Relaxing with little need to go anywhere else!
Pros:

Room was spacious. Shower was great. Despite the bussell and noise some people have mentioned on reviews we didn't hear anything. Everything was conveniently located to the room.

Cons:

No dressing table with mirror. Mirror to bathroom and on wall plus a desk but not as one for make up and hair.

The swimming pool on the beach was extra cost .
Other pools that was included where without view to the beach and no view at all , it doesn’t feel vacation.

Nice stay, but pool need improving
Pros:

I generally enjoyed my stay at the Nobu. The reception team and valet staff were excellent throughout, the rooms were lovely, and we were very kindly upgraded to a Junior Suite for our babymoon, which was a really appreciated touch.

However, there were two areas that left me quite disappointed.

Firstly, the pools. I understand the facilities are shared with Puente Romano, but honestly many of the pool areas feel like they are in need of a major refurbishment. The Nobu-only pool is extremely small and was consistently overcrowded. The family pool by Chéat was lovely, but again there simply wasn’t enough space for the number of guests. The same applied to Rachel’s Eco Love pool, which in particular was concerning as some of the decking boards were loose/out of place and I actually saw guests injure themselves.

Secondly, the service at some of the independent poolside restaurants and bars, particularly Chéat and Rachel’s, did not feel aligned with the level of service from the main hotel. You can clearly tell they are independently operated. Aside from a few great staff members, service generally felt slow, disengaged, and at times uncooperative. I did raise this during checkout and was told it would be investigated.

What makes this more frustrating is that the hotel itself offers an incredible variety of food and dining options, genuinely more than most 5-star resorts I’ve stayed at, and I travel frequently. The overall concept, atmosphere, and brand positioning are fantastic.

That said, for a hotel carrying the Nobu name and prestige, I felt the pool experience and associated service areas were a significant let-down.

I would still consider returning, but I’d definitely weigh up other options before booking again.

Wonderful place
Pros:

Great place. Perfect location, atmosphere, room size and quality. Nice value for price.
Only thing to monitor is availability of sunbeds, which is something that should not happen, and that they have taken out the best pool of the hotel, which is a pity.

Andalusian Sunsets, Silk Sheets, and a Hint of Heaven
Pros:

Nobu Marbella feels like someone folded a serene heavenly retreat into the middle of the Costa del Sol and somehow made it effortless. From the moment you walk through the property, everything has a calm, polished rhythm to it. Palm trees swaying outside, ambient music floating through the courtyard, and staff who seem to anticipate what you need before you even ask. The whole place hums quietly instead of shouting luxury.

The atmosphere was easily one of the highlights. The adults-only setting gave the hotel a relaxed sophistication that worked perfectly for long dinners, late cocktails, and slow mornings. At night, the energy around the Nobu Plaza comes alive without ever becoming chaotic. It feels social and elegant at the same time, like a very well-dressed secret.

The rooms were beautifully designed: minimalist but warm, with subtle Japanese touches blended into the Mediterranean setting. The bed was dangerously comfortable, the lighting thoughtful, and the terrace became my favorite spot for coffee in the morning and wine at night. Everything felt intentional, right down to the scent in the hallways.

Service throughout the stay was exceptional. Every interaction felt genuine rather than scripted, which is increasingly rare in luxury hotels. The team was attentive, fast, and incredibly polished without being stiff.

The amenities and location also make this place special. You’re steps from incredible restaurants, close to the beach, and perfectly positioned for both relaxation and Marbella nightlife. And of course, the Nobu restaurant itself absolutely delivers. Dinner there felt less like a meal and more like an event.

What impressed me most was how balanced the entire experience felt. Luxury without pretension. Energy without noise. Design without coldness. Nobu Marbella gets that balance exactly right, and it’s the kind of hotel that quietly ruins average hotels for you afterward.
