A Unique Lodging Experience: 4 Rooms, Each with a Different Design
All four guest rooms at “semilla” are intentionally designed with distinct features. This design was inspired by the desire to allow guests to choose the “space” that best suits their mood and lifestyle on any given day. A key feature is that each room has its own unique character—from rooms equipped with a work desk where guests can immerse themselves in their work while gazing out at the tranquil forest, to rooms with open terraces where guests can listen to the sounds of nature.
The appeal of a multi-purpose facility that harmonizes the five senses and stimulates the imagination
Within the facility, we have prepared a variety of experiences designed to awaken the five senses, including the “Sun and Moon Terrace” dining area, which is open to guests other than those staying overnight. More than just a place to stay, this is a space where time flows, allowing you to connect with others, savor the food, and reflect on yourself.
・"Dining Terrace"—"Terrace of the Sun and Moon": Experience the seasonal flavors of Okinawa
At the dining terrace “Sun and Moon Terrace,” you can enjoy an outdoor dining experience unique to a resort, dining under the sun by day and the moonlight by night. We serve shabu-shabu made with “Agu pork”—a brand of pork Okinawa is proud of—as well as “Okinawan obanzai” featuring ingredients from the local Nago area.Our menu, infused with the essence of local home-style cooking, captures the spirit of Okinawa’s unique culture—making it the perfect spot to drop by for a casual meal between sightseeing activities. You can also enjoy Semilla’s original craft beers alongside your meal.
・A work lounge that balances focus and relaxation
We have equipped our facility with a work lounge where you can immerse yourself in work or reading. As you take in the tranquility of the forest and the scent of the sea beyond the windows, you’ll experience a unique blend of “concentration” and “relaxation”—a feeling you simply can’t find in the city—allowing you to enjoy a “moment of quiet simplicity” unlike anything found in a traditional hotel.
・A sauna and outdoor pool to relax your mind and body
We feature a sauna where you can quietly regulate your breathing under the starry sky, as well as an outdoor pool where tropical breezes blow through. By taking deep breaths while surrounded by the fresh air of nature, we offer an experience that helps you unwind from the fatigue and worries of daily life and gently restore balance to both body and mind.
・A bonfire experience that fosters gentle connections between people
We’ve incorporated features throughout the space designed to help people connect naturally—such as gathering around a bonfire in the evening to chat—in keeping with the “Village” concept.
About the "RESORT YOUR DAYS" Message
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the way we work, ushering in an era where we can work from anywhere.
Now that it’s become realistic to visit resorts on weekdays or stay for extended periods, I’ve come to feel that we should be able to enjoy resorts with even greater freedom. We, too, have adopted a lifestyle different from what it was before the pandemic, such as going on workations with friends.
Traditional resort hotels are designed to create a beautiful setting for a special stay. Their sophisticated restaurants and well-maintained common areas are a major draw.
On the other hand, when I considered the idea of a “stay that feels like an extension of everyday life,” I felt there could be more spaces where guests could relax a little more. Time spent drinking late into the night with friends after dinner. A carefree evening where you don’t have to worry about when to head home. Until now, it’s often happened naturally that we’d all gather in someone’s guest room. Of course, those are fun times too.
However, I thought that if the common areas included a lounge where guests could relax as if they were simply continuing their daily lives without worrying about the time, or an outdoor terrace where they could chat under the starry sky, their stay would feel more natural and be even more appealing.
So we created a casual counter-style dining area where you can drop in without any fuss, a lounge where you can just relax and do nothing, and a terrace where you can enjoy a beer under the starry sky—a space “for spending ordinary moments with the people you care about.”
Instead of treating a resort as an escape from everyday life, we should integrate it into our lives as another living space.
That is the philosophy we call “RESORT YOUR DAYS.”
