Okinawa Remote Islands × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days to celebrate my partner’s birthday trip. When I contacted you in advance to ask about arranging a surprise, you kindly replied and supported us on the day as well, for which we are truly grateful. The message on the whole cake was beautifully done, the surprise was a great success, and my partner was absolutely delighted—thank you so much. The rental car was even cuter than it looked on your website, and exploring the island with it was so much fun. The room atmosphere, the breakfast and dinner meals, everyone’s hospitality, and nearby Kuura Beach—everything felt like a perfect vacation. It was our first trip to Miyakojima, and we were able to spend such a relaxing and wonderful time. Finally, when you drove us to the airport, we were deeply moved when everyone—including the kitchen staff—came out to see us off. Thank you very much for an amazing three days.

Because the reviews were so highly rated and had caught my attention, I decided during the planning stage of my Miyakojima trip to stay here for one night. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, a staff member promptly carried our luggage for us, and from that point on everything was taken care of—truly attentive service! The hotel exterior and the room were both clean and beautifully designed with a white color scheme. We could go straight to the pool from the balcony, and I really appreciated that beach sandals were provided. It was also a big plus that we could walk to Umi no Eki, a popular sightseeing spot. Because there are relatively few rooms, shared areas such as the breakfast venue were quiet and relaxing. Overall, I felt the price was very reasonable for this level of accommodation. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

It was an absolutely wonderful villa. When I come to Miyakojima again, I definitely want to stay here! The service was consistently thoughtful—exactly the kind that anticipates every need. Everything you think “It would be nice if they had this” is already there. The staff were also very courteous. The amenities and hair dryer were high quality. The shampoo and hand soap were THANN. There was also baby body wash (a good additive-free one from Mama & Baby). They offer a surprisingly large selection of free rental items, including things you don’t usually find at a typical Hotel, such as a baby chair and baby playpen (some items are available for a fee). Everything inside the Room was clean with no issues. All drinks in the refrigerator are free-flow. They will restock endlessly until 7:00 PM. The sunset view from the rooftop was simply stunning. The quiet Sawada Beach stretching out in front of you, together with the sunset, left a strong impression. There isn’t an on-site restaurant, but you can arrange a private chef or have a BBQ on the terrace. We bought meat from “Sachiya Butcher Shop,” which was recommended by the villa staff, and had a BBQ. If you order in advance, ingredients can also be delivered to your Room (limited to certain shops). The only thing that scared me was seeing a thin long insect poking its head out from between the gaps of the mesh table on the terrace. Because it’s a hollow mesh-style table, I couldn’t tell whether it just happened to be there or if something had taken up residence, so we couldn’t use it afterward. Since lush nature is right in front of the villa—and that’s part of what makes it great—I understand it’s difficult to completely eliminate insects… Also, the walking path from in front of the villa to Sawada Beach is so overgrown that plants brush against your feet if you’re wearing sandals. I’d be happy if it could be trimmed and maintained a bit more. Overall, we were truly very satisfied!! It isn’t cheap, but it’s quiet and you can relax without worrying about others—perfect for enjoying a resort atmosphere at your own pace. It’s ideal for spending an important anniversary with someone special, and it’s a villa I’d gladly recommend to friends as well. Thank you very much.

We stayed for three nights as a family of three. Above all, the location—right in front of the ocean—was incredible. The villa sits along the coastline that continues from Toguchi Beach, and it’s about a 5-minute walk to Toguchi Beach. It’s also less than a 10-minute drive from Irabu Ohashi Bridge, making it a convenient base for sightseeing. The daytime sea was beautiful, and the starry sky at night was amazing too. On a morning after rain, we even saw a huge rainbow over the ocean—an unforgettable view. The time we spent looking out at the sea and rainbow beyond the pool was especially memorable. There’s also a spot in front of the villa that feels like a small private beach. This time we decided not to swim due to an approaching tropical depression, but you can borrow pool items, sand-play toys, and life jackets. We were told that around typhoons, waves can wash away some of the sand and reduce the beach area. The pool is just the right size for families to enjoy together. And what we loved most was the BBQ. We bought our own ingredients and enjoyed lighting charcoal for the first time in ages. Having drinks while BBQing with the ocean right in front of us was unbeatable. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils and basic seasonings, so self-catering is easy. There’s also a water dispenser, complimentary drinks in the fridge, and a washer-dryer with detergent—very convenient for longer stays. Trash can be sorted and left by the entrance in the morning for collection. We also appreciated being able to sleep comfortably on regular beds rather than an extra bed even with three people. There are four beds in total, so we were able to rest well and recover from travel fatigue. The staff were very kind as well. It’s not full-service like a luxury hotel with 24-hour staffing, but during staffed hours they responded quickly whenever we needed something. On our last day they even came outside to see us off despite strong winds and heavy rain—we’re truly grateful. Since it’s summer there are some insects as expected, but insect spray and repellents are provided; we recommend setting them up soon after arrival. Geckos are part of island life too (in a good way). Because priority seems to be given to views, there isn’t much eave overhang; during heavy rain we noticed some raindrop noise against windows at times—but in return, the view from inside is absolutely stunning. The windows have good sound insulation overall; normally you can barely hear waves indoors at all. If anything could be improved, having mats at the entrance or terrace door to brush off sand would be even more convenient. This is a villa where you can stay “as if living,” at your own pace. Our whole family was completely satisfied—it was an amazing 3-night stay!

My son gifted us a trip for my 70th birthday and my darling’s 67th birthday. We had stayed at Allamanda 10 years ago, and this time we chose Splendid, which opened this April. My only regret is that I forgot to bring the Allamanda tote bag back from the room, but it was the most wonderful trip—one we will never forget. I’m filled with gratitude. Thank you so much.

However, the room was very spacious, and we were able to relax in the large bath. The next day was cloudy with brief moments of sunshine when we managed to visit the beach—it was incredibly beautiful. Next time, I hope to fully enjoy the starry sky, ocean, and sunset on a sunny

We stayed here to celebrate a birthday. All of the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and when we mentioned it was for a birthday, they happily helped us out—their warm thoughtfulness truly made our day. The view from the room was just as stunning as in the photos, and the private beach felt completely exclusive, allowing us to fully enjoy Miyakojima’s beautiful ocean. Both breakfast and dinner reflected great care in ingredient selection; every dish was delicious, and we were extremely satisfied. During our stay, we were able to spend quiet, unhurried time without worrying about others, and we could truly relax. As it’s a villa surrounded by nature, there were some insects at times, but we felt that was simply part of being so close to nature. We were satisfied with everything—the scenery, the meals, and the hospitality—and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. It’s a wonderful resort that we would definitely recommend to others. We would love to stay here again when visiting Miyakojima.

Thank you again for having us this year, as you did last year. We chose the same Room with an in-room washing machine. It was very convenient, and we used it many times. The shower room and toilet were spacious and clean. Although it’s a double bed, it’s very relaxing. We also chose the Plan with breakfast again, and we were very satisfied to enjoy a delicious breakfast from the morning. I don’t think it was available last year, but the Awamori tasting comparison was free as well. The staff were kind and welcoming with great smiles. There are several restaurants within walking distance for dinner, which is very convenient. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Their help eased our anxiety during the trip, and we are sincerely grateful. The ocean view from the Room, the sunset, and the stars in the night sky were all wonderful, making this a truly memorable stay. To all of the staff members, thank you very much. This is a Hotel we wou

My spouse and I stayed here after traveling from the main island to watch our grandchild’s sports day. The location was great, and with a supermarket, convenience store, and restaurants right across from the hotel, we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front desk staff were foreign nationals, but they were very friendly and helpful, and it was clear that the hotel’s training is thorough. We would love to stay here again when we visit Miyako.

This was my first time staying for three nights, and everything was great—the service struck the perfect balance of attentiveness and distance. It was a bit pricey, but it’s now on my list of Accommodations I’d like to treat myself to again. If I had to mention one thing, I’d love the meals to have a bit more originality!

The location was excellent, and everything we needed (and more) was provided. The in-room Facilities were great, very clean, and made for a comfortable stay. At check-in, the staff kindly guided us to the private beach and even told us the names of the goats on the property and their family relationships, which was a lovely touch. The outdoor pool was spacious and deep enough, and we were able to relax by the poolside while looking out at the ocean. It became a truly memorable trip to Ishigaki Island.

The Hotel we chose for our first trip to Ishigaki Island Everyone was surprised by how spacious the Room was—it’s a space that makes you think, “Is this what an ideal villa stay feels like?” Since our goal for this trip was simply to relax, choosing UBUFURU was absolutely the right decision. Because they don’t accommodate many guests, we were able to spend quiet, fulfilling time there. Breakfast didn’t have a huge number of items, but that actually let us savor each one carefully. Having a washing machine in the Room made it easy to do laundry at our own pace, and we realized it quietly adds a lot of comfort to the trip. If I had to mention an area for improvement: I would have liked the sauna temperature to be a bit higher. The cold plunge temperature and the outdoor relaxation setup were excellent, so improving this point would make guests even happier! Thank you as well for preparing a BBQ dinner on short notice on our second day. Being able to eat at our own pace with family while looking out at the ocean became a wonderful memory. As mentioned in other Reviews, be careful if you do it in the Room—smells will linger no matter what—so I recommend doing it on the balcony instead. All of the staff maintained just the right distance without being intrusive, while still responding properly whenever we needed something. Thank you very much!

The hall cake we had reserved for the celebration on the first night was delivered at the promised time, allowing us to have a wonderful celebration. The large public bath was also excellent, and we enjoyed bathing together as a group. The garden was beautiful, and we had so m

We also joined the stargazing tour, which lasted for an hour under a sky full of stars. We listened to fascinating stories and even had beautiful photos taken with the moon in the background at the end. It was an incredibly satisfying tour that flew by in no time. We’d love to pa

Being on the third floor, the high ceiling and the view of the villa's red roofs with the ocean beyond were stunning. The room was spacious with a great layout, offering a perfect resort vibe. Small luxuries like welcome beer and onsen ice cream available anytime added to a sense

This was our first trip to Miyakojima, and we stayed here as a couple. From check-in onward, the staff were kind and attentive, and we had a truly comfortable stay. We chose a Plan that included an electric vehicle, which made it easy to explore all around Miyakojima without worrying about fuel—such a huge help. The location is also perfect, with the beach only about 4 minutes away by car. The Room was thoughtfully designed with many practical touches in the Facility, and we were able to relax in complete comfort. At night, the starry sky was incredibly beautiful—we were genuinely moved. We are also very sorry for the trouble we caused on the morning of our last day. Even then, you came right away and treated us with such warmth and kindness when we were feeling anxious—it truly meant so much to us. We can’t thank you enough for your sincere support until the very end. On top of that, all of the staff came out to see us off at departure, and I couldn’t stop crying in the taxi. We found a wonderful place that made us think, “We definitely want to come back to Miyakojima!” When we visit Miyakojima again, we would absolutely love to stay here again. Thank you so much!

This was our second stay, following last year. Spacious and comfortable—our 7- and 5-year-old kids were thrilled and kept saying, “This place is the best!” Last year breakfast was Japanese-style, but this time it was Western-style, which seemed easier for the kids to enjoy.

Ayanna Miyakojima was the hotel I had always wanted to stay at when traveling to Miyakojima. Since it’s such a wonderful property, it was fully booked during Golden Week, but I joined the waitlist and was lucky enough to secure a stay!! A few days before our stay, they called to confirm our arrival time and kindly asked if we were celebrating any special occasion, offering to arrange a cake (for an additional fee). Our stay was just before the rainy season began, and the weather was great. When we opened the door to our room, there was a stylish interior leading out to the pool—and beyond that, a beautiful ocean view. Relaxing on a poolside chair with an Orion beer they had stocked in the fridge was truly the best time!! I’ve stayed in rooms with private pools before—on Okinawa’s main island, on other dates in Miyakojima this trip, and even in Hakone—but personally, Ayanna Miyakojima is my favorite. Breakfast was beautifully set up for us, and the Eggs Benedict was outstanding! One thing to note: everything—from check-in to booking breakfast—was done via smartphone. However, they were very supportive whenever we had questions, so I think even those who aren’t comfortable with technology can feel at ease. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

We stayed in a Room with a private pool at SideB. Both the Room and the pool were spacious, and we were able to relax deeply. The pool, which seems to have been newly built this year, is large enough for serious swimming. All of the Hotel staff were kind, and chatting at the café and during breakfast became one of our highlights. It’s a wonderful Hotel, and we’d love to come back.
