Each accommodation type reflects Nobu's signature style, creating an aura of tranquility and sophistication.
Exclusive Island Estate Residences
In a distinct offering, the development will showcase exclusively ten Nobu Island Estate Residences. Positioned on their own private islands, these residences present a coveted opportunity for ownership in one of the world's most sought-after destinations. Each residence will be a haven of luxury equipped with spacious living and dining areas suitable for hosting, lavish bedrooms and bathrooms for ultimate comfort, and private beachfronts that allow direct access to the ocean. As an added bonus, each residence comes with its own yacht for exploring the breathtaking surrounding waters.
Owners of the Nobu Island Estate Residences will experience unparalleled privacy while maintaining close proximity to the Nobu hotel's remarkable amenities, including world-class dining options, a full-service spa, and a selection of wellness facilities.
Culinary Excellence and Amenities
At the heart of this luxurious experience will be a Nobu restaurant located on its own private island, where guests can indulge in Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's renowned Japanese-Peruvian cuisine. Amenities also include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a diving center, multiple tennis courts, and ample spaces for events and gatherings. The centerpiece of the resort features a picturesque main swimming pool designed for leisure and relaxation.
