Introduction to Nobu Barbuda

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.

Dining Experience

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.
