Las Terrazas de Abama
Good looks, golf and gastronomy
High spec suites with private terraces, 400 acres of grounds, views of La Gomera and the Atlantic, and a gorgeous golf course all combine to create a luxe Tenerife sanctuary. Exceptional dining comes as standard whether you're at Melvin, where the menu is curated by Michelin Star-winning chef Martín Berasategui, Tágara where traditional local dishes are given a gourmet twist, and the Sunway Pool Bar where light bites are accompanied by an ocean breeze and Atlantic views. Wellness and fitness boxes are ticked at the exclusive Sandára Wellness & Spa where bespoke treatments and therapies are the focus, the 18-hole golf course and the Abama Tennis Centre with its courts and academy.
This gem of a resort in Guía de Isora is a great think-outside-the-box option, just a six-minute drive from tiny Playa de Abama and with the feel of a luxury hotel. But there’s a twist – it’s made up of exclusive one- to three-bedroom apartments, set between the first two holes of the world-famous Abama golf course with its white-sand bunkers, lakes linked by waterfalls and 25,000 palm trees. Winding walkways lead to a long, slim pool and the suites have white-washed walls, sloping roofs and open terraces. Settle in and soak up the average year-round temperature of 23°C and views over La Gomera and the Atlantic Ocean.
Make yourself at home in a luxury sea-facing suite on the renowned Abama golf course.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
