About the Resort
A classic Canarian-colonial-village grande dame on Costa Adeje
Bahia del Duque is the grande dame that started Costa Adeje's luxury era — a nineteenth-century Canarian-colonial village by the sea, around twenty pastel buildings with a clock tower and sixty-three thousand square metres of gardens on the Playa del Duque beachfront. Around 350 rooms and forty villas spread across the village, with the butler-serviced Casas Ducales enclave and private-pool villas in Pascua Ortega design. Cascading pools, lagoons and streams open onto the beach, the Bahia Wellness Retreat carries an outdoor thalassotherapy circuit and an observatory, and nine restaurants and fourteen bars include a Michelin-starred kitchen. The setting is the heart of southwest Tenerife: the resort sits on the golden sand of Playa del Duque on Costa Adeje, the volcanic cone of Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak and a UNESCO national park, rises inland, and whale-and-dolphin trips out to the resident pilot whales and ferries to neighbouring La Gomera leave from along the coast. It is the classic colonial-village grande dame of Tenerife — distinct from the clifftop golf finca Abama at Guia de Isora and the design-led, most-Michelin-starred Corales at La Caleta. Year-round winter sun.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Bahia del Duque. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama is a vast Moorish clifftop golf-and-Michelin resort at Guia de Isora — a Moorish-pink citadel and rows of villas across a 400-acre finca above the Atlantic, with views to La Gomera. Its nine-restaurant line-up is led by M.B., Martin Berasategui's two-Michelin-star kitchen, and a Michelin-starred Akira Back, while Abama Golf runs a Dave Thomas championship course above the sea and a funicular drops to a private golden-sand beach. Eight pools, a destination spa, the adults-only Retreat and the largest Ritz Kids club in Europe make it golf, Michelin and grand-family at once. The clifftop golf-and-Michelin finca of Tenerife — distinct from the design-led, most-Michelin-starred Corales at La Caleta and the colonial-village grande dame Bahia del Duque at Costa Adeje. Year-round winter sun.

Its Gastrocorales line-up holds the most Michelin stars of any hotel in Spain: El Rincon de Juan Carlos at two stars, San-Ho and Il Bocconcino at one each. Two linked hotels share the resort — the family-friendly Suites and the adults-only Beach — across around 235 designer suites, with saltwater pools and lush gardens steps from the sea. The design-led, most-Michelin-starred pick of Tenerife — distinct from the clifftop golf finca Abama at Guia de Isora and the colonial-village grande dame Bahia del Duque at Costa Adeje.
