"Set in Guía de Isora on the island’s west, this hotel complex offers luxury villas, eight swimming pools, a golf course, a private beach, and a spa, all complemented by magnificent views; staff will even welcome you with a glass of champagne." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A luxury hotel in Spain certified by Biosphere, known for its sustainable achievements in harmony with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals."
"An onboard specialty restaurant offering a chef-curated, high-end tasting experience by Sven Elverfeld (the three-Michelin-star chef of Aqua in Wolfsburg), available for an additional fee (about $285 per person). It serves as the ship’s signature culinary event for guests seeking an elevated, reservation-style dining occasion among the vessel’s five dining venues." - Fran Golden
"Some large hotels can seem impersonal and lacking in character. Instead, The Ritz-Carlton, Abama—a monumental vision of faintly surreal, multilayered Moorish pink—feels more like a curious labyrinthine village; a place to get happily lost in, among all those palm trees, curving walkways, and aquamarine pools with sharp, dissonant angles. The sense of a total escape is helped by the fact that the hotel is a world unto itself: With views beyond the white-sand beach to the neighboring island of La Gomera, it is mostly surrounded by a golf course (owned separately), beyond which the volcanic Mount Teide looms ominously large. Flying and flopping may be unfashionable, but I can’t think of a better place to do just that of a European winter (Tenerife is T-shirt-warm all-year-round). There are more than eight restaurants and bars, including Michelin-starred Basque and Japanese fusion; the kids’ club, with art walls, is one of the biggest in Europe; and the spa takes opulent inspiration from Roman baths. But the joy here is just being: hiking along the rugged coast or floating from pool to pool, as the sun casts lines of shadows over pink stucco walls and eventually settles over the peaks of La Gomera. Doubles from $500. —David Moralejo" - CNT Editors
"Set in Tenerife’s southwest coast, this timeless island retreat overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and neighboring island of Gomera. It has 7 outdoor pools, an award-winning spa and is in close distance to a golf course, a tennis academy and golden-sand beach. The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama is made up of Moorish-inspired buildings housing guestrooms and villas. The resort is set in lush tropical gardens on a cliff top, with a Resort Train down to the exclusive beach" Each room and villa has an ethnic style, and most enjoy views over the gardens, and Atlantic Ocean. All come with luxury marble bathrooms, and interactive TVs and internet access. "The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama offers 8 restaurants, including 2 with Michelin stars (open according to seasonality). There is a large spa, featuring 10 treatment rooms and a wellness and fitness center. The hotel also offers two zones for younger guests, The Ritz Kids and The Zone, Fun & Entertainment center." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
