Europe’s Island of Eternal Summer
Set above the Atlantic on the southwest coast of Tenerife, The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama is Europe’s island sanctuary
where eternal summer meets soulful luxury. Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, subtropical gardens, and endless ocean
horizons, the resort blends contemporary elegance with iconic terracotta architecture inspired by Moorish influences and the
island’s dramatic terrain.
Designed as two distinct worlds, the resort invites guests to choose their rhythm. The Citadel, vibrant, social, and full of
energy, home to Michelin-starred dining, family-friendly experiences, and panoramic views stretching toward La Gomera.
The Retreat reveals a more serene expression of island living: four private lanes, dedicated pools, and an infinity horizon
where ocean and sky meet in a single breath, curated with personalised Ambassador service.
Celebrated as one of the Canary Islands’ most iconic destinations, the resort features world-class gastronomy, one of
Europe’s largest Ritz Kids, championship golf and tennis facilities, and a 2,500m² spa. Days unfold with purpose and ease:
slow mornings kissed by sunlight, family adventures by the sea, and tranquil evenings tasting the island’s flavours beneath
starlit skies.
Where the golden sands of Abama beach meet warm Atlantic waters, guests enjoy an exclusive area with loungers and
umbrellas included. More than a resort, The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama is a timeless escape — a place to reconnect,
breathe, and experience life at a gentler pace — where luxury is felt not only in what you see, but in how you are cared for.
