Surrounded by herb and vegetable gardens, indigenous trees, and overlooking the ocean, this tranquil resort provides a range of immersive, authentic experiences, including karate classes, bingata stencil-dyeing, and music lessons. If you don’t fancy getting involved, the infinity pool is the perfect place to watch the sunset while enjoying nightly performances of Ryukyu music, dance, or karate. To up the level of relaxation even further, the exquisite spa offers nature-inspired treatments, while the ever-attentive staff can drive guests to Nirai Beach for swimming. When it comes to cuisine, you’ll be delighted by the Sicilian-Okinawan fusion menu that features dishes like Okinawan gurukun fish and shabu-shabu hot pot alongside stuzzichini and frittata. Despite its size, this resort retains that longed-for feeling of escapism.
