Rosewood Resort Miyakojima
Studio Piet Boon designed the first Rosewood resort on the tropical island of Miyakojima, part of the Japanese Okinawa archipelago. The resort comprises 55 guest accommodations, including villas and houses of varying sizes, along with extensive amenities. The studio was commissioned to supervise the design of the master plan and to design all the architecture and interiors of the villas, houses, and communal buildings—ensuring a seamless and immersive guest experience.
Miyakojima is renowned for its stunning beaches and breathtaking natural scenery. Miyako Island and its neighboring isles offer miles of coastline, where rocky formations are interspersed with soft white sandy beaches and endless views of turquoise-blue waters. Aquatic adventures range from snorkeling at Yabiji, Japan’s largest coral reef, to diving through underwater caves teeming with marine life.
“Our approach to the design of this hotel was based both on modern interpretations of Miyakojima’s traditional architecture and on the incredible beauty of the natural environment—creating a harmonious and welcoming place where guests are immersed in the island’s natural beauty.”
The resort’s villas are designed as private sanctuaries, each featuring a secluded pool, lush landscaped gardens, and uninterrupted views of the ocean. Studio Piet Boon’s team was responsible for the complete design—from the architecture to the interiors—ensuring a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The use of rich, locally sourced materials and traditional craftsmanship enhances this bond with nature, immersing guests in the island’s tranquil surroundings.
Four restaurants and bars introduce relaxed beachfront concepts, offering fresh seafood, local beef, regionally distilled spirits, and craft beer. Asaya, Rosewood’s pioneering integrated wellness concept, provides treatment rooms set within private gardens, indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy facilities, and a program of services inspired by local healing traditions.
