Halekulani Okinawa in Okinawa 904-0401, open JanuaryDecember.

Halekulani Okinawa stands apart as the only ultra-luxury beachfront resort in Okinawa operated by a hotel brand with over 100 years of heritage, offering direct access to pristine private beaches and authentic Ryukyuan cultural integration rather than generic tropical settings.

The property's 17-acre oceanfront estate provides multiple ceremony and reception venues with unobstructed views of the East China Sea, while maintaining the intimate service standards that distinguish it from larger destination competitors.

We would give the Halekulani Okinawa 6 stars if we could! Everything about our stay was a dream. The room is the most fantastic room we have every stayed in: spacious, spotless, incredible view, sexy, well designed, great amenities. The breakfast in the morning is an incredible way to start the day: buffet had a ton of options. The various pools were great to explore different vibes, moving from the beach to the sunset view pool at the end of the day was a great strategy. It is walkable to dinner options off premises which was a nice bonus. Turn down service every night left us a little gift and fresh pajamas. It was true bliss from start to finish.
