Miru Amami

酒店服務人員都很友善，還有接送機服務！但是如果來奄美玩，沒有車的話，確實出行不方便。但是可以讓酒店幫忙定旅遊觀光出租車。 大家6月梅雨季儘量避開，天天下雨，不過我們很幸運有一天放晴，酒店有出草坪看星空超美！

お部屋、朝食全て最高でした‥！特にヴィラ目前の海が綺麗すぎて、終始見惚れていました 2人には十分な広さで、アメニティも完備。 ダブルベットでしたので、のびのびぐっすり眠ることができました。 お部屋についている露天風呂も広くて気持ちよくて、最高なひと時を過ごせました！また絶対に泊まりたい宿です🙆‍♀️

We stayed with my fiancé in July for four days. They were unforgettable moments that we will always carry in our hearts. We had an ocean view villa with dinner included. The room was beautiful, with all the highest level comforts. We were very impressed by the exceptional level of the staff working at the facility; they were extremely kind, helpful, always smiling, and affectionate. The excursions we booked were unforgettable. A special mention for all the dinners we enjoyed, which seemed like they were made by a Michelin star chef. Thank you so much, we will never forget it. Ciao!

We stumbled upon the Amami Islands while looking for a beach alternative to Okinawa or the high-rise mainland resorts. A convenient two hours and fifteen minute flight from Tokyo – one hour shorter than reaching Okinawa – the Amami Islands feel ripe for discovery as a tourist destination for their distinctive blend of nature, history and marine and land excursion offerings. Yet, they appear to enjoy their status as a low-key destination, maybe for the better: no crowds, no cruise ships, few resorts, a local feel to everything, but also an excellent road infrastructure and a well-organized tourist information system. Amami O-Shima is served by only a handful of daily fights from Tokyo, but by frequent service to the prefectural capital, Kagoshima, at the southern tip of Kyushu. Just like the Amami Islands themselves, the Miru Amami is a small hidden gem: it offers a high level of accommodations, service and food quality, all delivered without pretension and effortlessly surpassing the standards of many boutique hotels in the West. LOCATION: on the north side of Amami O-Shima and a 20 minute drive from the airport (rental cars represent the only practical way to visit the island), it overlooks a quiet bay flanked by lushly forested hills and scattered buildings. On the outskirts of a small village, it is not a secluded location, but its placement makes it feel as such. The hotel is perched atop a natural beach typical of the island, with coarse white sand dotted with coral fragments; the water temperature was perfect, with just enough waves to make it interesting. I recommend wearing the rubber booties that the hotel, of course, makes available. (The coastline is spectacular, but also sadly ruined in places by rubbish swept ashore – a harsh reminder of the unmanageable amount of trash floating on the ocean.) ROOM: we spent three nights in a Pool Villa, which easily accommodated our family of four in two separate partitioned areas, one with Western beds and the other with tatami beds. The room features plenty of storage space and a large bath with a separate wet area, plus a sizable outdoor private swimming pool with a wraparound deck and recliners to relax and star gaze. The only feature topping the brightness of its design, aimed at soaking in the sunlight and the views, was the surprising amount of thoughtful room amenities, including cosmetics, accessories, towels of all sizes, umbrellas, free quality snacks and beverages. AMENITIES: the restaurant, Amanari, really topped things off. It offers a daily rotating dinner menu featuring a surprising variety of creatively interpreted and artfully plated Japanese dishes: truly amazing what two chefs in a small kitchen can accomplish! The breakfast follows a similar concept, with a rotating choice of Japanese or Western menus. Dinner and breakfast are included in the room rate and would be a sin not to take advantage of them. The front desk also helped us arrange a day tour of the island (

のんびりとした接客ですが、丁寧で暖かさがあります。マウンテンビュー側の宿泊でしたが、十分のんびり楽しめました。プライベートビーチがあるので、本当は連泊してホテルでのんびりする旅程にすれば良かったです。ツアー予約してしまいホテル滞在時間が限られてしまったことが悔やまれます。

オーシャンフロントのヴィラに３泊しました。空港からレンタカーで20分ほど。車のNaviに登録が無く少し場所が分かりにくかったですが、一度訪れたらそこは別世界の様でした。コテージタイプの客室の大きな窓からは、砂浜とどこまでも続く海が見え、大きなバルコニーに出ると、波の音とウミネコの鳴き声だけが聞こえました。シーズンオフの1月でしたので海には入れないので旅行客も少なかったですが、誰もいない深く青い海をずっと眺めている時間は何ものにも変え難かったです。３泊朝晩食事付きなしましたが、毎日内容が異なり飽きることは無かったです。少し中高年女子2名には量が多すぎましたが。このホテルの滞在が奄美大島をとても好きにさせ、また今年一度夏に行きたいと考えています。
