The global luxury lifestyle brand founded by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, film star Robert De Niro and entrepreneur Meir Teper will launch its first hotel and restaurant in Greece.

A new luxury scheme is coming to the beautiful island of Santorini in the Cyclades.

Nobu to make a splash in Santorini

Nobu Hospitality has announced plans to open Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Santorini in spring 2022. It comes after the global luxury lifestyle brand struck a long-term management agreement with conglomerate MonteRock International.

Alfredo Longo, CEO of MonteRock International, said: “We are really proud of the rock-solid collaboration we are having with Nobu brand throughout the years, and we are now more than delighted to expand together in the hospitality industry. In this incredible ‘canvas’ such as the island of Santorini, the finest of what Nobu lifestyle and cuisine have to offer would be served in a ‘picture-perfect setting’, catering to every need at the highest standards.”

Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Santorini will be the brand’s 26th hotel around the world and tenth in Europe alone.

A clifftop retreat

Guests can expect to find an expansive hospitality offering that includes a Nobu restaurant, dual-level infinity pool and full-service spa, as well as a fitness centre and five luxury pool villas. From its clifftop location in Imerovigli, just 20 minutes away from Santorini (Thira) International Airport, the hotel will provide panoramic views of both the caldera and the Aegean Sea.

Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality said: “We are very excited to be coming to Santorini and to work with the local community on this exciting project.

“Santorini is one of the most highly regarded destinations in the world with its rare beauty, famed for its distinctive cuisine, whitewashed architecture set with a backdrop of steep cliffs, and dramatic sunsets lighting the sea and sky. We look forward to inviting locals and international travellers alike to experience the Nobu lifestyle in this special destination.”
