The 160-hectare luxury oasis, The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama, is situated amidst banana plantations on the west coast of Tenerife in Guia de Isora, approximately 35 km from the international Reina Sofia airport.

There are also various themed restaurants, including the Italian restaurant "Verona" and the Spanish restaurant "Txoko" by star chef Martin Berasategui.
In the subtropical garden landscape with 90,000 palm trees and around 300 different plant species, there are a total of 7 freshwater swimming pools (including the new Serenity Pool for ages 13 and up), an exclusive sand beach, 2 natural rock swimming pools with seawater, and a beach club.
