Nobu Barbuda: A luxe hideaway where gourmet dining meets Caribbean serenity

Nestled along the pristine shores of Princess Diana Beach, Nobu Barbuda is redefining luxury travel in the Caribbean. Just a short flight or boat ride from Antigua, this exclusive escape offers a harmonious blend of world-class dining, unspoiled natural beauty, and low-key elegance that feels worlds away from the typical tourist trail.

Surrounded by white and blush-pink sand beaches, turquoise waters, and protected lagoons teeming with wildlife, Nobu Barbuda is more than just a restaurant—it’s a full-blown destination. Guests arrive by private yacht, helicopter, or via the newly inaugurated Burton Nibbs International Airport, connecting effortlessly from Antigua, St. Barts, and other regional hubs.

Nobu Barbuda

At the heart of the experience is Nobu’s signature beach club, restaurant, and lounge, designed to embrace the tranquil beauty of the island while delivering the brand’s iconic culinary excellence. But beyond the elegant atmosphere, what truly sets Nobu Barbuda apart are the immersive experiences tailored for travelers seeking something exceptional.

  • Sunset Omakase: A private oceanside tasting experience where the Caribbean meets Japan in an artful array of Nobu signature dishes and freshly caught local seafood. As the sun dips behind the horizon of Princess Diana Beach, guests indulge in a multi-course meal curated by Nobu’s executive chef. ($600–$800 per person + 20% gratuity)

  • Japanese BBQ with a Caribbean Twist: This isn’t your average cookout. Think lobster, fresh conch, and marbled beef grilled yakiniku-style right on the beach. It’s a fiery, flavorful celebration of land and sea. ($550 per person + 20% gratuity)

  • Sushi Tasting + Master Class: Perfect for culinary enthusiasts, this hands-on sushi session includes lessons in rolling, seasoning, and slicing, followed by sake pairings and a gourmet sushi dinner. Guests leave with a custom Nobu apron and handbook—plus bragging rights. ($425 per person + 20% gratuity)

  • Interactive Sushi Class: Held at the outdoor sushi bar overlooking the sea, this playful yet refined class teaches guests the fundamentals of sushi-making—from Nigiri to the signature “Barbuda Roll”—followed by a guided tasting and wine pairing.

  • Beachside Cabanas & Massages: For those who prefer to unwind, plush private cabanas are available by the shore, complete with optional beachside massages. It’s luxury lounging, Barbuda-style.

A new standard for island luxury

Nobu Barbuda

What makes Nobu Barbuda so magnetic is its ability to offer world-class indulgence in one of the Caribbean’s most untouched environments. Whether you’re staying for the day or booking a longer escape, every moment feels curated, private, and deeply relaxing.

Unlike the hustle of all-inclusive resorts, this is a place where barefoot luxury meets bespoke service, where guests can sip cocktails to the rhythm of the waves or watch the sun melt into the sea over a plate of sashimi. It’s serene, it’s stylish—and it’s setting a new bar for destination dining in the Caribbean.
