Nobu Hospitality Announces Nobu Beach Inn, Barbuda
Nobu Hospitality, the globally recognised luxury lifestyle brand co-founded by Robert De Niro, has announced new details for the upcoming Nobu Beach Inn as part of The Beach Club, Barbuda, a low-density resort and residential community on the Caribbean Island of Barbuda.
Following the successful opening of Nobu Barbuda in 2020 – a beach restaurant and lounge on the famed Princess Diana Beach that has since become a destination in its own right – De Niro has continued to expand his vision for the destination.
Created in partnership with James Packer and Daniel Shamoon, Nobu Beach Inn will offer a barefoot luxury retreat immersed in its natural surroundings, capturing the understated simplicity of a bygone era.
Nobu Beach Inn Barbuda – Luxury, Seclusion & Lifestyle
Set across 400 acres and two miles of beachfront on the island’s southwest coast, Nobu Beach Inn will feature 36 bedrooms across 17 individual villas, a beach club, oceanfront pool, indoor and outdoor spa, kids club, outdoor cinema, two tennis courts, two padel courts, and a gym pavilion.
A collection of world-class restaurants will complement Nobu, including an oceanfront grill featuring local catch and an omakase sushi bar. Integrated into lush landscaping and connected by meandering sand pathways, the single-story bungalows will use natural, sustainable materials that dissolve seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
Construction is set to be completed in late 2026.
Encouraging guests to explore Barbuda’s extraordinary natural beauty, the fully equipped water sports centre will offer dinghy sailing, water skiing and kite surfing. Sailboats and motor yachts will be available for sunset cruises, beach picnics, fishing trips, scuba diving excursions, and voyages to neighbouring islands.
An evolving roster of visiting wellness practitioners, DJs, fitness experts, and chefs will bring unique culinary and wellness experiences to the island.
A deeply personal project for De Niro, who first discovered the property more than 30 years ago on a boat trip from Antigua, Nobu Beach Inn has been a heartfelt endeavour ever since. When the site became available ten years ago, De Niro, together with James Packer and Daniel Shamoon, knew it was time to bring the vision to life.

The Nobu Beach Inn will also include 25 beachfront branded residences, further expanding Nobu’s branded residential portfolio.
