Suddenly luxury hotels have finally transformed the mass tourism image of Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands. It's taken a decade to achieve and leading the way is the elegant yet family friendly 5-star Abama Golf & Spa Resort, arguably the best hotel on the island. Now this stunning Ritz Carlton hotel offers world class travellers exclusive holidays in one of Europe's most popular summer and winter sun hotspots.
Location Abama Golf and Spa Resort Tenerife
The Abama Hotel stands in over 160 hectares in the tranquil hideaway Guia de Isora, situated on the south west coast of Tenerife.This grand pink Moroccan-style Citadel built on the smooth slopes of the Tiede, the highest peak in Spain, undulates down to the Atlantic Ocean where it has its own exclusive sandy beach.
Accommodation Ritz Carlton Abama Hotel
The 476 elegant rooms and suites all have terraces. Haute couture bathrobes, Bulgari freebies in the marble bathrooms replete with weighing scales to monitor the daily excesses for those who are diet conscious, delectable daily titbits of tiny fruit salads and jugs of citrus flavoured water are luxurious pleasing touches that sets the standard of this stylish hotel.
A Sophisticated Hotel With Families & Couples in Mind
Operated since 2007 by the prestigious Ritz Carlton team, the hotel offers families and romantic couples top class service. Children are kept happy with numerous kids' pools and activities in the Ritz Carlton Abami Kids Club. This affords quality time for parents and sophisticated couples who can beat a retreat to the adults-only pool where they can lie around its edges in four-poster canopied cushioned splendour; especially good for sun loving honeymooners who can't bear to separate.
Newlyweds, up and coming boxer Lance Brooks and his wife Crystal from Leicester, were having a wonderful time relaxing on the shaded loungers.They are impressed that there was so much to enjoy and that it was lovely to have a romantic getaway still in Europe and not across the other side of the world.
Abama Golf & Spa
For those Abama hotel guests who find supine pursuits not stimulating there are a phenomenal variety of activities available for even the most hyper-active. A spectacular 18-hole, 72 par golf course surrounded by waterfalls and lush greenery with a bird's eye view of the sea is according to Irish golfers David and Ruth Hiscocks from County Kerry "challenging and stimulating".
Abama Spa facilities include extensive massage treatments and romantic couples can be uber pampered in the same room by a duo of masseurs. Beckoning are Clay Body Wraps, an aromatic spa circuit and a giant jacuzzi hub for a post beach, pre-dinner swish & chill out. For the ultimate Holistic Holiday guests can book the Abama Spa Total Wellness Packages.

With so many restaurants to choose from there's no need to step outside the resort. From family-friendly Pampa Verona Italian and Argentian cuisine to seafood lovers romantic El Mirador – try the terrific Paella. For ultimate sophisitcation there's MB: first stop for Gourmet Abama foodies and visiting guests from all over Tenerife.
Michelin Restaurant Abama Hotel
Spain's celebrated Chef Martin Berasategui's Michelin Star restaurant is a great culinary experience and diners would be advised to prepare during the day if the superb tasting menu is on the cards. Guests sit in the beautifully appointed airy high ceilinged room and on the large terrace as waiters bring a procession of huge plates with tantalising morsels.
What follows is a great culinary adventure. Sweet onion cream, marinated blue fish, fennel in its light refreshing foam, succulent shell fish in a feathery jus. Then the excitement of black truffle "agnolotti", winter seabass, roasted piglet with mango, carrot & pineapple chutney and never quite knowing what the next taste sensation will be, one prays for something simple and it came – Millefeuille with apple, sorbet and Armagnac Chantilly – a perfect gourmet experience. Wines: Cava Viñatigo Gual 2007 and a full bodied Canarian El Hierro Tanajara.
Nightlife & Nightclub Abama Resort
After dinner nightlife offers gentle nightcaps and live jazz mood music in the lobby, Reggae in the Tanganika bar and for late nighters there's the Moroccan Club to dance the night away.
