5 Newly Opened Hotels In Asia You Should Check Into Right Now

IRAPH SUI, Miyako Okinawa

A stunning seafront property that overlooks the warm pristine waters of Japan’s southern Okinawa islands, IRAPH SUI, part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, is nestled in natural greenery and lushly landscaped gardens on Irabu Island, 300km south-west of Okinawa’s main island.

Luxuriously appointed guest rooms offer a complete set of amenities and private balconies with views of the white sandy beach and azure ocean, with several suites also featuring private pools. The clean, crisp interior design of the hotel and guest rooms showcase motifs of island elements, including minsah weaving, the traditional Okinawan textile and crafts inspired by the surrounding coral reefs.

The hotel’s indigenous spa, SUI Spa, offers a diverse range of treatments that incorporate natural Okinawan products, such as a local salt blended for body scrubs and kucha, a mineral-rich deep sea mud. Irabu Island is part of the Miyako Islands that are known for beautiful white-sand beaches, clear warm water and exceptional diving experiences among unique underwater volcanic rock formations shaped over millions of years, majestic Ryukyu limestone arches, vivid coral reefs and colourful marine life.

Irabu Island itself is blessed with beautiful nearby coral reefs, primeval forests and a rich historic culture. Visitors can enjoy nearby excursions including visiting Toguchinohama Beach, known for its flour-like sand, Sawada Beach, famed for its unique landscape with large boulders resulting from a tsunami in 1771 and the iconic Irabu Bridge, the longest free bridge in Japan.
