The Ritz-Carlton, Abama can seat up to 850 people theatre-style and 700 for a banquet in its ballroom, run breakout sessions in a dozen smaller rooms and host weddings in its gardens, with 459 rooms, suites and penthouses on site. The resort is in Guía de Isora, on the southwest coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
Seminars and company events
The hotel lists 13 event rooms and 12 breakout rooms. The main Ballroom covers 940 square meters and can be divided into ten sections, numbered 1 to 10, plus two pre-function areas. That layout lets a group open with a plenary for several hundred people and then split into workshops of 20 to 70 in the same wing. Outside, the Persian Garden, the Lagoon Pool and the El Mirador Garden suit cocktail receptions, award dinners and product launches. Incentive groups can add time at the Abama Golf course or at the Beach Club.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel offers wedding services. The El Mirador garden, on the cliff top above the ocean, is suggested for ceremonies and photographs, and the Persian Garden for larger, more formal receptions. Wedding guests can stay on site in rooms, suites or penthouses.
Rooms and capacities
The full Ballroom takes 850 theatre-style or 700 at banquet tables. Meeting Rooms 5 to 10 with their foyer seat 600 theatre-style and 400 for a banquet. Meeting Rooms 1 to 4 with their foyer take 300 theatre-style, and Meeting Rooms 8 to 10 with their foyer also take 300. Smaller combinations hold 180 to 210. Single rooms range from Meeting Room 1, at 108 square meters for 72 people, down to Meeting Room 2 for 25. The Romeo and Giulietta rooms combine for 46, and Adagio seats 20 for a board meeting.
Accommodation
The resort has 459 rooms, suites and penthouses, which allows a large conference or a wedding party to stay entirely on site.
Catering
The kitchens cover a wide range for group dining. M.B is a Michelin-starred restaurant run by chef Erlantz Gorostiza following the approach of Martín Berasategui, whose name is also behind Txoko, a Basque restaurant. Akira Back Tenerife serves Japanese cooking, Verde Mar focuses on farm produce, Verona is Italian and El Mirador serves seafood on the cliff top. La Veranda handles breakfast, and the Beach Club serves meals on Abama Beach.
History and setting
The resort spreads over a hillside between the Abama Golf course and the Atlantic, with gardens and pools leading down to Abama Beach. The setting gives organisers a choice of indoor rooms and open-air terraces for most of the year.
