Hoshinoya Taketomi Island
1955 Taketomi, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
48 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Secluded
The Hoshinoya hotel group is nothing if not diverse, encompassing a skyscraper in Tokyo, a riverside resort outside of Kyoto, and a ryokan-style hotel in the Nagano mountains. What they have in common is a devotion to both contemporary luxury and Japanese hospitality tradition. Hoshinoya Taketomi Island adapts the concept to a beachfront resort on a small Okinawan island — a resort that’s styled after a traditional village, red tiled roofs and all, in order to comply with the island’s strict adherence to heritage architecture.
Thankfully, no such code pertains to the hotel’s interiors. Hoshinoya’s designers always keep the local traditions in mind, but here, as elsewhere, they’ve applied a contemporary hand. Each pavilion is a self-contained unit, some with tatami-style furniture and others Western, and all of them with vast windows open to the air, as well as deep, restful soaking tubs.
The presence of a spa may be taken for granted, and here it’s joined by an outdoor pool and a beautiful white-sand beach. The island itself is remarkably undisturbed — you’ll arrive by boat, and you’ll get around on carts drawn by water buffalo. And, like the other Hoshinoya hotels, this one features an extraordinary restaurant, helmed by chef Tatsuo Nakasu, whose “Nouvelle Ryukyu” cuisine projects Okinawan tradition through a French prism.
