IRAPH SUI, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Miyako Okinawa

On Irabu Island, southwest of Okinawa and tied to the Miyako Islands. This beachfront hotel sits by white-sand beaches and clear blue seas, with Makiyama Observatory and Sawada Beach just a short drive away. Steps from the Ryukyu Islands, it’s an ideal base for sea-focused island escapes.

A boutique resort with 58 guestrooms and suites, many with ocean-view balconies or terraces. Select rooms include private pools or whirlpools and thoughtful in-room perks like refrigerators and flat screens. The on-site spa blends sand, sun and sea into its treatments for a distinctly Miyakojima vibe. Expect simple, modern decor and wake-up-to-sea-breeze mornings.

Outdoor pool, fitness center and a spa that uses local sand and sea-inspired therapies. Lobby bar for drinks and a concierge to arrange island activities. Free self-parking, 24-hour front desk, laundry service and elevator keep stays easy. Private whirlpools and terraces add a touch of seclusion for select rooms.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property to keep you connected.

On-site restaurant serves gourmet dishes featuring wagyu, pork, fresh fish and island vegetables — think local seafood and Miyakojima flavors. Grab cocktails at the lobby bar or order room service during limited hours.
