Top choice in Tenerife
From its elevated perch gazing down on to a wide-angle perspective of the Atlantic, the vast, five-star Ritz-Carlton Abama wows guests with a breathtaking range of facilities: seven pools, a dozen restaurants (with three Michelin stars in there) and a tip-top golf course. A Moroccan architecture theme dominates, while rooms, villa rooms and suites are adorably graceful, tasteful and commodious.
Keeping the whole thing running smoothly are very responsive, professional and obliging staff.
