Okinawa is a popular destination among international travelers. Miyakojima, located southwest of Okinawa’s main island, is a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Compared with Okinawa’s main island, Miyakojima boasts richer natural beauty, and time here flows at a more leisurely pace. With its vivid blue seas and soft, white sand, it truly captures the atmosphere of a tropical resort.

When Hong Kong Express’s direct flights are available, it takes only two hours and fifteen minutes to travel from Hong Kong to Miyakojima, making it easy to enjoy this tropical island escape.

For stays in Miyakojima, Shigira Seven Miles Resort is an excellent choice.

When visiting Miyakojima, Shigira Seven Miles Resort—a large-scale resort stretching about 11 kilometres along the island’s southern coastline—is what we would recommend.

What sets Shigira Seven Miles Resort apart is that it is an expansive seaside resort bringing a wide range of facilities together.

It offers eight hotels with distinct concepts—from luxury to relaxed style—and more than 30 restaurants showcasing Miyakojima’s ingredients.
With beaches, infinity pools, golf courses, and natural hot springs... the resort makes for a rich and fulfilling stay.

With a wide range of facilities, each with its own appeal, the resort caters to travelers across generations.
Whether it’s a three-generation family getaway taken at your own pace, a group trip with friends to enjoy outdoor activities, a romantic escape for two, or a long, unhurried stay with nothing on the agenda, your time here can be tailored to your travel style.
