This white villa is reminiscent of Mykonos Island in Greece, located in the southern part of Kouri Island, about an hour and a half drive from Naha Airport. 38-61㎡, sleeping up to 5 people, this luxurious villa has a rooftop terrace and an infinity heated pool.
Point 1: What is the overview of “yuki suite kourijima”?
Yuki suite kourijima” is a six-room villa-type hotel built on a small hill in the southern part of Kourijima. Each villa is named after a Greek island, such as Mykonos, Santorini, or Crete, and the exterior is pure white like the white houses of Greece.
The contrast with the bright blue sea in the distance is wonderful!
The villas range in size from 38 to 61 square meters. There are two types of villas: one with an open-air bath and the other with a private pool.
The private pool is heated from early November to mid-April, so you can swim even in winter.
The interior decor is like that of a hotel on a Greek island, with a chic interior that matches the white walls.
The high-quality furnishings and fabrics, including a well-chosen glass table.
With sofa beds on the terrace and a gazebo on the rooftop in some rooms, you can see that they have done their utmost to make sure guests can enjoy their stay to their heart’s content.
Point 2: The design of “yuki suite kourijima
The design of “yuki suite kourijima” is a bit particular.
First, to evoke Greek houses, right angles have been eliminated and the corners have been rounded to create soft curves.
The higher the ceiling is, the more open it feels.
The care taken to make the electrical appliances, such as air conditioners and TVs, discreetly “niches” and embedded in the walls is also heartbreaking.
By lowering the height of the open-air bath and infinity pool on the terrace below the height of the villa floor, the view is not disturbed, and the water table and the ocean overlap the line of sight as you soak in the bath or pool, creating a sense of unity.
Furthermore, by selecting “single-pane glass” for all windows except those that open onto the terrace, you can enjoy a more spectacular view even when you are at the washbasin or in bed.
Point 3: The interior design of “yuki suite kourijima
yuki suite kourijima” has furniture by many famous designers.
One of them is Muneyoshi Yanagi, one of the most famous industrial designers in Japan. The glass table made by this designer costs about 160,000 yen. It is a very suitable selection for the villa, which dares to stick to curved lines in its design.
The other is Tom Dixon, a British interior brand that handles lighting, furniture, fragrances, and home accessories.
Strangely shaped silver lighting (approx. 200,000 yen) hangs from the ceiling. When not lit, it is a mass of silver, but when lit, it reflects light diffusely due to its snoring.
It is amazing how far they are willing to go in pursuit of an interior design that fits this villa!
