The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama spreads across a clifftop estate on the island's west coast, with terracotta architecture, palm gardens and Atlantic views giving the resort a strong sense of place. Guests move between rooms, suites and villa-style retreats, lagoon pools, the beach below, a substantial spa and a celebrated dining scene, with golf, family facilities and adult-focused spaces all woven into the resort. The lagoon pools sit on a terrace between the clifftop rooms and the beach below, giving guests a freshwater stop partway down the same descent that leads to the Atlantic.
