About an hour and a half drive from Naha Airport. This luxury hotel, opening in July 2021, is located on Kouri Island, which is in the northeastern part of Okinawa’s main island but can be reached surprisingly quickly due to the well-developed expressway.
Surrounded by the ocean, it has a 360-degree ocean view! The reviews are an astounding 5 out of 5! Some even say that to experience a true resort, you have to be on a remote island.
Point 1: One Suite THE GRAND, perfect for anniversaries! The service is amazing.
The service at One Suite THE GRAND is just amazing. The staff is always looking out for the guests in only 22 guest rooms.
For example, when I went jogging in the morning and came back home, they quickly offered me a cold hand towel, or when I arrived late at night, they graciously served me dinner that I had not planned to have at the hotel.
It’s nice that the service is not intrusive, but rather, it’s in a way that you don’t feel like you’re being forced to stay away from them.
I like that there are so many repeat guests who come here for their honeymoon or anniversary and say, “I want to come back to this hotel again! No wonder there are so many repeat guests who come here for their honeymoon or anniversary and say, “I want to come back to this hotel again!
Point 2: One Suite THE GRAND, not only the rooms, but also the furniture and amenities are amazing!
One Suite THE GRAND’s rooms are 40 square meters, even the smallest “Ocean Front” room. The terrace is 8.5 square meters.
As the name suggests, the rooms overlook the ocean, and the abundant use of wood, beige and brown fabrics, and décor create a relaxing and calm atmosphere.
The furniture and amenities have been carefully selected, including Marshall speakers and Replonizer hair dryers, which will impress any adult who knows what they are doing.
The bathrooms also have double sinks and large-diameter rainforest showers, just like an overseas resort hotel.
This grade of the hotel can only be found in Okinawa, Japan.
Point 3: One Suite THE GRAND, 1 Michelin star restaurant is amazing!
One Suite THE GRAND restaurant is the first restaurant on Kouri Island, Okinawa, by “La BOMBANCE,” a Michelin-starred restaurant with its main branch in Nishi-Azabu for 10 consecutive years. La BOMBANCE” means “feast” in French, but it is a creative Japanese restaurant.
The reason why he chose the French name for the restaurant is because he wants to transcend genres.
The owner-chef has taken on an executive chef who has caught the attention of the owner-chef and is creating dishes like works of art every day while making the most of local ingredients in Kouri Island, Okinawa.
