Nobu Hotel Marbella
Sleek rooms anchored by a signature restaurant and spa
About this hotel
Nobu Hotel Marbella pairs sharp, contemporary rooms with a dining room that anchors the whole stay, drawing guests who plan an evening around the table as much as the pool. The outdoor pool and spa fill the daytime hours, with free breakfast and parking easing the practical side of the stay. Pet-friendly rooms make this one of the few properties in the area suited to travelers bringing a dog along, and the location near Playa El Fuerte keeps the beach within easy reach.

Our take
Nobu Hotel Marbella puts its signature restaurant at the centre of the stay, with a full spa and an outdoor pool to fill the rest of the day. Breakfast and parking are included, and pets are welcome, which is uncommon at this level in Marbella. I would book it for couples or small groups who care about food and design. The atmosphere is contemporary and adult-leaning, so families wanting extensive children's facilities will be better served elsewhere.
- Book a dinner reservation at the signature restaurant well ahead, tables fill fast.
- Ask about pet-friendly rooms directly if traveling with a dog.
- Use the free parking to explore the old town a short walk away.

Why guests love itThe restaurant is the reason most people book Nobu Hotel Marbella, and I would choose it for a family trip only with older children who enjoy a dining-led stay. The outdoor pool and full spa fill the hours between meals, breakfast and parking are included, and the rooms are pet-friendly, so the family dog can come too. A 9.0 score from 763 reviews shows guests rate it highly. Families needing a kids' club or play areas should look at larger Costa del Sol resorts.
