Luxury hospitality brand Nobu is set to launch its first rural retreat in the UK.

Known for its city-based fine dining restaurants and swanky hotels, the chain is set to launch Nobu Woolfox.

Plans for a hotel, spa, residencies and restaurant across 185 acres in Rutland have been announced.

Nobu said: "Nobu Hospitality introduces a new countryside destination in partnership with Woolfox, bringing a Nobu hotel, restaurant, and branded residences to 185 acres in Rutland, England.

"Set near the historic town of Stamford, this first-of-its-kind concept for the brand reimagines the Nobu lifestyle as a nature-led retreat, blending luxury hospitality, world-class dining, and refined living with a slower, more restorative pace.

"Surrounded by unspoiled landscapes and close to Rutland Water, the development will feature lake view rooms and suites, a signature Nobu restaurant and bar, curated food and beverage spaces, spa, alongside a collection of branded residences, creating a new luxury lifestyle destination in the English countryside."

Nobu is partnering with high-end wellness group Woolfox Members Club in the move.

No date has been confirmed for the launch.
