An Editor's Top Pick in Miyakojima: IRAPH SUI

'Miyako Blue' is the term used to describe the sea color of Miyakojima, Japan. There is a hotel that seems to have transplanted that exact sea color into its very being. It is IRAPH SUI, part of Marriott's top-tier luxury brand, 'The Luxury Collection'.


The Infinity Pool, Becoming One with the Sea

The experience at IRAPH SUI begins and is perfected at its infinity pool. Situated at the edge of the hotel's cliff, the pool creates a perfect illusion of seamlessly connecting with the blue sea of Miyako.

As you stand at the edge of the pool, the transparent sea unfolds beneath you, and in the distance, the elegant curve of the Irabu Bridge connecting Miyako mainland and Irabu Island comes into view. Here, you will have an utterly surreal experience where the boundary between the man-made pool and the great outdoors completely disappears.


The Enchanting Sunset, and Champagne

Another reason this experience is so special lies in the details. Around sunset, the hotel begins its complimentary champagne service for guests.

The moment of enjoying a glass of cold champagne against the backdrop of the sky and sea turning red. This is the most luxurious and romantic moment that IRAPH SUI presents to its guests. It is an utterly serene and elegant way to commemorate the end of the day, different from the boisterous sunset parties of a beach club.

Staying at IRAPH SUI goes beyond simple lodging; it is the experience of absorbing and possessing the most essential 'blue light' of Miyakojima with your whole body.
