Set on the Golden Mile – the most vibrant and glamourous part of the Spanish seaside town – Nobu Hotel Marbella has now opened its doors to those who seek laid-back luxury.

It’s an adults-only playground where one can dine, dance and unwind – by pool or beachside, or in the indoor and open-air spa. All guests enjoy membership of the Owner’s Club, which grants priority seating at the signature Nobu restaurant and pre-dinner drinks delivered to rooms.

Combining organic comfort with cutting-edge convenience, all rooms feature the latest in-room technology and are decorated in a restful palette of pale linen and natural wood, with marble bathrooms. The Deluxe Double rooms and Junior and Deluxe suites each have a private terrace with views of the plaza or garden, and the spectacular four-bed, four-bath Nobu Suite offers all the luxury and space of a villa with the views of a rooftop setting – plus a private Jacuzzi on the terrace.

Set in lush, tranquil gardens with stunning sea views, the Six Senses spa offers a range of indoor and open-air treatments that harness local elements such as sea salt, olive and essential oils and minerals. Guests who prefer to relax closer to home – or indeed by the natural sounds of the ocean – can choose from a range of ‘Nobu Signature Treatments’ in their rooms or on the beach.

Nobu Marbella at the resort delivers the brand’s signature cuisine, also available via 24-hour room service. In addition, guests will find Marbella’s gastronomic hub, La Plaza, just a few steps away from the hotel. This collection of a dozen restaurants – some beachside – includes the exploratory cuisine of Michelin-starred Dani Garcia, an authentic Italian trattoria, contemporary tapas, classic Argentine Asado, and a chic outpost of Ibiza’s famous Chiringuito.

Nobu Lounge’s resident mixologist serves cutting-edge and classic cocktails alike, and boasts an impressive Champagne list and sake menu. Those who wish to keep their evening going late into the night can take the party to the La Suite nightclub.
