A Grand Opening:
Nobu's Signature Sake Ceremony
Nobu's Signature Sake Ceremony
For over three hundred years, the traditional Japanese Sake Ceremony (also known as Kagami-biraki, is a ceremony performed at celebratory events in which the lid of the sake barrel is broken open by a wooden mallet and the sake is served to everyone present. This opening of the cask is said to bring blessings of health, prosperity, and happiness to all those present. And thanks to chef Nobu Matsuhisa, it’s a celebratory event that marks the official inauguration of each and every Nobu Hotel that opens all over the world. The sake ceremony is an important signature touch that goes far beyond the usual ribbon-cutting, which is typically a subdued affair.
And just last week, co-founders Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper, celebrated the official launch of Nobu Hotel Los Cabos (a property we could not be more excited about!) with this grand opening moment. Following the cutting of the ribbon, guests gathered for the traditional sake ceremony to the sound of Japanese Taiko drummers — where the lid of the sake barrel (filled with five gallons of Nobu’s very own ‘The Sake’ Junmai Diaginjo, of course!) was broken and served in traditional masu cups for a grand toast. There was an extravagant fireworks display and the celebrations continued throughout the evening. Suffice to say — it marked the beginning of the brand's first foray into Mexico and was done in true Nobu-style. The anticipation of this really incredible property on the Baja Peninsula is finally over!

Situated on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California meet, is the latest and greatest hotel to open: Nobu Hotel Los Cabos. The dreamy new beachfront resort infuses the brand's signature Japanese minimalism with Cabo's laid-back beach vibes to create the most tranquil seaside stay imaginable. It’s hard not to fall in love with the simple yet sophisticated architecture, sparkling views of the Pacific, and of course, the exceptional service and warm hospitality that Nobu is known for. The property boasts multiple pools, a variety of dining experiences (including a signature Nobu) so your palate will always be pleased, a pampering Asian-inspired spa with all the bells and whistles, an incredible kids club, and so much more! Just 20 minutes from downtown Cabo — this is truly an oasis for sun-seekers, foodies, spa snobs, and design lovers… And it may just be one of Nobu’s best properties we’ve seen yet.
— THE ACCOMMODATIONS —
If you love neutral tones and a modern zen aesthetic, you’ll quickly fall in love with the thoughtfully-designed (and simply gorgeous!) accommodations on offer here. Each of the rooms and suites come with a super chic balcony and many with a teak onsen-style soaking tub (what those drool-worthy vacation dreams are made of!). While every room is spacious and luxurious, it’s worth noting that some suites come with a few extra perks… Think: private butler service, private pools, and more! For those seeking the utmost luxurious experience (and our personal favorite accommodations!), book the one or two-bedroom Nobu Suites that come with a large stone fireplace, separate living area, dining area, full kitchen, 15-foot ceilings and incredible ocean views… Categorically in a league of their own!
— THE DINING —
If there’s one piece of advice we can recommend it is to come hungry and work up an appetite! There are tons of drool-worthy dining options at your disposal at Nobu Los Cabos and an on-property Chef’s Garden, so you know everything is fresh… There’s a signature Nobu Restaurant with on-the-sand experience, farm-to-table fare from the popular California outpost Malibu Farm, traditional Mexican tacos and tequila pairings at Pacific, and several on-property bars perfect for those sunset cocktails. If you want a private dining experience, reserve the 10-seat teppanyaki room at Nobu’s signature restaurant. Did we mention that they have sushi on speed dial? Yep, you can order from any of the restaurants on-property and have it delivered right to your door!
— THE AMENITIES —
The hardest decision you’ll have to make here is where and how to spend your days…. A beach, four pools, private cabanas, outdoor activities, a 13,700 square foot spa with an indoor hydrotherapy areas and an outdoor hydrotherapy garden, an incredible fitness facility, and so on! Plus, it’s not too far outside of the city, so you have easy access to spend a day at the local shops.
Nobu Hotel Los Cabos is nestled within a gated community named Diamante. This private complex features the most spectacular golf courses designed by Davis Love III and Tiger Woods.
Drop your little ones off (or join in if you wish!) at the incredible kids club: offering things like kids yoga, cultural education (where they’ll learn the Japanese art of Origami!), face painting, adventurous activities outdoors, and so much more!
