Traveling with pets has evolved beyond basic accommodation to include luxury experiences where canines receive personalized bowls, plush beds and custom menus.
Pet Hospitality Program
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay now welcomes the entire family with their new Tails of Talamanca pet hospitality program. This addition responds to growing travel trends, as 70 percent of Americans own pets and 75 percent plan to travel with them, according to the 2025 APPA National Pet Owners Survey.
The comprehensive pet stay includes homemade arrival treats, personalized door signs, natural toys, memory foam beds and beach towels. Dog walking and sitting services are available for guests requiring additional assistance.
The property features Ibiza’s only dedicated dog spa, where pets receive paw massages and aromatherapy treatments using Charlie & Co Naturals products. Executive Chef Enrico Maimonte has created a gourmet pet menu available in-room or at Chambao By the Beach. Options include grass-fed organic beef stew, turkey with pumpkin, and homemade oatmeal cookies with almond butter—all tested by dogs at the local Sa Coma adoption center.

Colonial Canines
NUMU Boutique Hotel’s comprehensive pet program in San Miguel de Allende is preparing to celebrate International Dog Day (August 26) with your clients and their furry “plus-ones.” This Mexican destination is renowned for its dog-friendly atmosphere, which is evident throughout local restaurants, parks and streets.
NUMU offers specialized pet amenities including plush dog beds, personalized food and water bowls, gourmet treats and dog-specific refreshments. At the hotel’s rooftop restaurant NOIA, where guests enjoy Mexican-Mediterranean cuisine, dogs can sample natural “Doggie Cocktails” like Snoopy’s Frutal Mix or Pancho’s Cocktail.
The hotel actually has its own canine ambassador, Pancho, who has developed a following among guests and on social media (check him out at @pancho_numu.sma). His presence provides an additional connection for those missing their own pets during their stay.
