The Ritz-Carlton Abama

Tenerife

Providing an elevated experience in every sense of the word, this colourful clifftop resort is a bastion of five-star hospitality. A year-round attraction, with a climate and activity-list to match, guests can indulge with fine dining at Michelin-starred Japanese-fusion restaurant Abama Kabuki, take a dip in one of the seven swimming pools, or head to the award-winning The Ritz-Carlton Spa for locally-inspired therapies and wellness experiences. The remarkable Moorish-style architecture is as notable as the ‘Ritz Kids’ children’s club, which is the largest in Europe and is based on the Jean-Michel Cousteau’s environmental programme. With incredible amenities provided for families, it’s unsurprising that many choose to return year-after-year. Everything here is on a grand scale – the landscaped grounds, the accommodation types, the dining venues, the variety of sports – with a global list of accolades being the just reward
