Fodor's Expert Review Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay

Spacious rooms, two swimming pools (one for families), and on-it customer service are standouts in this upscale beachside resort that impresses from the instant you enter – when the open-plan lobby splays out onto a sophisticated pool area. There are nods to your neighbor, the ocean, throughout the design: raffia lampshades, accents of blue among neutral bedroom furnishings, and breakfast served outdoors, with sand literally beneath your feet. Situated on Talamanca Bay, it’s around a 35-minute stroll to Eivissa port, most along a well-kept boardwalk and promenade. Walk left, however, and an unexpectedly wild and rugged clifftop walk, interspersed with calas, awaits anyone who packed sneakers.
