Ritz-Carlton Abama
A Terracotta Paradise Tucked Between Palms and the Atlantic
If you are planning an unforgettable vacation on our "Island of Eternal Spring," there is one place that stands out above all when it comes to exclusivity and beauty: the Ritz-Carlton Abama. As a local who explores every corner of Tenerife, I can assure you that crossing the gates of this resort is like entering a terracotta paradise designed to disconnect from the world.
Located on the coast of Guía de Isora, this hotel is not just a place to sleep; it is a complete sensory experience. With its Moorish-inspired architecture and tropical gardens that seem endless, the Ritz-Carlton Abama has rightfully earned its place as one of the jewels in our tourism crown.
Why the Ritz-Carlton Abama is a Must-Visit in Tenerife
What makes the Ritz-Carlton Abama special is its perfect balance between world-class luxury and the volcanic essence of our island. Here, you don't just come to enjoy an infinity pool; you come to feel the Atlantic breeze while gazing at the best views of the island of La Gomera.
Michelin-Starred Gastronomy
For foodies, this hotel is Olympus. It houses internationally renowned restaurants, including Michelin-starred options that elevate Canarian products to another level. You cannot leave without tasting the local flavors fused with the most cutting-edge haute cuisine.
A Retreat of Peace and Sport
If sports are your thing, its golf course is one of the most acclaimed in Spain. And if you seek relaxation, its spa offers treatments inspired by Tenerife's natural elements. It is the ideal place for both families looking for comfort and couples desiring a romantic corner.
Insider Tips: Secrets Only a Canarian Will Tell You
To make the most of your stay at the Ritz-Carlton Abama, grab your notebook and jot down these tips from someone who lives here:
- The Beach Funicular: The hotel has its own golden sand beach. To get down there, use the resort's funicular; the views during the descent are spectacular and will save you a long walk.
- Sunset at the Viewpoint: Don't stay in your room. Look for the highest points of the hotel during sunset. Watching the sun disappear behind La Gomera with some "garrapiñado" (candied nuts) or a good local wine is priceless.
- Explore the Surroundings: Although the Ritz-Carlton Abama is incredible, hop on the guagua (bus) or rent a car to visit the nearby village of Playa San Juan. There, you can eat real fresh fish, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
- Comfortable Footwear: The resort is huge (it feels like a city). Even if you are dressed in your best outfits, make sure to bring some comfortable cholas (flip-flops) to move around the pool and beach areas without suffering.
