KAYATSUMA OKINAWA

Set in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island, this intimate resort is home to just four guest rooms, all offering uninterrupted ocean views. Each room features a private terrace with a jetted bath, inviting guests to unwind while looking out over the sea. ROOM.4 is uniquely equipped with a private sauna, making it the most indulgent option for a deeply private stay.
Dinner highlights local Okinawan ingredients, from Yamashiro beef—Kuroge Wagyu raised in nearby Uruma City—to native Agu pork, prepared with care and attention to flavor.

ALMIS NAKIJIN

Set in Nakijin Village on Okinawa’s main island, this minimalist luxury hotel embraces a stark, all-white, box-shaped design that places emphasis on space and simplicity. With just five guest rooms, the property feels intentionally quiet and uncluttered. Open-air baths and private infinity pools in every room frame the ocean beyond, allowing the landscape—not the décor—to define the experience.

ORIENTAL HOTEL OKINAWA RESORT & SPA

Located on a hillside about 35 minutes from JUNGLIA OKINAWA, this resort offers sweeping views of the East China Sea from every room. A 170-meter garden pool anchors the property, complemented by spa facilities including an aroma bath, jet bath, and dry sauna. With sea breezes and open views, the setting encourages slow, restorative time immersed in nature.

Okuma Private Beach & Resort

Set about 90 minutes from Naha Airport, this resort sits between the sands of Okuma Beach and the lush Yanbaru Forest, offering easy access to both the coast and forest. Spread across roughly 100,000 square meters, the property features a variety of private accommodations—ranging from standalone cottages to multi-level residences—designed to blend into the surrounding landscape. Okinawa-specific experiences such as coral wind chime making and guided Yanbaru forest activities add a hands-on connection to the natural setting.

THE HIRAMATSU HOTELS & RESORTS GINOZA

Set along Okinawa’s eastern coast, this resort features five villa-style accommodations and 14 rooms in connected buildings, all offering views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Built on a gentle slope by the sea, each room enjoys a slightly different perspective, giving every stay its own character. The reception lounge overlooks the water, where soft aromas, panoramic views, and displays of traditional Okinawan art create a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

From Exploration to Effortless Rest

From intimate, design-forward retreats to expansive resorts set between forest and sea, Okinawa offers a wide range of ways to slow down—through ocean-view pools, private baths and saunas, and spa experiences shaped by the island’s surroundings. Each of the hotels featured here brings a distinct sense of place, defined by setting, scale, and pace rather than uniform luxury. As a natural complement to time spent at JUNGLIA OKINAWA, these resort stays extend the journey into moments of rest, reflection, and connection with Okinawa’s landscapes.
