Ritz‑Carlton, Abama

Why it’s great:

The Ritz-Carlton Abama sits on a dramatic clifftop overlooking the ocean, surrounded by volcanic landscapes, subtropical gardens and a private golden-sand beach accessed by a funicular — it feels exotic, cinematic and secluded.

The design blends Moorish influences with luxury modern interiors — terracotta tones, archways, domes and sculptural architecture. It’s spacious, grand and elegant in a way that few hotels in the Canaries match.

The resort is huge yet tranquil, featuring:

• Multiple pools (including adult-only areas)

• Michelin-recommended dining options

• A world-class spa

• A famous championship-level golf course

• Private villa-style accommodations

Couples can choose between clifftop ceremony views, intimate garden settings, or a private beach area for wedding photos. Sunsets here are extraordinary due to its west-coast location.

Best for:

• High-end destination weddings — couples who want a grand, impressive, luxury environment.

• Larger or multi-day celebrations — this resort can host groups across various room types.

• VIP guests or couples who want privacy — especially in the villa areas or adults-only zones.

• Couples who love sunsets — some of the best in Tenerife.

• Food-focused couples/weddings — the dining is exceptional with varied gourmet experiences.

• Golf or spa-oriented guests — making it ideal for full-week events.
