against the backdrop of Mount Teide and the Atlantic. Whether you're staying in the main Citadel or tucked away in the more exclusive Villa Club area, you’ll feel like you’re somewhere truly rare.

What makes this place stand out?

Private golden-sand beach accessed by funicular
Seven swimming pools, including quiet adult-only options
An 18-hole championship golf course
Michelin-starred restaurants and vibrant local flavours
Full-service spa and wellness centre
Spacious rooms, many with ocean-view terraces

Each detail is designed to elevate your stay, from pillow menus to poolside cabana service.

For those craving space, calm, and a sense of escape, the Ritz-Carlton Abama delivers. The Citadel is ideal for couples and families alike, while the Villa Club offers something extra—personal check-in, exclusive pools, and a more intimate setting.

Rooms are airy and refined, with soft tones and modern touches. Floor-to-ceiling doors open onto generous balconies. Suites are ideal for longer stays or special celebrations. If you’re planning a honeymoon or anniversary, ask us about the rooms with private plunge pools.

Want to keep it relaxed? Room service here is no afterthought. You can enjoy gourmet meals from your terrace, with the waves as your soundtrack.

Food is taken seriously at the Ritz-Carlton Abama. It’s home to M.B., Tenerife’s two-Michelin-star restaurant, led by Martín Berasategui—Spain’s most decorated chef. For Japanese fusion, Kabuki (with one Michelin star) blends precise technique with bold island ingredients.

Casual dining is just as enticing. At Verde Mar, you’ll find rustic Canarian dishes with a modern twist. Txoko delivers rich Spanish classics, while The Beach Club brings seafood straight to your plate, just steps from the ocean.

Menus shift with the seasons, meaning every visit brings new flavours.

Volcanic Landscapes and Local Secrets

While the Ritz-Carlton Abama Canary Islands delivers luxury in spades, don’t miss what lies just beyond its elegant gates. Tenerife offers raw natural beauty and rich cultural heritage—perfect for travellers who like their relaxation seasoned with a bit of exploration.

Mount Teide, Spain’s tallest peak and an active volcano, dominates the island’s centre. A guided trip up its lunar-like slopes is a highlight. The national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its otherworldly terrain contrasts beautifully with the resort’s polished setting. You’ll want to pack your camera. Mount Teide is around 90 minutes away by car, making it perfect for a day trip. The resort is also well-positioned for exploring fishing villages, volcanic beaches, and cultural sites across Tenerife. For more detailed information on Tenerife’s attractions and travel tips, visit the official Spain tourism page.

For something more low-key, the historic town of Garachico charms with cobbled streets and natural rock pools. Or head to Icod de los Vinos to see the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree. These places move at a different pace—one that invites you to slow down and soak in the atmosphere.

Tenerife’s farmers’ markets are also worth a visit. They brim with tropical fruit, artisan cheeses, and the island’s famous mojos. Ask us about private tasting tours that connect you with local producers in authentic settings.

Looking to explore without straying far? The nearby fishing village of Alcalá offers lovely seafront strolls and ocean-fresh seafood.

This island rewards curiosity.
