Ritz-Carlton, Abama, Tenerife

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.

For the evening, there’s a whole menu of restaurants - from Michelin-starred Japanese-fusion to Argentinian grill - as well as a café and four completely different bars.
