Ibiza, Spain
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay
Breezy in the Balearics
What it is
Perhaps the most glamorous outpost of Nobu Hotels.
What it isn't
Ibiza gone wild. Picture luxe, not a drug-addled limbo line.
What we think
Robert de Niro has unwittingly put his name on a few flops (did anyone actually see "Dirty Grandpa"?), but not when it comes to hotels. The co-owner of the latest Nobu Hotel, along with chef Nobu Matsuhisa, among others, made sure this is a red carpet–worthy stay. All 152 rooms take design inspiration from the Mediterranean shimmering just beyond their floor-to-ceiling windows, with tawny and turquoise color schemes, hand-hewn ceramic art and coddling finishing touches lie Persian marble–lined rain showers and private terraces. After spending a day bopping between two sea-front pools, you can hit the on-site blow dry bar before tucking into the deliriously delicious sushi at Japanese fusion restaurant Nobu—just like you would in New York City.
You're here because
This is now, by all accounts, the most luxurious stay in Ibiza (there are yacht mooring services on-site, natch).
The Moment
On an island that’s always in the midst of Swimsuit Season, you’re ecstatic to find Celicioso, a cafe that only serves what a Victoria’s Secret model would gorge on: green juices, superfood salads, and vegan fare, all energy-reviving after the raucous night you had.
Restaurants & Bars
Nobu - new-style Japanese Fusion Cuisine
Chambao - freshly caught seafood and Balearic specialties
Celicioso - healthy smoothies and light, fresh meals
Pool Bar - all day dining with fresh-squeezed juices, light snacks, and bar
Location
Set on white-sand Cala Talamanca beach, a mere five miles from the airport. It’ll take you just 15 minutes to get to poppin’ Ibiza Town itself.
