JIVANA MIYAKO (former AYANNA Miyako) | All-Suite Oceanfront Villas (Irabu, Miyako)

JIVANA MIYAKO (former AYANNA Miyako) is a 7-room all-suite villa that opened in April 2024 in Ikemazoe on Irabu Island. Every room has a heated private pool, and its appeal is an oceanfront location overlooking the Miyako Blue sea. The rooms have a minimal, warm design making use of natural materials, and you can enjoy the light streaming through the large windows and the sea view. At the adjoining restaurant "Jivana", the source of the facility name, course cuisine fusing the spirit of Ryukyu innovative cooking and French kappo technique is served, and a sustainable dish utilising sugarcane bagasse (the pressed residue) is a talking point. With good access about 25 minutes by car from Miyako Airport and about 10 minutes from Shimojishima Airport, it draws popularity as a quiet, quality hideaway resort fitting for an anniversary or special trip.

Visiting tips & what to bring

Being accommodation with guest rooms, entry for viewing only is not possible. Use requires a stay or an advance restaurant booking. Restaurant Jivana is fully booking-based with an 18:00 start only, serving a dinner course only. With a seaside location and strong summer sun, sun shade and insect repellent are reassuring when strolling outside the building. The private pool is heated, but the feel changes by season and weather. The surroundings are quiet, surrounded by the nature of the Makiyama area, but the nearest convenience store and eatery presume travel by car.

For families with small children

A quiet adult-oriented luxury villa with a private pool in every room, an inn emphasising atmosphere, so it is not necessarily suited to those with small children aged 0 to 6. The pools are heated but many have no safety fence, so constant accompaniment is essential for infants. As co-sleeping availability, child rates and baby goods differ by facility, be sure to confirm by phone before booking. It is an inn suited to a calm anniversary trip.
