The term "cottage" covers a wide range of options, and our current recommendation is a type of cottage that combines the best of both worlds: the private space of a villa with luxurious service.
"Cottage travel" is one of the "new forms of travel" proposed by JAL, which not only allows you to avoid crowds, but also allows everyone to enjoy it in their own way.

[Hotels where you can enjoy a "cottage trip"]
The charm of cottage travel
Many of the cottages have separate buildings for each guest room, ensuring ample private space. In addition, the grounds are spacious, allowing you to enjoy an open resort atmosphere. Not only the rooms, but the outdoor corridors are also spacious, helping to prevent crowding.
In addition, many of the facilities are located in locations surrounded by nature, such as the sea or mountains, so you can always be in touch with the beauty of nature while on the premises. It is the perfect environment to get away from your daily routine and refresh yourself. There are also plenty of activities available that allow you to experience nature to the fullest, making your experience at the sea or in the mountains even more profound.

The cottage is equipped with everything you need for daily life, so you can stay as if you were living there. You can enjoy your free time doing what you want, when you want. Although it is a villa-like space, it offers the same luxurious service as a resort hotel, so it is also recommended for those who want to spend a luxurious time.
[Okuma Private Beach & Resort] A spacious private space surrounded by the sea and greenery of Yanbaru, Okinawa


Okuma Private Beach & Resort is located in the Yanbaru area, in the northernmost part of Okinawa's main island, about a two-hour drive from Naha Airport. On the other side of the road from the front building, surrounded by greenery and full of tropical atmosphere, is a private beach and pool where you can enjoy the white sand and blue sea to your heart's content.

After checking in at the front desk, where disinfectant and splash prevention boards are fully equipped and staff are wearing masks (currently mouth shields), we felt very safe and headed to our cottage.

The resort was redeveloped on land that was used as a health resort during the US military occupation of Okinawa, and is maintained daily by about 10 gardening staff, giving it an atmosphere reminiscent of an American resort. The cottages are spaced far apart, so privacy is naturally maintained and you can relax.

The "Garden Villa", which was just renovated in April this year, is based on the concept of "luxurious time experienced with all five senses". The interior of the cottage is based on wood-grain furniture, with blue accents reminiscent of the sea, creating a resort atmosphere.


There is also a large wall-mounted TV in front of the large sofa in the living/dining room, so you'll likely spend a lot of time relaxing here.

After the renovation, a new plan was introduced that allows Garden Villa guests to use the lounge. In this "Sea Breeze Lounge," you can enjoy free drinks, sweets, antipasti, and more while looking out at the outlying islands of Okuma Beach and Kouri Island.
