ROADSIDE CHIC
The atmosphere throughout Los Jardines de Abama is deliberately low-key. Three heated pools shimmer among manicured gardens, and attentive staff move quietly between loungers with cool towels and cocktails. Guests can take a short shuttle to the beach club below, or enjoy a walk through landscaped pathways lined with bougainvillea and palms. Service is professional, warm and intuitive, the kind that anticipates a need before it’s voiced. And then there’s the golf. The resort sits alongside Abama Golf, an 18-hole championship course designed by Dave Thomas that many consider one of Spain’s most spectacular. Carved into the cliffs with sweeping ocean backdrops, its fairways cascade down the slope toward the sea, punctuated by more than 20 lakes and thousands of palms. It’s a course that challenges seasoned players while offering breathtaking scenery at every turn. Guests of Los Jardines enjoy preferred access, along with use of the practice facilities,

Los Jardines de Abama Suites & Villas Set high above the Atlantic on Tenerife’s sun-drenched southwest coast, Los Jardines de Abama Suites & Villas combines residential calm with resort-level polish. It’s part of the Abama luxury community, an enclave of terraced villas, immaculate fairways and ocean views that stretch toward the island of La Gomera. The impression, on arrival, is one of space and serenity. This is not a typical hotel, but rather a sculpted hillside of contemporary architecture where every balcony seems to frame the sea. Each of the one-, two- and three- bedroom suites or villas features a full kitchen, open-plan living areas and vast terraces; some with private plunge pools. Interiors are airy and modern, with pale wood, crisp linen and soft natural tones that echo the volcanic landscape outside. Whether it’s breakfast in the morning sun or an evening glass of Malvasia wine under a sky brushed in pink, the private outdoor spaces invite guests to linger.
“It’s where golf meets the sea, design meets stillness, and guests rediscover the simple luxury of time well spent.”
