HOSHINOYA Okinawa, surrounded by endless ocean scenery is a heavenly paradise where absolute freedom is possible. The seaside resort is located in central Okinawa Island, on the coastal village amidst fields of sugarcane and chrysanthemums, along the rich blue hues of the endless, ornate coastline.

風になびいて揺れるサトウキビの海を越えると現れる沖縄本島中部の海岸線に寄り添うように立つ「星のや沖縄」は、まるで自然界が生み出した現代のパラダイスのような場所。海とともに生きてきた地で、グスクの居館に滞在する。

GUSUKU WALL

Hoshinoya Okinawa - Gusuku Wall

The moment you arrive, a tall wall appears before you. The minimalist modern looking structure that recalls the fortification of ancient castles is known as ‘gusuku’. Scene of herb and vegetable gardens lined by tropical plants greets you as you move forward past the gusuku walls and it is only the sound of waves that are heard from this point on..

そびえる城壁の向こうに 

海岸線に沿ってゆるやかに連なる高い壁は、沖縄に遺る琉球時代のグスク(城)の城壁をモチーフに。壁の向こうへ進むと畑が姿を見せ、草花や木の実が迎えてくれる。
護られるような城壁に囲まれた集落には心地よい波音だけが響き渡る。

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Hoshinoya Okinawa
Hoshinoya Okinawa

An oceanside bastion of natural wonders 

While HOSHINOYA Okinawa occupies a narrow strip of land along the coastline, the guest villas stand right by the coast, and are surrounded by a tall wall modelled after gusuku fortification. The design conveys the idea that the resort is a self-contained space of pure relaxation where guests will find everything they need. Groves, orchards, farms, and gardens inside are all protected from the elements beyond the wall. Footpaths wind through this setting, connecting the pool and other facilities that open up to stunning ocean views.

環境設計〜もしも海岸沿いにグスクがあったならば 

海岸に沿って細長い立地となっている「星のや沖縄」の敷地。
「もしも海岸沿いにグスク(琉球時代の城)があったならば」というイメージから始まったランドスケープ構成は、海沿いには客室棟の壁(建物)、
陸地側にはコンクリート壁を用い、それらをグスクの城壁に見立てたもの。

グスクの城壁内は「外部から守られた安全で快適な場所」を表現していて、
内部に入れば、そこは風などから守られた環境に、林、果樹園、畑、庭園などが広がる、リラックスして滞在することができるスペースに設計されている。

The guest buildings are built low and positioned in a pattern winding along the coastline, allowing man-made structures to blend in with the surrounding environment and an ocean view from each room. The scenery constantly changes, from  Palm trees to Bougainvillea and Hibiscus flowers.

又「海を眺めて暮らす」というコンセプトから、低層に抑えられた客室棟では海を近くに感じる。外観はビーチや緑と一体となったかのような、まるで周辺環境に溶け込んでいるようなデザイン…ヤシ、ブーゲンビリア、ハイビスカスなどの景色にブレンドした植物が育つ。

FEELING THE FLOW OF TIME

Hoshinoya Okinawa
Hoshinoya Okinawa

HOSHINOYA Okinawa is where the soothing sound of waves echo into the rooms, where one can spend hours just pondering and gazing out upon the sea, where one can enjoy a meal, a swim or a nap whenever they want to.

One is always connected to the sea.

The rhythmic crashing of the waves lulls you to sleep and rouses you to awake in the morning.

A tranquil life by the sea.

波の音だけが聞こえる部屋で海をただただ眺め続ける。

充実した時間が優雅に流れだす。

好きな時に食べ、泳ぎ、そして寝る。

寄せては返す波音は眠りを誘い、心地よい朝へと導いてくれる。

「星のや沖縄」

海と過ごす場所。
