Eighteen rooms, a private open-air bath above the sea, and a kitchen that cooks only what the island gives that morning.
Garan is the word for the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The resort was raised on a cliff at Hyakuna, where the creation goddess Amamikiyo is said to have first set foot on Okinawa, and it was laid out in the same spirit: stone, wood, water and the sea, with nothing in between.
Every room faces the Pacific. On the roof, six private open-air bath rooms look out over the same sea and are free to every guest. Evenings are quiet: the restaurant's last order is at nine, and after that there is only the sound of the waves.
A tatami suite on the fourth floor with a 98 m² private terrace and its own rooftop open-air bath, reached by a staircase inside the room. Named after the Zen monk Hakuin.
Six private bath rooms on the rooftop, each with an open-air bath facing the Pacific. Free for staying guests, from 5:30 in the morning until midnight. Three of the suites have baths of their own as well.
The baths
Kanro means sweet dew. The kitchen works with the fishermen and farmers of Nanjo, Okinawan wagyu and island vegetables, and the court cuisine of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Lunch and dinner are open to non-staying guests by reservation.
Reserve a table
From a light set lunch to the full Sesshin kaiseki. Combine with a private bath for a day visit.
Facial and body treatments with sea-salt scrubs, the spa's own aroma oil and Swiss Perfection skincare, or in a private bath room above the sea.
Spa menu
Board meetings, incentive stays and private celebrations with the whole resort reserved for one group: eighteen rooms, four halls, the baths and the spa.
