Nobu Hotel Marbella

Excellent: Amenities, property, location, and variety of restaurants. The property is beautifully maintained. Charming, narrow walkways are enhanced by tranquil background music, creating a relaxing ambiance throughout. Special recognition goes to the concierge and check-in staff. The concierge team is available 24 hours a day and responds promptly—excellent service all around. Things to Consider: Noise: If you’re traveling for rest and relaxation, prefer quiet evenings in your room, or want to enjoy your balcony peacefully before midnight, you may want to consider staying at the adjacent property in rooms closer to the beach, Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa. We stayed in one of the most remote rooms at Nobu, yet music from the outside club lounge was clearly audible on the balcony—as though we were part of the party. The bass could even be heard inside the room. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but definitely something to be aware of. If you're planning to go out late and enjoy a vibrant nightlife scene, the party atmosphere here is a must—highly recommended. It's a posh, cool place that we've enjoyed on several occasions. Breakfast: If breakfast is included with your Nobu reservation (à la carte), you’ll have access to the Sea Grill buffet as well, which is excellent. Just be sure Nobu notifies Sea Grill in advance, as it belongs to a different property, Puente Romano Beach Resort & Spa, adjacent to Nobu. A quick text to the concierge will handle it. No reservation time is needed—just the heads-up. Both breakfast locations offer beautiful water views. Gym: Fantastic gym—with a live DJ! A very cool touch. Beach: The beach area designated for Nobu guests (free of charge) is quite small. There’s no music, and only one server. Understandably, this staff member is overwhelmed. On our first day, no one approached us with menus or drinks, so we had no idea service was even offered. On the second day, it took 40 minutes just to get water. For a better beach experience, consider Chiringuito next door. Sunbeds are around €250 (which includes a bottle of Ruinart Champagne), and there are more affordable chair options. This beach is larger, features a DJ, and offers outstanding beach club service. A perfect experience when we visited. If you expect a flawless 5-star experience at every moment, you may find a few areas in need of fine-tuning. It all depends on your previous luxury travel experiences and personal expectations from a 5-star hotel. Overall: A stunning property—stylish, well-managed, with professional and accommodating staff. Highly recommended for those who appreciate design, energy, and elevated service.

Simply stunning hotel, from the start, greeted with friendly helpful reception, pre message was wonderful to offering to book restaurants for us prior to arrival which was so helpful. Our room was spotless with beautiful view over the Nobu Pool. Thank you so much for the wonderful surprises for my wife’s special birthday, so personal and really did make her birthday and our stay extra special . Could not fault a thing, staff were fantastic, friendly, attentive and happy. Nobu Hotel truly is a magical place to stay, we look forward to returning.

If you want to feel unwelcome and an inconvenience this is the hotel for you! Absolutely none of the staff want you to be here. How dare you try to order a drink or some food. I’ve never in my 56 years of being on this planet been made to feel feel so bad for asking for anything…

Everything about the hotel is perfect. Staff were amazing and extremely helpful. Perfect location only 5minutes from puerto buenos. Will definitely be back.

Friendly, helpful and warm welcoming staff. Clean, attentive and spotless accommodations. The food is an experience in itself and a retreat for your tastebuds. The scenery was simply majestic with the mountains set in the background.
