1. Hoshinoya Okinawa
Hoshinoya Okinawa opened in July 2020 in Yomitan Village, a place with a strong local character.
Stepping beyond the wall, which mimics traditional textiles, you enter a lush space where greenery and the sea blend seamlessly. It is designed to harmonize with the natural coastal landscape.

All rooms are oceanfront.
A notable feature is the "earthen floor dining area" which includes a mini-kitchen.
It's a wonderful space just to be able to see everyone's happy faces gathered around it, but you can also enjoy a meal in this dining area.
I would definitely like to visit the pool again. With its depth and distinctive shape, the pool seems to connect to the sea.
There's also a lounge by the poolside, where you can enjoy a romantic time typical of an Okinawan resort. The pool is open all year round.

2. Halekulani Okinawa

The Halekulani brand, a renowned resort chain representing Hawaii, opened its second hotel in Okinawa in July 2019. As expected from a world-class resort brand, the hotel exudes a sense of luxury while a tropical breeze blows through, allowing you to truly experience the ideal resort atmosphere.

The guest rooms feature a calming atmosphere with a white and beige color scheme, accented by tasteful interior design. All rooms offer ocean views, and guests can fully enjoy the sea from the spacious terraces.

Featuring four restaurants and bars, including "SHIROUX," a restaurant run by a two-Michelin-starred chef, plus five swimming pools and other luxurious resort amenities, this hotel is perfect for those who want to spend a truly fulfilling time in Okinawa.

3. MB Gallery Chatan by The Terrace Hotels
Opened in April 2021 in Chatan, Okinawa's most vibrant town, "MB Gallery Chatan by The Terrace Hotels" is a new hotel brand jointly developed by Moon Hotels and Resorts and The Terrace Hotels. It is a Made-in-Okinawa lifestyle hotel that proposes the joy of exploring the town starting from the hotel.
At the heart of the hotel is the open-air "Atrium Arty-Crafty." The curtain of pothos plants covering the entire surface creates an atmosphere reminiscent of The Moon Beach Museum Resort (formerly Hotel Moon Beach).
The rooms are spacious, ranging from 30 to 140 square meters, and guests can also use the "7th Moon Club," a lounge exclusively for hotel guests, during their stay.

If the weather is nice, I recommend having breakfast on the terrace next to the lounge while enjoying the ocean view.
Right in front of the lounge is a rooftop pool that blends seamlessly with the ocean. This is guaranteed to be a hit on social media!

4. Grandystyle Okinawa Yomitan Hotel & Resort

For a sophisticated adult getaway, Grandystyle Okinawa Yomitan Hotel & Resort is highly recommended. Although the hotel is small, with only 54 rooms, the theme of "enjoying a luxurious time as an adult" is condensed into its design and service.

The hotel's interior is filled with soft, tropical-inspired decor illuminated by calming lighting, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The restaurants and lounges are cleverly designed with personal spaces in mind, making it truly a hotel for adults.

The guest room balcony is equipped with a daybed, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the night breeze!
The rooftop infinity pool offers a fantastic sense of openness, transforming into a night pool with a bar open at night. With tables floating in the poolside as well as poolside seating, it's a truly special place to enjoy an extraordinary experience.

There are only 18 guest rooms in total, ranging from rooms with private gardens to suites with balconies, across four different room types.
What's particularly noteworthy is that all of them are oceanfront! With Okinawa's magnificent ocean right before your eyes, you're sure to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Rather than describing "Hyakuna Garan" as a luxury resort, it might be more appropriate to call it a high-class ryokan (traditional Japanese inn).
Don't forget to use the open-air bath "Hojoan," which is available to all guests staying at the hotel.
Even those who like to go out and explore during their trip might want to focus on a quiet stay here.
