An Easter with a difference

From local artisan workshops and complimentary fine wine and vermouth tastings, tapas workshops, Nobu sushi making masterclasses and beach barbecues, a Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay Easter (31 March – 10 April) is unlike any other. For the ultimate balance, head to their newly refurbished Bay Café area at the heart of the lobby area where the Ibiza Bay Spa by Six Senses will be running beauty workshops throughout the start of April, from ‘how to treat your skin for sun exposure’ to ‘post-flight pointers for rehydration and water retention’ courtesy of Dr Barbara Sturm, Organic Pharmacy and Kloris. Complimentary morning fitness and yoga sessions will also run, plus a kobido workshop where guests can learn the ancient art of a Japanese face lift massage.

Meanwhile, little ones will be kept busy with everything from baking arts and crafts to flower power afternoons and DJ lessons, in true Ibiza style. There will even be Hippie Market and White Party events especially for kids, where they can customise traditional baskets Las Dalias style and make DIY scrubs with natural ingredients.
