Kawana Hotel & Golf Course

Follow in the footsteps of a honeymooning Marilyn Monroe at Kawana Hotel & Golf Course, where timeless luxury meets the natural beauty of rolling fairways and Pacific Ocean serenity. Nestled among lush greens and tranquil woodlands, Kawana Hotel is a Japanese retreat designed for balance – where indulgence meets nature, and leisure meets discovery. Every space is infused with a sense of calm, from the sweeping views over the links to the soft rhythm of birdsong carrying across the grounds.

Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast overlooking the landscape, as early sunlight spills across the greens, then step out for a round of golf on the hotel’s immaculately kept courses. There are two to choose from, Fuji and Oshima, each designed to challenge and inspire, with glorious views to keep you entranced between holes. Or wander further afield for quiet trails that wind through the peaceful Sagaminada countryside. Work up an appetite for your return to the Sun Parlor, where tea and homemade cakes are served. As the day draws on, retreat to the spectacular bath house, to soothe tired muscles with a restorative dip in warm spring water as you gaze out to sea.

Located a short drive south of the picturesque town of Atami, known for its historic castle and sandy beach, there’s plenty to explore locally. After returning to base, evenings at Hotel Kawana are an invitation to indulge. Choose from elegant dining options, celebrating French cuisine and traditional Japanese fare. Meanwhile, guestrooms and suites embrace a refined, modern aesthetic, blending natural textures with clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the beauty of garden or sensational views of Mount Fuji over the sea. Whether you seek an active escape or a restorative pause, Kawana offers more than luxury – it offers harmony, shaped by the land and elevated by every thoughtful detail.
