Situated in the sunny southwest of Tenerife, the Ritz-Carlton, Abama is a 25-minute drive along the TF-1 from Tenerife South airport and closer to 70 minutes from Tenerife North airport. There is a gorgeously golden beach below which is open to non-guests too as private beaches are forbidden in Spain. Playa San Juan is five minutes away by car and its traditional Cofradia de Pescadores offers the freshest fish dishes.
By plane: flights from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Tenerife take around 4 hours 30 mins. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from Tenerife South. Book flights to Tenerife.
Named after an African goddess, there is a magical mysticism in the air at Ritz-Carlton, Abama. South American architect Melvin Villaroel is a grounded visionary, however. The terracotta exterior represents both earth and fire. The environmental design's solar panels power air conditioning, hot water in showers and the swimming pools.
The Ritz-Carlton, Abama's commitment to attentive service and its selection of world-class facilities have earned it a number of Gold awards and certificates. The Abama golf course is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Ryder Cup player Dave Thomas. There are seven tennis courts and four paddle courts at Abama Tennis.
