The Rescape Miyakojima: A Must-Stay Luxury Resort in Okinawa

A Blissful Escape

3 Nights at The Rescape in Miyakojima!

After hopping from Okinawa to Miyakojima, we spent 4 days and 5 nights on the island, with an incredible 3 of those nights at a dreamy haven—The Rescape!

Finding The Rescape

While hunting for accommodations in Miyakojima, I noticed something unsettling: no Korean reviews of The Rescape. 😱 Still, my heart was set on this place after poring over every corner of the internet, and nothing else quite compared. Fueled by equal parts curiosity and adventure, I decided to take the leap. Spoiler: BEST. DECISION. EVER. 🙌

What sealed the deal? Glowing Japanese Instagram reviews! 📸 The photos and videos screamed luxury and healing vibes, but honestly? They didn’t do it justice. The experience was even better than the visuals!

A Secluded Paradise 🌿

Nestled in the heart of nature, The Rescape feels like you’re entirely off the grid. There’s literally nothing around—just you, the trees, and infinite tranquility. 

🛋️ Note: renting a car is non-negotiable to get here. Winding roads lead you to this slice of heaven, so buckle up for the adventure! 🚗

Welcome with Warmth (and Cake!) 🍰

Check-in was a delight. Instead of the usual counter shuffle, we were whisked to a cozy table, where staff brought everything to us. They explained all the details while serving welcome tea and pound cake. 🥹 Sweetness overload!

First Impressions

Our room? Oh, it’s not just a room—it’s a standalone villa! 🏡 A quick drive with our room key in hand brought us to our private space. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a long hallway with a glimpse of the terrace view at the end. Cue the excitement! 🎉

The villa was spacious, modern, and minimalist—just the right blend of cozy and luxurious. My favorite spot? A sunbed overlooking our private pool. 🛋️ Chef’s kiss!

The Little Luxuries ✨

  • Private Pool: Amazing, but beware the blazing sun during the day and bug battalions at night. 🌞🦟 We managed a quick dip in the morning before check-out, but it was still such a treat!
  • Bathroom Goals: Giant indoor bathtub? Check. Outdoor tub surrounded by greenery? Also check (though the bugs made it more of a “look, don’t touch” feature for me). 🌺
  • Full Glass Windows: Living room, bedroom, bathroom—all with floor-to-ceiling windows that made it feel like nature was wrapping us in a big hug.

Unforgettable Details

  • Natural Bath Experience 🛁: Each villa has bath salts and herbs you can mix to create your own aromatic soak. Perfect for winding down after a day of exploring!
  • Complimentary Drinks! 🥤: The mini-fridge was stocked with Okinawan craft beers and unique local drinks—all free. I mean, how great is that?!
  • Gorgeous Communal Spaces: The main building’s terrace was breathtaking. At night, they light up the area, creating a whole new magical vibe. (P.S. They offer BBQ dinners here if you reserve in advance. We missed out but are definitely signing up next time!) 🍖🍷

Private Beach Vibes 🏝️

Hidden just beyond a forest path, The Rescape has its own private beach. And by private, I mean completely deserted! It was like stumbling upon a treasure—soft sands, crystal-clear water, and an unmatched sense of serenity. 💎 Even the water was shallow and perfect for a carefree splash.

Hidden Gem Worth Every Penny 💕

For 3 days, we felt like we’d discovered a secret paradise. The Rescape still flies under the radar for non-Japanese travelers, which made our stay even more special. The service? Flawless. The facilities? Top-tier. The memories? Unforgettable.

Would I go back? Oh, absolutely. If you’re ever in Miyakojima, do yourself a favor—book The Rescape. You’ll thank me later! 🌟
