An Editor's Top Pick in Okinawa: Shinminka Villa

To truly experience Okinawa means going beyond just seeing the blue sea; it's about feeling the island's unique history, architecture, and even the flow of the wind. Shinminka Villa is a 'work of art' born for that very experience, transcending the definition of a simple accommodation.


Shinminka: A Dialogue Between Tradition and Modernity

'Shinminka' means 'new folk house,' and it is an architectural style that reinterprets the traditional Okinawan house, the 'Ryukyu Minka,' with a modern sensibility. This place succeeds in perfectly harmonizing the heritage of the past with today's lifestyle, going beyond simple preservation.

The red-tiled roof and the Ryukyu limestone walls, symbols of Shinminka Villa, represent the tradition of Okinawa, while the minimalist interior and the large windows that fill the space symbolize modern comfort. Here, you can witness the past and present conversing in the most sophisticated manner.


A Day in Perfect Privacy

Every space in Shinminka Villa guarantees perfect privacy for your group alone.

You can soak in the private pool provided in each villa and feel the Okinawan sky and wind completely, without any disturbances. Thanks to the open structure that blurs the lines between inside and out, you can experience a deep sense of tranquility, as if you've become a part of nature, just by sitting in the living room.

Staying at Shinminka Villa goes beyond simple lodging; it is to experience the answer to how Okinawa's architectural soul can harmonize with modern luxury.
We hope you will add the most profound aesthetic pause to your Okinawa trip.
