With views that change from moment to moment, the beauty of the resort is sure to inspire the photographer in you
A wonderful place to watch the evening sky
Situated at the highest point in the grounds, the Entrance offers a sweeping of the entire resort. The path from the Entrance to the Restaurant Building is a wonderful place to watch the evening sky turn red. Why not take a walk there before dinner?
Open｜7.00am to 7.00pm
A fine view and soothing scents
Facing the ocean, the Reception Lounge terrace is one of the resort’s most photogenic spots. Visitors are greeted by the soothing scent of original essential oils based on geraniums and other flowers grown in Ginoza Village.
Opening hours | 8.00am to 11.00pm
* The Reception Lounge is the place to buy craft products and original hotel merchandise, make spa and activity appointments, ask about local tourism, or book a taxi.
* There is also a self-service laundrette with washer-dryers, and swimwear dryers.
Art from Okinawa and around the world
A collection of decorative and fine art is displayed around the hotel, including Ryukyu glass by master craftsman Seikichi Inamine, whose colours, changing according to the light, recall the ocean at Ginoza; flower vases by Shiro Tsujimura; calligraphy by Yuuna Okanishi; lithographs by Toulouse Lautrec and Matisse; photographs by Jacques-Henri Lartigue; and furniture by George Nakashima.
Moon, stars and sunrise: enjoy the show at the poolside
The Infinity Pool occupies a central location within the resort, and is the perfect spot to view the ocean, the moon and stars at night, or the sunrise. It’s worth getting up around half an hour before dawn, to watch as the colour of the eastern sky gradually changes.
* Food and beverages from the Café can be served at the poolside dining tables.
A nature walk by the by sea
The beach next to the hotel is home to hermit crabs and is sometimes visited by sea turtles. At full moon, the glittering “moon road” across the waves is a magical sight – you may even want to book your stay around those dates.
Open | 6.00am to 10.00pm (The beach has no artificial lighting)
* Please note that the beach is not private to the hotel. For this reason, there is no marked-out swimming area, and no beach amenities such as parasols are provided.
* As the sand is coarse, we recommend wearing the beach sandals provided in your guest room.
