For a luxurious warm-weather getaway, skip overcrowded destinations and head to Okinawa, Japan’s best-kept secret. This designated Blue Xone is full of lush greenery, scenic beaches and rich history.
Nestled in the island’s village of Onna is Halekulani Okinawa resort, a 5-star oasis where guests can dive into the region’s culture and wisdom of longevity. Highlights of the stunning resort include:
Exclusive Cultural Programming for Guests
Discover the Island’s Umui (spirit) through this spiritual guided tour of the historic Nanjo region of the island. This tour is designed to help guests create a mindful connection with the island through their three stages of life: past, present and future. Along the way, travelers stop to taste some of the delicacies blending elements of tradition with cultural infusion.
Guests can also participate in Discovering the Island’s Mabui (Soul), which honors Okinawa’s origins as the birthplace of karate. This comes with a course teaching pattern-based movements and specialized breathing techniques of the sacred art.
V.I.P. Helicopter Transport from the Airport
For luxury travelers looking to arrive to Halekulani Okinawa in style, the property can arrange private helicopter transfers from the airport. Not only is this the most luxurious option, but it’s also the most convenient, as the hotel lies only a couple minutes from the heliport.
