Location

The 160-hectare luxury oasis, The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama, is located amidst banana plantations on the west coast of Tenerife in Guia de Isora, approximately 35 km from Reina Sofia International Airport. Due to its advantageous position on the gentle slopes of the Pico del Teide volcano, it offers fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the neighboring island of La Gomera. The resort blends harmoniously into its natural surroundings with its unique architecture, is located directly on an 18-hole golf course, and below the hotel is a 200-meter-long white sandy beach.
