18 June is International Sushi Day, and there’s no better moment to honour the art of sushi — a cuisine rooted in precision, simplicity, and purity — than at Nobu Ibiza Bay, where the timeless craft meets the soul of the Mediterranean.

From Tokyo to New York, and now Ibiza, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa has been a pioneer in bringing sushi to the global stage, blending classic Japanese techniques with the spirit of local cultures and ingredients. For Nobu, sushi is not simply food — it's an elevated experience, built on decades of expertise and a dedication to quality at every level.

At Nobu Ibiza Bay, that same philosophy is celebrated daily: we work closely with local fishermen, growers and producers to source the freshest fish, fragrant herbs, and organic vegetables — ensuring that every bite is a true expression of place and season.

If you're searching for the most authentic and elevated Japanese restaurant in Ibiza, look no further than Nobu Restaurant at Ibiza Bay, where Executive Chef Enrico Maimonte redefines the boundaries of new-style Japanese cuisine by infusing it with the heart of the Mediterranean.

The countdown is officially on. In just 7 days, we’re reopening the doors at Nobu Ibiza Bay, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you back to another unforgettable season. Starting on April 11, 2025, we’re preparing to offer you a fresh chapter of sun-drenched days, soulful moments, and the signature experiences that have made Ibiza Bay the ultimate escape.
