An Easter with a difference

From local artisan workshops and complimentary fine wine and vermouth tastings, tapas workshops, Nobu sushi making masterclasses and beach barbecues, a Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay Easter (31 March – 10 April) is unlike any other. For the ultimate balance, head to their newly refurbished Bay Café area at the heart of the lobby area where the Ibiza Bay Spa by Six Senses will be running beauty workshops throughout the start of April, from ‘how to treat your skin for sun exposure’ to ‘post-flight pointers for rehydration and water retention’ courtesy of Dr Barbara Sturm, Organic Pharmacy and Kloris. Complimentary morning fitness and yoga sessions will also run, plus a kobido workshop where guests can learn the ancient art of a Japanese face lift massage.

Meanwhile, little ones will be kept busy with everything from baking arts and crafts to flower power afternoons and DJ lessons, in true Ibiza style. There will even be Hippie Market and White Party events especially for kids, where they can customise traditional baskets Las Dalias style and make DIY scrubs with natural ingredients.

Reach your full potential with Ibiza Bay and Self Space

Self-love is at the very core of Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, so this season the hotel is proud to partner with on-demand mental health experts, Self Space, to host an unforgettable personal growth retreat: Grow Through What You Go Through.

The retreat will create a space to take a deep dive into what makes you you, leaving guests feeling relaxed, nourished and prepared to grow.

The Go Through What You Go Through retreat will take place from 21-23 May, from €1578 / £1393 per person, including daily breakfast and lunch, plus three days of workshops and sessions.  

Self Space will also be hosting Decompression Sessions on 24 May: 90-minute workshops where guests can learn simple techniques to feel less stressed, less reactive and more relaxed for just 25 euros. Plus, on 27 May, Self Space will be hosting Deep and Meaningful Breakfasts free for hotel guests, followed by an omakase Deep and Meaningful Supper Club at Nobu restaurant the following evening for 120 euros – both focused on the importance of quality time and forming meaningful interpersonal connections. Where better to embrace everyday mental maintenance and build emotional resilience than the idyllic White Isle?

A season of unforgettable gastronomy

For an extra special evening, spectacular seven course, four hands dinners with Nobu guest chefs will run throughout the season.

For families, Ibiza Bay’s chiringuito Chambao epitomises the relaxed, stylish and laid-back feeling of the best of Ibiza by the seay. Home to freshly caught seafood and Balearic favourites – like artichokes alla brace with idiabazal cheese and summer truffle slices or Formentera pasta – it’s an uncomplicated choice for chilled-out afternoon gatherings. Chambao is also ideally located right next to the kids club, with live music playing at weekends.

Joining Nobu and Chambao, an exciting new pop-up from a multi-Michelin starred chef will be announced closer to the season.

At Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, guests can while away the day basking in the ever-changing moods and colours of the bay, drifting from pool to lounger to the soundtrack of waves lapping on the shore and Balearic beats. The hotel’s idyllic location in Talamanca Bay, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle and with access to Formentera, allows guests to slow down to a new pace and to prioritise their wellbeing – all within easy reach of the White Isle’s renowned nightlife. That’s the beauty of the spirit of the south of the island.
