The super chef’s eponymous three star restaurant, 7km outside of San Sebastian.

Known for its grilled fish and seafood, unlike most other Michelin starred establishments, this doesn’t offer a tasting menu format.

15 mins outside town amidst verdant nature, at this two star restaurant out-there dishes designed to your taste as opposed to a traditional menu.

This three-star restaurant on the slopes of Mount Igueldo has fantastic sea views and offers inventive takes on classic Basque cooking.

Housed in a 100-year old house, family run Arzak serves traditional Basque cuisine and holds three Michelin stars.

Manned by three brothers, the restaurant has held a Michelin star for over twenty years and is slightly more affordable than some of the others options.

This one star restaurant in the heart of the old town specialises in the simple side of fine dining with local and seasonal ingredients as the star.

Move between Pintxos bars to sample a variety of delicious small bites. In the old town, visit Gandarias for traditional Basque cuisine in the heart of the city.

San Sebatsian’s grande dame has been welcoming guests since 1912 and is just as glamorous today as it ever was. You come here for the heritage and the most charming staff but return for riverside view and regal-feel bedrooms (think velvet drapes and marble bathrooms).

Just outside the city centre (handily the hotel hires bikes), this tudor style building is housed in lovely relaxing gardens. Classically luxurious, lovely heritage details have been beautifully preserved from the stained glass windows to the marble floors and wood panelling. The comfortable rooms come with restored antique pieces and opulent details.

For a luxurious back-to-nature experience that’s a stone’s throw from San Sebastian, Amira Hotel & Spa is just the ticket. Set amongst the trees in the Miramón Forest, rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows for an immersive feel. The rooftop pool, Foresta Wellness spa and gym, and farm-to-fork restaurant all enhance the wholesome and well-being feel.

For a restaurant-first hotel, San Sebastian is an obvious choice. Located right on the beach, if it’s a minimalist and modern approach to luxury you’re after, this is it. Much smaller than other Nobu hotels, it has a more boutique feel and all 17 rooms have sea views. There’s also a rooftop terrace, pool and, of course, a Nobu restaurant.
