Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay
Ibiza, Spain
Vibe
Daytime lounging around sea-facing pools gives way to energetic evenings filled with waterfront cocktails and low-key DJ soundtracks.
“Breezy beachfront clubhouse”
Persian marble bathrooms, Natura Bissé amenities, and attentive poolside service delivering chilled drinks to double daybeds.
Two sea-facing freshwater pools, a supervised kids club, direct beach access, and four distinct waterfront dining venues.
Five open-air bars and lounges feature sunset DJ sets, live music on the rooftop, and cocktails.
On Talamanca Bay beach, a short stroll from Marina Botafoch and minutes from Dalt Vila.
“The hip, glamorous side and the tranquil, luxurious side of Ibiza come together under one roof at Nobu Ibiza Bay, a stunning high-end luxury boutique hotel.”
Rooms
Soft cream palettes meet woven textures, local ceramics, and Persian marble bathrooms, while select junior suites add private plunge pools.
“Inside each of the 152 rooms and suites, it feels like an island getaway with soft white and gray hues...”
Wellness
Ibiza Bay Spa by Six Senses pairs steam rooms and saunas with marma therapy, bespoke massages, and open-air yoga sessions.
“the deeply cocooning lobby bar buzzes in the thrilling way that hotel lobbies used to, with island residents who’ve dropped in for meetings, coffee, or a sneaky Kloris CBD treatment”
Backstory
Architect Alvaro Sanz framed the retreat between protected Ses Feixes wetlands and Talamanca Bay, using native stone, cane, and whitewashed walls.
“Here, the Nobu signature aesthetic has been splashed with a touch of the Mediterranean, by way of handcrafted ceramics, natural wood and woven textures…”
Eat & drink
Nobu serves its signature black cod alongside local seafood, while Chambao plates fresh paella right on the beachfront sand.
The neighborhood
A coastal boardwalk leads directly to Marina Botafoch superyachts, with the ancient ramparts of Dalt Vila just minutes away.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
