During my trip to Okinawa, I stayed at “Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach,” and I’d like to share my stay report.

“Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach” is a resort hotel located in Itoman City, Okinawa, just a 20-minute drive from Naha Airport.

Most of Okinawa’s renowned resort hotels are situated in the central and northern areas of the island, requiring over an hour of travel via rental car or highway bus.

This time, I stayed at “Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach,” a luxury resort hotel notable for its convenient location just 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport. I had been interested in this hotel since its opening. In fact, I traveled to and from the hotel by taxi and, thanks to light traffic, the journey took less than 20 minutes.

After staying at “Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach,” here are three aspects that particularly impressed me:

1. Convenient access—just 20 minutes from Naha Airport
2. Ocean-view guest rooms
3. Ocean-view guest rooms

In this stay report, I’ll primarily use photos to convey the atmosphere of the hotel.

Convenient Access: Just 20 Minutes from Naha Airport to Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach

“Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach” is a resort hotel in Itoman City, Okinawa, located about 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport near the southernmost tip of Okinawa’s main island.

As a newly developed hotel, the surrounding area is largely residential and agricultural land. With restaurants and shops located on the hotel grounds, it’s a self-contained resort, meaning there’s little need to venture outside for amenities.

Inside the Twin Ocean View Room: A High-Floor Retreat

I stayed in a Twin Room. While the room is 34 square meters, the ocean view and open layout make it feel more spacious than its size suggests.

The Twin Room is located in the hotel’s “North Wing.” I was fortunate to stay on the 11th floor, the top floor.

The Twin Room offers a relaxed and spacious atmosphere. The bedroom features two beds, a sofa set by the window, and a desk along the wall.

The beds were semi-double beds, each 120 cm wide.

The wall behind the beds is decorated with a wave pattern, adding a touch of luxury.

Across from the beds, there’s a work desk and a TV.

This is a photo taken from the window side, looking toward the entrance. The room feels spacious overall.

Here’s the bedside lighting and control panel.

In addition to regular power outlets, USB charging ports are also provided. (However, the ticking sound of the analog clock on the bedside table was quite noticeable. Since it’s placed next to the bed, a silent clock might be a better choice.)

This is the sofa set placed by the window. As I’ll describe later, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the ocean view.

The work desk provides ample space.

An espresso machine was placed on the top shelf in the room.

The availability of decaffeinated coffee was a thoughtful touch, especially for enjoying coffee at night.

Glassware was stored in the upper drawer of the shelf.

The middle drawer contained teacups and tea bags.

The bottom drawer housed an electric kettle and an ice bucket, both in sleek black.

Next to the drawer, there was a refrigerator. The room did not include a minibar, and the fridge was empty. (Drinks and alcohol can be purchased at the shop on the first floor.)

An open-style closet is located beside the entrance, equipped with hangers and a deodorizing spray.

The lower drawer contained a two-piece swimsuit set.

A foldable luggage rack and fluffy slippers were also provided.

Here’s the floor plan of the 11th floor, where I stayed. You can see many guest rooms lined up. The hallways were quite long, so it took a while to walk from the elevator to the room.

Stunning Ocean Views from Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach

One of the highlights of “Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach” is the spectacular ocean view.

The ocean was visible from the room at all times, offering a soothing experience. This view alone made the stay worthwhile.

From the balcony, you can also see the hotel’s pool and beach. There was even a wedding taking place during my stay.

The balcony was furnished with two chairs, providing a comfortable spot to relax outdoors. Although it was February, the weather felt like early summer and was very pleasant.

Planes landing at Naha Airport could be seen up close, offering endless entertainment while gazing outside.

All the hotel rooms face west, offering an ocean view, allowing guests to witness stunning sunsets over the sea.

From early afternoon to evening, I enjoyed the beautiful changes in the colors of the sky and the sea.

At night, the pool was illuminated, creating a stunning visual effect.

The soap, body wash, and shampoo were from the brand “Miller Harris,” which I discovered is a luxury fragrance brand based in London.

Underneath the sink, bathrobes, a hairdryer, and bath towels were neatly stored.

Relaxing at the Outdoor Pools and Beach

Since my stay was in late February, the outdoor pools were not yet open, but I was able to walk around the poolside.

The hotel features variously shaped pools. With six different pools, it’s considered one of the largest pool facilities in Okinawa.

The pools seamlessly connect to the beach.

The hotel also features a wedding venue.

Although I didn’t use them this time, the hotel also has an indoor pool, a spa, and a fitness gym.

Dining Experiences at “MILANO” and “Sanraku”

I had dinner at a restaurant called “MILANO.”

Three restaurants were located within the same area.

“MILANO” was located at the far end.

Since there were other guests present, I didn’t take photos inside, but the restaurant exuded luxury.

There were three course menus available. I chose the “Vista Mare” course, priced at 13,500 yen, and will share the details through photos.

First, the amuse-bouche.

“Chilled seafood appetizer with a smoked finish.”

“Grilled white fish with risotto and seasonal sauce.”

Bread was served.

“Roast-grilled Japanese beef (MILANO cut) with gravy sauce, béarnaise sauce, and horseradish cream.”

For the steak side dish, I could choose from six different ingredients to create a custom plate.

Finally, there was a “Seasonal Dessert Wagon,” where you could pick as many desserts as you wanted.

I chose tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and macarons.

Both the meat and fish dishes were plentiful, so I was quite full by the time I got to the dessert.

On another day, I wanted a lighter meal, so I had dinner at a restaurant called “Sanraku.” This casual eatery offers not only soba but also Okinawan dishes.

A Morning Feast at “Buffet Dining Nashiro”

Breakfast is served in “Nashiro,” a buffet-style restaurant.

The buffet offered such a wide variety of dishes that I ate enough to skip lunch.
