Ronsard Resort IRABU is a private villa resort of 5 villas that opened in October 2022. Located by the foot of the Irabu Ohashi Bridge along the Ikemazoe coast, each villa is a spacious suite of over 109 square metres (about 1,170 sq ft) at maximum, with every room boasting an ocean view. Its biggest appeal is a heated infinity pool said to be among the largest in Miyakojima. You can have to yourself a spectacular view that looks continuous with the emerald-green sea. Every room has a tent sauna, and a jacuzzi, private terrace and garden BBQ facility are also complete. With a layout emphasising privacy, it is ideal for an anniversary trip with family or a couple. Access is good at about 17 minutes by car from Miyako Airport and about 9 minutes from Miyako Shimojishima Airport.

Visiting tips & what to bring

Being a facility-type resort, cautions specific to outdoor spots are few. As each villa is independent with limited front-desk function, confirming the check-in method and key handover in advance is reassuring. When using the infinity pool or tent sauna, prepare a swimsuit and towel. Being seaside, the summer sun is strong, so sun-shade measures make it comfortable. If enjoying a garden BBQ by bringing ingredients, early shopping at a nearby supermarket is recommended.

For families with small children

It suits families with children aged 0 to 6 with conditions. Being a private villa you can spend time without minding other guests, and the appeal is that children can play freely in the private pool and garden. On the other hand, the deep infinity pool is dangerous for small children to use alone, and constant adult supervision is essential. As meals are room-only-centred, bringing baby food and ingredients is reassuring. Given the quiet adult-oriented resort atmosphere too, a household able to manage safety can stay comfortably.
