The Ritz-Carlton, Abama clearly understand you’re more than ready for a family holiday, so take a look at why the resort is exactly what you need this summer.
Villa Club – laid back, luxurious and made for families
The Ritz-Carlton, Abama is one of the most impressive resorts on Tenerife’s south west coast. Designed like a Moorish citadel and staring straight out over the Atlantic towards the little Canary Island of La Gomera, it’s surrounded by 400 acres of lush, sub-tropical grounds and, if it reminds you of an oasis, you’re not wrong.
A blend of effortless luxury and laid back Tenerife charm is a design feature in all the resort’s 459 rooms and suites, but the combination really comes into its own in the new Villa Club. Introduced in 2020 and created with families in mind, this oasis within an oasis offers a range of one bedroom suites and interconnecting rooms, all with large terraces, ocean or garden views and access to a semi-private swimming pool, set in beautifully landscaped gardens. As an added bonus, Ritz Kids is right next door to Villa Club, plus a dedicated ‘ambassador’ is on hand to make sure you have everything you need for an easy and completely carefree family holiday.
And on the subject of carefree, The Ritz-Carlton, Abama can also supply you with a wide range of baby essentials – even buggies and car seats – just note the equipment you want when you book and expect it to be ready and waiting when you arrive. The resort also has an easy to arrange babysitting service; if you feel like a night off parenting or some time at The Ritz-Carlton Spa – a specialist in treatments inspired by Tenerife’s natural environment.
The Ritz-Carlton, Abama is home to the largest Ritz Kids in Europe
Spending every minute of a family holiday together is the dream, but you should be aware that The Ritz-Carlton, Abama has the largest Ritz Kids in Europe, so your under-12s might have other ideas.
Take comfort in the knowledge that Ritz Kids is no ordinary children’s club. Even the opening hours are extraordinary: sunrise to sunset, every single day. Kids can look forward to a fresh-daily line up of activities ranging from arts and crafts to storytelling, gardening and movie sessions. And the entire club’s designed for maximum kid-appeal, right down to its very own garden and a large, outdoor playground; which all families staying at the resort have complimentary access to during the day. If kids are too old for Ritz Kids (over 12) The Ritz-Carlton, Abama has them covered too, with nicely thought out teen-centric activities like archery, videogames and DJ sessions.
Michelin-starred restaurants where families are more than welcome
Out of The Ritz-Carlton, Abama’s eight superb restaurants, two hold coveted Michelin stars and every single one is family-friendly. Michelin-starred Kabuki welcomes kids from age six, and even goes as far as having a special tasting menu created to appeal to children and introduce them early to the delicious complexity of Japanese food. When snacks and a seaside mood are what you crave, the Beach Club is another kids’ favourite. And if nothing will satisfy apart from pizza and pasta, head to Verona for some of the best classic Italian cooking in all of the Canaries.
