Resort Villa SUNABE (Ocean Villa Sunabe) | A Hilltop Whole-House Villa (Irabu, Miyako)

Resort Villa SUNABE (Ocean Villa Sunabe) is a whole-house private villa standing alone on high ground that spreads out facing the bridge, right after crossing the Irabu Ohashi Bridge. As it can be rented exclusively for one group, you can fully enjoy the nature and stillness of Irabu Island without minding anyone. Its biggest appeal is the ocean view seen below and the 18-metre-long private pool. While having to yourself a spectacular view where sea and sky become one, you can spend relaxed island time. It is also known as an eco-minded inn where the electricity used at the facility is covered by solar power on the grounds. The location is a little away from the centres of sightseeing, shopping and dining, but in return the privacy and resort feel are exceptional. It draws popularity as a hideaway villa fitting for an anniversary, honeymoon or a cosy trip with someone special. Booking is accepted via the accommodation booking form on the official site.

For families with small children

A whole-house rental with a private pool where you can spend time without minding the surroundings, so it suits families with small children too. However, the pool often has no fence, so supervision at the waters edge is essential for children aged 0 to 6. With few shops and medical facilities nearby, baby goods and food need advance preparation. Confirm the rate and facilities (cot, etc.) via the booking form.
