A soothing escape surrounded by the majestic nature of Yanbaru Forest and the crystal-clear waters of Churaumi.

It is the "paradise of the heart" that everyone dreams of. A distant landscape embraced by untouched nature gently envelops the hearts and bodies of visitors. The fragrance of vividly blooming tropical flowers. The blue ocean, brimming with the essence of life. The pleasant sea breeze that sweeps through paradise. And the starlight that descends every night. Radiant scenery and soothing hospitality that resonate with the heart. Kanucha Bay Hotel & Villas opens the door to paradise.

  • As with last year, we stayed for two nights in July. This year, it was sunny every day for the first time, and we enjoyed the ocean obstacle course for two days in a row with our 8-year-old!We fell into the sea a lot, but because the water is so clear and beautiful, it felt much less scary.The seaside pool gets hot, but there was a nice breeze and it was comfortable.We could enjoy the pool from morning until night, the food was delicious, and we had a great three days at the Hotel!We also had shaved ice on the pool terrace in front of the restaurant—it was creative and delicious!Last year, getting around by cart was tough because of rain and wind, so this year we chose a Room near the front desk. But since it was sunny this time, next time I think we might choose a Room with a jacuzzi on the terrace.

  • We stayed here for the last two nights of our 4-night, 5-day Golden Week trip to Okinawa. The Orchid Room near the beach had a wonderful view, and the jacuzzi on the balcony was incredibly relaxing. Unfortunately, it rained throughout our stay and it was surprisingly cold for Okinawa, but the ocean obstacle course and snorkeling were operating as usual, so our family was able to enjoy marine sports for a full day. The Hotel pool and beach were almost private, so thanks to the bad weather we were able to enjoy a truly luxurious experience. Getting around by cart in heavy rain—such as going to the restaurant—left us soaked every time, but since we were traveling as a family with energetic teenage kids, it didn’t bother us much, and it became part of our fun memories from the trip. We also really appreciated that with the Plan including a rental car, we could pick up the car from the day we arrived at Naha Airport by paying only the difference in price. We look forward to staying again someday. Thank you very much for your hospitality during our stay.

On July 12, 2021, "North Wing" reopened. Offering 【New Kanucha Style】.

The North Wing, which has been part of the resort since its opening, is centrally located within the expansive grounds and is adjacent to the pool and restaurant buildings, offering the most authentic "Kanucha experience." The 94 rooms have been renovated to incorporate "Bingata," a traditional Okinawan dyeing technique, creating a space where guests can feel even closer to Okinawa. Additionally, upgrades have been made to the bathrooms, a frequent guest request, and amenities have been replaced with "sustainable items," preserving the beloved style while also being environmentally conscious, introducing a "new Kanucha style."

Kanucha Stay blending into the great nature of Yanbaru.

Kanucha Stay blending into the great nature of Yambaru.

Kanucha Resort, located on the east coast of Okinawa's main island, boasts an expansive property of approximately 800,000 tsubo. In the morning, you can hear the chirping of birds and sounds of wildlife from the Yanbaru forest, while the beach retains its natural rocky formations. In the evening, you may even witness hermit crabs moving to new homes. This resort offers a luxurious experience where you can fully immerse yourself in Okinawa's untouched nature.

Feel the forest, sea, and breeze of Yanbaru

Experience a soothing moment feeling the sea breeze in the early morning.

Practicing yoga or stretching on the beach, where you can feel nature through the sound of waves and natural rocks considered the guardian deity of Kanucha, is recommended to start a refreshing morning.
