Inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the wellness treatments at Rosewood Miyakojima offer insight into the life-enhancing traditions of the region, rooted in a reverence for nature. With six private treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room, a hydrotherapy facility, and an atelier featuring luxury skincare, this tranquil oasis invites you to unwind and renew, beginning with a Welcome Foot Ritual featuring Miyakojima’s mineral-rich snow salt.

Restaurant

Inviting you to immerse your senses in the sea.

In Okinawa, salt is seen as a gift from the sea. Taking the Okinawan word for this life-giving element, MAAS reminds us that the best ingredients are often the simplest. Here, the taste of fresh seafood intertwines with the salty breeze, inviting you to immerse your senses in the sea. Nagi, on the other hand, brings authentic Italian cuisine to Miyakojima, honoring the culinary secrets of Italy in a Japanese island setting and celebrating Japan and Italy’s shared history of longevity. Named for the serene calm of the sea, each dish at Nagi is conceived to inspire health and happiness in a place where time slows down and good company thrives.
Bar

Surrender to the soothing pace of island life.

YUKUU, meaning “relaxation” in the Miyakojima dialect, is a word deeply rooted in the island’s culture; it also lends its name to the hotel's laid-back poolside bar. Watch the sunlight dance on the water, sip on a refreshing TIKI cocktail or spritz, and surrender to the soothing pace of island life.
