About Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa
Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa is located at the entrance to the World Heritage Site "Yambaru National Park" and has easy access both to the north and to the central and southern areas of the island. All of the guest rooms have ocean views and are at least a spacious 44.6㎡.
We will introduce details of the new attractions following the renovation as well as recommended ways to spend your time at the hotel.
Access to Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa
Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa is located 7km from the expressway exit, an hour from the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and 20 minutes from Manzamo in Onna Village. There are many tourist facilities and sightseeing spots around the hotel, making it the perfect starting point for your trip.
From here, we will introduce the specific access methods to the hotel.
① Travel by limousine bus from Naha Airport
If you are coming from outside the prefecture and traveling via Naha Airport, we recommend taking the limousine bus that runs directly from the airport.
The one-way trip takes 2 hours and 10 minutes, and the fare is 2,140 yen for adults and 1,070 yen for children.
Since it is a direct limousine bus, there is no need to worry about taking the wrong route.
② Travel by public transportation
If you choose to use public transportation, you can use route buses or taxis.
If you are traveling by bus, get on at the "Domestic Passenger Terminal Front" bus stop at Naha Airport and get off at the "Ibube" bus stop. From the bus stop, it is an 8-minute walk to the hotel.
In addition, our hotel is also running a campaign where customers who use public transportation to get to the hotel will receive a 2,000 yen voucher for use within the hotel. Just show your receipt or the payment screen on your smartphone when you check in to receive the voucher, so please give it a try.
③ Travel by rental car
The hotel can also be accessed by rental car from Naha Airport.
If you take the Okinawa Expressway from Naha Airport, it will take about 70 minutes one way. If you take National Route 58, it will take about 90 minutes to get to the hotel.
All rooms have ocean views! Choose the room type that best suits your needs
All of the ocean view rooms at Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa were renovated and reborn in April 2024. There are four main types of rooms, each with its own unique features and perks.
From here, we will introduce the room specifications and recommended points.
"Superior Room" (44.6 - 68.4 m2)
The "Superior Rooms" are divided into three types: Superior, High Floor Superior, and Superior Grande. Each room has an inner terrace, so you can have the lush nature all to yourself.
The two beds are pushed together from the start, making it perfect for co-sleeping with your child. Both rooms are flat, so even babies who are crawling or standing up can feel safe. The largest Superior Grande room is equipped with a washer/dryer, making it recommended for long-term stays.
"Club Room" (44.6-68.4㎡)
There are three types of "Club Rooms": Club Room, Club Corner, and Club Ocean. The biggest feature of these rooms is that they come with access to the "Club Lounge" exclusively for guests, and free use of the spa.
Upon check-in, you will be treated to a welcome drink of seasonal drink or champagne, and you can check out as late as 12:00, ensuring an elegant stay.
Like the Superior Rooms, all rooms have an inner terrace. In the Club Corner, you can enjoy the magnificent lush nature through two glass windows, and from Club Ocean, you can enjoy a panoramic view from the hotel's upper floors.
"Suite Room" (64.9-109㎡)
Like the Club Room, the Suite Room comes with access to the Club Lounge, which is exclusively available to guests, as well as free use of the spa, and is larger than the Club Room.
The six types of "suite rooms" are all spacious and luxurious. With a relaxing living area, a terrace where you can feel the sea breeze, and a view bath with a view of the great outdoors below, you can enjoy an extraordinary luxury experience.
"Universal Room" (46.3m²)
"Universal Rooms" are spacious rooms designed with wheelchair access in mind. They are designed to be wheelchair accessible and convenient for the elderly, with handrails installed in the toilet, bathtub, and shower room, and sliding doors.

6 Different Swimming Pools for Adults and Children
The hotel has six pools including a kids' pool, and an indoor pool. The Garden Pool is 170 meters long, and the premises are equipped with private cabanas and deck areas with great views.
Full Day of Fun in the Vast 170m Long Garden Pool
The Garden Pool has six outdoor pools stretching out for a total length of 170m. They are free for use for all of our hotel guests.
The variety includes cabanas (for a usage fee) at the poolside, two vibrating baths with bubbles like a jacuzzi, a pool with a water slide, and a heated pool with a temperature suitable for the season. Because the hotel is located on the side of a hill, you can enjoy the lush nature and spectacular ocean views.
There are endless ways to have fun at the pool, such as riding the 47.5m long water slide, sunbathing while sipping a drink, or watching the sunset over the East China Sea.
When the sun goes down, the atmosphere of the pool changes completely. The water's surface is illuminated with sparkling lights, creating a fantastical scene.
The pool is open until 9pm. In summer, you can swim until 10pm.
Kid-Friendly Pools for Small Children
The outdoor Kids' Pool is a 60cm deep pool that even small children can safely use. There is also a small slide available for children who are too small to use the big water slide.
There is terrace seating nearby, so you can enjoy swimming in the pool while taking frequent breaks.
The hotel has an indoor pool where you can go directly from your room in your swimsuit. Children who are still in diapers can use the pool as long as they are wearing swim diapers. It's a perfect place for your child to make their pool debut.
Swim diapers are sold at the Garden Pool reception, so you don't have to worry about bringing extra luggage.
Multicultural Dinner Options from Japanese, Chinese to Western
The hotel has a variety of restaurants, including a full-scale buffet and a yakiniku restaurant. All restaurants use the theme "Eat Okinawa," where freshly cooked meals made with Okinawan ingredients are served from an open kitchen.
