Beach Resort+Sushi+Great Villa

When it comes to traveling, people expect some sort of detachment from the reality. If you live in a city, experiences in a 5 star hotel, say Upper House in Hong Kong, amazing snow mountains in Niseko, sky clear beach in The Cyclades qualifies with this definition of detachment.

Well, what about this? Visiting Okinawa, Japan for a beach resort.

It may not sound so "detached" or the trip itself doesn't sound familiar to many people. But experiences you can immerse at Oriental Hills Okinawa is so special that you want to add extra days and money to be there while visiting Japan.

1. The setup
Only 14 villas in 20,000m2 space.

2. Villa
65m2 (1 bedroom suite), 95m2 (2 bedroom suite), with a private swimming pool in each villa.

3. Sushi
Sushi chef, Mr. Taninaka prepares one of the best sushi you can have in Japan with great conversations. All the fish, prepared for sashimi/sushi is shipped by air from Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo everyday.

Though it's bit pricy -- JPY 78,750/person for 1 bedroom suite (Max: 2 persons, including 2 meals (dinner/breakfast) and limousine service from and to Naha Airport), if Oriental Hills Okinawa provides the only exclusive experiences in the world, what would you say? It's your call.
