— Tenerife, Spain —
The Ritz-Carlton, Abama
Abama is one of the very few resorts in the Canary Islands to hold two Michelin-starred restaurants — MB by Martín Berasategui and Kabuki Raw — making it a true culinary destination. The resort's striking Moorish and Andalusian architecture feels like a hidden palace, while its private funicular whisks guests down to a secluded white-sand beach on the Atlantic coast. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, the scenery alone is unforgettable.
A round on the Abama Golf Course, designed by Dave Thomas, offering 18 holes of challenging play with sweeping ocean views. And if relaxation is the goal, the Guerlain Spa delivers world-class treatments in an equally stunning setting.
