The Shigira

The Shigira offers beachside bliss – with more than a touch of high-end luxury. Overlooking translucent, coral-filled waters, its pink-painted villas and suites have views to die for – and equally arresting interiors. Here, you can step out of bed and slip into your private swimming pool. Indulge in a butler-delivered breakfast. And enjoy all the rich experiences the Japanese island of Miyako has to offer.

If it’s seclusion you’re after, you’ll find it in abundance at The Shigira as you hide out in your ocean-view villa. Minimalist bedrooms and airy living spaces open to terraces made for daytime lounging and evening stargazing, all set to a soundtrack of lapping waves. Take a trip around the world for dinner, when you can venture out to one of The Shigira’s seven onsite restaurants. Dine on authentic Japanese flavours such as homemade soba noodles and sizzling teppanyaki, or savour fresh seafood and authentic Italian pasta.  

Every day can be a beach day at The Shigira, with a private bay just moments from your room. The sea here is famed for its vivid blue colour and teems with life, so it’s perfect for snorkelling. Beach cabanas on the white sands invite total relaxation – or try out one of the many adventures on offer. Dip into open-air hot springs, go exploring on a Segway, or take a sunset ocean cruise. Tee off at Shigira Country Club, with an ocean view from every hole. Or hunker down with a tailored beauty treatment in the comfort of your villa.
