Stretching nearly a mile down the stunning white sand coastline of Japan’s Okinawa island, Halekukani Okinawa is located in the picturesque Onna Village and surrounded by the subtropical paradise of Kaigan Quasi-National Park. Okinawa is set in a Blue Zone and known for its vitality. The second outpost of Hawaii’s Halekulani brand, Halekulani Okinawa opened in 2019. There are five pools on the property, though the crowning jewel is the spectacular Orchid Pool, which is embellished with 1.5 million sparkling mosaic tiles. The resort has 310 guest rooms and 45 suites, all equipped with private balconies overlooking the stunning emerald sea. There are also five spacious private villas (either one or two-bedroom) dotted along the property’s clifftop. The interiors were done by the world-renowned Champalimaud Design, with sleek, minimalistic décor and just seven shades of white for the color scheme. With four signature restaurants and a chic cocktail bar, guests can gaze out at the majestic Okinawa sunset while sipping one of Halekulani’s signature mai tais.Halekulani Okinawa offers an array of activities and excursions for guests to enjoy. There is a large selection of cultural classes, diving and snorkeling tours, cruises and more available for guests.
