The Ritz-Carlton, Abama
Nestled among large palms, eucalyptus trees and an unending turquoise-blue sea, The Ritz-Carlton, Abama offers lush sensorial delights. Take your pick among the meditative and eco-friendly botanical gardens, vibrant Moorish-inspired architecture with salmon-hued clay walls, indigenous treatments among the inspired spa menu and vistas of the soft surf where dolphins are often seen at play and above which glide soft Atlantic breezes carrying parasailers and an array of colorful birds.
Designed as a finca, or farm-style setting, in Guía de Isora on the southwest coast of Tenerife, the outdoor landscape quickly moves from tropical to verdant to volcanic, while The Ritz-Carlton, Abama’s modern interiors have soothing creams, tans and light brown and the latest contemporary amenities. The 459 accommodations include vast VIP suites, villas and citadels both for those seeking an adults-only respite with the utmost quiet and privacy and for families wanting can’t-miss activities for children at a range of ages. The hotel offers an excellent kids club, and The Zone Fun & Entertainment gives teens areas for music, sports, art and fitness, with a highlight being a stage for budding rockers and DJs alike to show off their beats.
Every corner of the Tenerife hotel offers the temptation to snap something new and breathtaking for your social media followers. Lovers of cultural history will want to pay careful attention to the crisscrossing influences here, including the Moorish references to Arab citadels, while those seeking a natural escape will favor the divine secluded beach, waterfalls and 90,000 trees with 300 different species of palms and more.
