With this background, the resort will benefit from the skills of its new director and his extensive experience. Meanwhile, David Cayuela faces his new job with satisfaction and says his main goal is to turn Abama Golf & Spa Resort into the best resort in southernEurope.
Located in Guia de Isora, with spectacular views of theislandofGomera, the Abama Golf & Spa Resort resembles a Moorish citadel. With a clear African influence in its decor, Abama Golf & Spa Resort offers 321 rooms in the Citadel and 148 rooms and suites in Villas. In addition, Abama Golf & Spa Resort has recently opened the Tagor Villas, a unique new concept in “adults only” accommodation. The 36 rooms that make up the Tagor Abama Villas, six of which are suites, are far from the main building, surrounded by botanical gardens, towards the ocean. Its unique location makes this type of lodging an oasis of tranquillity that has been specially designed for those guests looking for a unique and special experience.
Abama also features a beach club, a spa with more than 2.500m2, a golf course, nine swimming pools, two of which are natural, a tennis club, ten restaurants – one of which, MB, obtained its first Michelin star and is personally run by Martin Berasategui, the chef awarded three Michelin stars and offering fusion cuisine – Abama Kabuki Japanese restaurant overseen by Spanish chef Ricardo Sanz, whose restaurant Kabuki Kabuki Wellington in Madrid is considered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Europe and both boast a Michelin star – and multiple spaces for meetings and events.
Located on an estate of 160 hectares, the Abama Golf & Spa Resort is surrounded by subtropical vegetation. Up to 90,000 trees and shrubs and palm trees of 300 different species are part of the complex designed by the internationally renowned architect Melvin Villarroel.
Abama Spa, beauty centre, health and fitness centre and African-inspired hotel is a haven of peace. With a menu of over 30 treatments, a thermal circuit and a team of experienced professionals, Abama Spa is a benchmark. In its commitment to evolving and always offering the best to each customer, Abama Spa has launched Abama Total Wellness, a comprehensive protocol of beauty treatments, personalised health and nutrition. Each of the programmes at Abama Total Wellness begins with a consultation and diagnosis and continues under the guidance of a life coach and does not end when you leave the spa or gym but continues throughout your stay at the resort.
The Golf Course of 18 holes is a par 72 and 6,237 meters in length, designed by Dave Thomas. It has over 25,000 trees and tropical plants, numerous lakes, sand bunkers and surrounding hills. Golfers can see, from any green, both the sea and the summit of El Teide. The Tennis Club has seven tennis courts and four paddle courts and is overseen by the International Tennis Academy Sanchez-Casal, which handles international players Emilio Sanchez-Vicario and Sergio Casal, twice winners of Roland Garros
