Our Inspector's Highlights
- Try the locally sourced ingredients that give Okinawans such vigor. Look out for traditional favorites like green papaya, mozuku seaweed, Okinawan spinach and goya (bitter gourd) at the breakfast buffet.
- After a consultation with a therapist, you’ll have opportunity to choose a customized series of treatments to rejuvenate your body and soul at Wellness Thalasso spa.
- Okinawa is surrounded by beautiful coral reefs. There’s a scuba diving center onsite for the adventurous, but you can also view the sea life at the underwater observatory or take a glass-bottomed boat tour, all available at the main resort.
- The rooms offer delightful Okinawan touches, including complimentary sesame biscotti snacks, local brown sugar and bougainvillea bath salts.
- Easily accessible from the northern end of the expressway, the hotel is also a great base to explore local sights. The Churaumi Aquarium and Nakijin Castle are less than an hour away, while Cape Manza is a 20-minute drive from the resort.
Things to Know
- The Terrace Club does not allow children under the age of 13. This helps maintain an atmosphere of calm throughout this small corner of the resort.
- The main outdoor pool is closed November through March, but the heated Thalasso spa pool remains open all year. The Okinawa hotel provides coverings for those with visible tattoos.
- The hotel is busiest during the Japanese holidays of Golden Week (end of April to early May), Obon (mid-August) and New Year’s Eve. Book well in advance if you plan to stay during these dates.
- As a guest of The Terrace Club, you’ll also enjoy access to all the facilities at the main resort, including the pools, tennis courts and beach.

The Rooms
- The beach-chic rooms feature a cream color palette and wooden furniture with large sliding doors that allow the ocean breezes to flow inside.
- In Japan, couples tend to prefer side-by-side twin beds (also called Hollywood twin), and that’s what you’ll find in each room at the luxury hotel. No rooms offer king mattresses.
- The two-person lounger on the balcony is the place to relax and watch the sunset. Ocean-view rooms offer bonus vistas of the calm azure waters of Nago Bay.
- Rooms have a Nespresso machine and a selection of herbal teas. The 47-inch LCD television has Japanese and some English cable channels, or you can simply request a movie to pop into your Blu-ray player.
