MAGACHABARU Okinawa
Nakijin, Japan

Forest surrounds the private villas at MAGACHABARU, giving this small Nakijin property an unusually secluded feel. Each villa has its own pool, with generous indoor space for travellers who prefer privacy to a busy resort scene. Dining brings together Japanese, Western and Ryukyu influences, and in-room barbecue options can keep the evening close to home. A car is useful here; plan excursions around northern Okinawa rather than repeated trips to Naha.
