On a remote island paradise in Okinawa, Rosewood Miyakojima will mark Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ first Japanese property, offering exceptional luxury amidst untouched nature. Opening on March 1, 2025, the resort has begun accepting reservations, inviting travelers to explore an unseen side of Japan while pioneering a new era of ultra-luxury hospitality on Miyakojima.
Nestled amidst sugarcane fields in the north of the island and overlooking Oura Bay with direct access to a pristine beach, the resort has 55 guest accommodations, each with breathtaking views of Miyakojima’s famous pristine waters. Embodied by Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy, the architecture of the resort draws from the history, landscape and culture of the Ryukyu Islands, blending indigenous Okinawan materials such as Ryukyu limestone with the Japanese spirit of wabi-sabi.
Designed by acclaimed Dutch architect Studio Piet Boon, Rosewood Miyakojima is built in sustainable harmony with the natural environment, making use of the original terrain and partnering with the local community while bringing Rosewood’s unparalleled standard of luxury hospitality to the island.
The resort features four restaurants and bars spanning Japanese and international cuisine, an infinity pool by the beach and an Asaya Spa, Rosewood’s pioneering wellbeing concept, complete with six treatment rooms, a yoga studio and fitness center. A private pavilion overlooking the ocean will house weddings and special occasions, while families will find enriching experiences at the Rosewood Explorers Club, designed to create unforgettable memories for younger guests.
