Wow. I don’t even know where to start with this resort. It was the most beautiful hotel I had ever stayed in. The resort is located right on the beach, along the Golden Mile. The adults-only Nobu Marbella hotel, also part of the same complex, adds to the hotel’s youthful and energetic vibe.
Let’s start with the highlight of my day…breakfast. I have never been so overwhelmed, in the best way possible. Everything was so fresh and beautiful. The fruit was the best I’d ever tasted. I started every morning with a ginger shot. I was obsessed with their homemade, gluten-free granola bars. They have seating inside and outside, overlooking the pool and ocean.
The landscaping is spectacular. The resort consists of villas built within its own botanical garden. The garden features over 400 plant species from different continents.
I thoroughly enjoyed my scenic walk to breakfast every morning.
The beach was pretty to look at, but not as enjoyable to lay on. The flies were obnoxious. It could’ve been due to all the washed-up seaweed, but they were ruthless.
The hotel offers 4 swimming pools. Coya swimming pool is an exclusive pool strictly for the guests staying in the Nobu hotel. Here you can enjoy unique tribal beats of the Coya music, played by a live DJ every day. They serve authentic Peruvian dishes and lovely cocktails.
If you are looking for a quiet resort, this is not the place for you. Drawing guests to Chanca, a vibrant nightclub, the complex offers a diverse culinary scene with at least 12 restaurants, creating a vibrant social hub around La Plaza’s bar. Before entering the nightclub, we wined and dined ourselves at Chanca by Coya. We were obsessed with the ceviche.
Chanca is known for its Peruvian fusion delights and pisco bar. We were immersed with the sounds of Peru at COYA, where live music performances add an extra layer of excitement to your dining experience.
After dinner, we walked into the connecting nightclub of Chanca.
More photos of some of the many restaurants on property. Chiringuito is a lively beach club. Gaia is Greek-Mediterranean style cuisine. Rachel’s Eco Love offered many healthy options, including avocado toast and super salads. Lagom Cafe overlooks the tennis court, offering a fun atmosphere while you sip on your espresso or green juice.
The tennis club is established as one of the best professional tennis clubs in southern Europe. The club has an outdoor gym, overlooking the 10 courts.
The indoor gym was a vibe, to say the least. The dim lighting and grass walls set the ambiance. The gym has a boxing space with a ring. Did I mention they have a live dj in the mornings? The locker rooms are absolutely stunning.
I was fortunate to experience the spa, along with a full body massage. It was so relaxing.
One thing about me – give me a balcony and I’m a very happy camper. My balcony was the favorite thing about my room.
