About The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama
A cliff-top resort on the west coast of Tenerife, looking across the water at La Gomera, with a golden-sand beach reached by funicular and the volcano Teide behind it.
Abama is the largest venue in this collection by some distance: thirteen event rooms totalling capacity for 1,232 guests, with a 1,500-square-metre ballroom that seats 700 for a gala dinner and 850 theatre-style.
Most weddings are much smaller and use one of the outdoor settings instead: the cliff-top restaurant El Mirador, the Persian Garden, or the beach itself, which is private to the resort.
The kitchens hold Michelin stars, and there are three of them on the property.

Questions about the venue
How large a wedding can Abama take?+
Very large. The resort publishes thirteen event rooms with a combined capacity of 1,232 guests, and a 1,500-square-metre ballroom seating up to 700 for a gala dinner or 850 theatre-style. Groups from ten upward are catered for.
Can the ceremony be on the beach?+
Yes. The resort has its own golden-sand beach, reached by a funicular down the cliff, and it is used for informal ceremonies and parties. The cliff-top restaurant El Mirador and the Persian Garden are the other two outdoor settings.
What time of year works?+
Any of it. The south-west coast of Tenerife holds roughly 22 to 26C year-round with very little rain, which makes it the one venue in this collection where a winter date is not a compromise. January and February weddings here are ordinary.
Who plans the wedding?+
The resort has its own event specialists and Michelin-starred kitchens, so the menu, the spaces and the timings run in-house. Couples can reach the team on +34 922 126 528 or at RC-Abamaleads@ritzcarlton.com.
How do guests get to the resort?+
Tenerife South (TFS) is about 30 minutes away and takes charter and scheduled flights from across Europe. Tenerife North (TFN) is around an hour and mostly serves mainland Spain, so most international guests come through the south airport.
