Fast growing luxury hotel group Rosewood has just opened its newest resort, and it’s one that I’m really intrigued by.
Basics of the Rosewood Miyakojima
The Rosewood Miyakojima has opened as of March 1, 2025, marking the brand’s entry to the Japanese market.
Now, many people are probably wondering what Miyakojima is. When a luxury international hotel brand opens its first property in Japan, you might expect it to be in Tokyo, or Kyoto, or Osaka. This property is located on Miyako Island, part of the city of Miyakojima, in the Okinawa Prefecture. This area is known for its beautiful beaches and scenery.
To visit the resort, you’d want to fly into Miyakojima Airport (MMY), which has multiple daily flights from Tokyo, Osaka, and beyond. Domestic flights within Japan don’t get much longer than this, as the flight from Tokyo Haneda covers 1,139 miles, and takes around 2.5 hours. From the airport, it’s around a 20-minute drive to the resort.
What should guests expect from the Rosewood Miyakojima? The 55-key property is a beach resort located on a secluded peninsula, surrounded on three sides by white sand beaches, dramatic rock formations, and ocean vistas. The water in the area is known for its coral reefs and sea turtles.
Entry level accommodations at the resort range from the 645 square foot (60 square meter) Ocean View Villa, to the 2,152 square foot (200 square meter) Kamii House. All accommodations have private pools.
As far as other amenities go, guests can expect a large wellness area with an Asaya Spa and fitness center, four restaurants and bars, and a kids club, among other things.
Rosewood highlights how beyond the resort, there are an abundance of picturesque sites, from the natural stone arch of nearby Sunayama beach, to the lighthouse at Higashi-Hennazaki Cape (a nationally designated “Place of Scenic Beauty”), to the seven kilometer stretch of Yonaha Maehama, regularly ranked as Japan’s best beach, and renowned for its sunsets.
Japan is just about my favorite place in the world to travel to, so I’m mighty intrigued by this property, as I’ve never really considered going to a beach resort in Japan. But if you can combine nice views with Japanese service, food, and culture, that kind of sounds like a dream.
Rosewood Miyakojima rates & how to book
What are rates like at the Rosewood Miyakojima? Luxury hotel pricing has of course increased considerably in recent years, though fortunately for international travelers, the Japanese Yen is quite weak. Despite the weak Japanese Yen, a stay at this property will cost you a pretty penny.
Rates for base rooms tend to by around 160,000 to 250,000 JPY per night ($1,050 to $1,650), before taxes and fees, depending on the season and specific date. Thanks to an opening offer, you can receive a 20,000 to 50,000 JPY ($130 to $330) property credit, depending on the type of accommodate you book.
When it comes to looking up rates, I appreciate that Rosewood’s website has a rate calendar, allowing you to easily compare costs for months at a time.
You’re best off booking Rosewood properties through a Rosewood Elite travel advisor, as that’s typically going to be the best deal, as it stacks with whatever promotions are being offered directly online. This won’t cost you anything extra, and a Rosewood Elite agent will be able to add extra perks for your stay. What value can a Rosewood Elite travel advisor add?
- Daily breakfast for up to two people per bedroom
- Complimentary one-category room upgrade upon arrival (based on availability)
- A welcome amenity and note
- Additional property specific elite enhanced amenities, which vary by property; these may include a $100 credit per stay
Ford and his team are happy to help with these requests, and can be reached at [email protected]. A few further things to note:
- Rosewood Elite perks can be combined with whatever promotion Rosewood is offering on its website directly, including the opening offer
- Booking through Rosewood Elite is better than booking through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®, because upgrades are prioritized through Rosewood’s own proprietary program
Bottom line
The Rosewood Miyakojima has opened as of March 2025, marking the brand’s first property in Japan. How cool to see Rosewood opening a luxury beach resort in Japan, as that’s not something you see a whole lot of, at least from international brands. I’m intrigued by this property, so I’m curious if any OMAAT readers have visited Miyakojima, and if so, what you thought?
