“A luxury hotel offering a tranquil hideaway (despite its size) on the shores of Okinawa. Minimalist suites are designed to take in the sea views and boast kitchenettes for chef-prepared meals. The spa offers nature-led treatments and there are a host of activities from karate to beach horseriding.”
