Abama's Kabuki Restaurant

Kabuki at Abama Resort is a Michelin-starred Japanese-Spanish fusion restaurant on the southwest coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, set within the luxury Abama Resort at kilometre 9 of the TF-47 in Guía de Isora. The restaurant is the fruit of a collaboration between the Abama Resort and Kabuki, the celebrated Madrid-based Japanese fine dining group founded by chef Ricardo Sanz, who holds multiple Michelin stars across his portfolio. The Tenerife outpost applies his signature philosophy — using pristine Japanese techniques on the finest Spanish and Canarian raw materials — to spectacular effect. The tasting menu is the kitchen's centrepiece: courses move through raw preparations such as black Iberian pork nigiri and wagyu tataki, warm dishes featuring Atlantic fish from the Canary Islands' rich waters, and creative fusion compositions that treat European ingredients with Japanese rigour. The sea bass tiradito and the omakase sushi selection are frequently cited as emblematic dishes. The dining room occupies a refined space within the resort with views towards the pool gardens and, on clear evenings, the Atlantic beyond. The atmosphere is hushed and formal; dress code is smart and guests are expected to arrive punctually. The beverage programme includes a serious sake selection alongside a wine list curated to complement the menu's umami-rich profiles. Average spend per person runs to €95 or above; the tasting menu alone is priced in the high end of fine dining in the Canary Islands. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Reservations must be made weeks in advance, particularly in winter when the resort is at full occupancy.
