A sleepy island of just 350 residents is the setting for Hoshinoya's reimagining of a traditional Ryukyu village, with coral-stone walls and red-tiled roofs. Single-storey villas blend Okinawan architecture with tatami mats and deep soaking tubs; the pool mirrors the shape of a local well. The Island Terroir menu showcases ingredients through refined Ryukyu culinary tradition. Days go to sabani boat rides and water buffalo cart watching.

9:11 AM
Listen carefully to the sound of the breeze through the palms, swapping your alarm for an island wake-up call. Have breakfast on your terrace – a Japanese omelette and a coffee, keep it simple.
10:32 AM
Kondoi Beach is one of the island’s prettiest white-sand stretches. Swim, read and hit play on the playlist.
12:43 PM
Kanifu is all about island ingredients, made in-house. It’s the perfect spot to taste true Okinawa flavours – including a pork sauté or one of the curries.
3:21 PM
Head back to the village and visit the Taketomi Folklore Museum, or simply wander through the coral-sand lanes. Drop by a small craft shop to discover Yachimun pottery and handwoven textiles. Maybe even take a slow ride on a water buffalo cart, guided by a local playing the sanshin (a three-string lute).
6:26 PM
Join in on the hotel’s sunset sabani sail – a wooden Okinawan boat that drifts across calm waters as the sky fades from gold to rose. Bring a camera.
8:30 PM
Start with an awamori cocktail at the open-air lounge, barefoot on the sand. Then head back for dinner – either at the restaurant or a private, candle-lit meal in your villa’s garden. End the night listening to sanshin music or a little stargazing.
