Nobu Ibiza Bay hotel review

Set on a golden sandy beach in the picturesque Talamanca Bay, the hotel is just a short drive to the vibrant Ibiza marina and historic Dalt Vila neighbourhood.

It is just a 15-minute drive to the airport and there are plenty of options for family days out less than a 20-minute drive away, including Aquarium Cap Blanc, Las Dalias hippy market, Can Muson Farm and Cala Llonga beach. If you fancy a short buggy-friendly stroll for a change of scenery, the boardwalk adjacent to the hotel takes you to Marina Botafoch for trendy boutiques and restaurants.

If you’re seeking island’s legendary nightlife, this Balearic hotel is also a great place to rest your head.

You’d be forgiven for thinking the hotel is adult-only thanks to the modern decor and chic pool areas, which are surrounded by cushioned double sun beds. There are no garish splash zones or slides in sight.

The boho swinging seats in the bar/reception area are fun for all ages, and no matter which restaurant or bar you choose on-site, the atmosphere has a welcoming buzz. It’s no wonder people return to this Nobu outpost year after year.

Service is warm and friendly, with extra attention paid to families. Staff will help parents to find tables with plenty of space for buggies and high-chairs, as well as bringing children’s food quickly.

The kids’ club staff always have a smile on their faces and are creative, friendly and engaged when supervising children, while also helpfully encouraging manners and assistance with tidying up.

All rooms and suites sleep up to four guests. The “Panoramic Junior Sea View Suite”, styled with ocean blue hues, boasts exceptional views of Talamanca Bay. Families can model adorable, matching robes, slippers and flip-flops, making any toddler feel like a mini VIP on holiday.

Cots with wheels are provided, meaning little ones can enjoy al fresco nap times on the fully-furnished outdoor terrace of your suite.

You don’t even need to leave the room to enjoy a tipple as mini bars are stocked full of premium spirits and mixers.

The generously-sized bathrooms are ideal for a family, boasting his and her’s sinks, a freestanding bath and a rainfall shower.

Nobu has five restaurants to choose from. Chambao offers a beautiful, beach setting for breakfast, where parents can sip sparkling mimosas. From spicy Mexican eggs to sweet Belgian waffles and cinnamon French toast, the a la carte menu has something to keep every member of the family satisfied. There’s also a buffet of savoury and sweet treats, which changes daily. At lunchtime, traditional Spanish tapas is on the menu, including generously-filled croquettes, Iberian ham and crispy bread smothered in juicy, island-grown tomatoes.

At the main restaurant, a DJ plays while you watch the sunset. Nobu’s renowned black cod miso is a must-order, as is the sweet, cooked-to-perfection fish. In every restaurant, the children’s menus boast a variety of fresh favourites from sea bass to kid-friendly classics like pasta, mini gourmet burgers and, of course, ice cream galore.

Fresh smoothies, milkshakes and even coconut water served in its shell are available from the Bay Café throughout the day.

While lounging around the pools, you can order delicious Spanish tapas, made-to-order Japanese sushi, Mexican-Mediterranean fusion cuisine and cocktails (or even children’s sangria) to your sunbed. Waiters also serve complimentary daily health shots while you sunbathe.

Fresh vegetarian dishes, including sweet avocado salad and moreish vegetable paella, are on the menu. Visitors with vegan, gluten-free and other dietary requirements are catered for in each restaurant, upon request.

Beach access is right on your doorstep, and there is sand surrounding the family pool for little ones to play in. The supervised kids’ club offers a daily itinerary of activities for kids four and above, while younger ones can still enjoy the play area accompanied by a guardian. For an extra fee, you can make the most of the babysitting service while enjoying a romantic meal.

Every Thursday at 9am, guests can join a complimentary Nobu Ibiza Bay Hike with scenic views. Keep an eye out for scheduled sunset yoga and reformer Pilates sessions during your stay.

Perfect for: Foodies and families wanting to be near the hustle and bustle of the island.

Not right for: Those wanting to experience Ibiza’s peaceful side or get an early night, as there are regular DJ events held on the rooftop.
