"On a small Okinawan island, this resort clusters 48 red-roofed villas around coral-sand dunes and shady lanes. Villas feature large soaking tubs, day beds, and stone walls for privacy; local touches include Shisa lion motifs, fresh shikuwasa juice, and live Okinawan music sessions. Guests can stroll white-sand Kaji Beach with its star-shaped grains of sand, swim in a sunken oval pool, and enjoy spectacular night skies near an International Dark Sky Park." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
