Adachi Island, located off the coast of Chinen Peninsula in Nanjo city, is just a few minutes from the Okinawa mainland, yet boasts a tranquility and beauty like another world. Surrounded by emerald green seas, this small island is an ideal hideaway for those who wish to escape a busy daily life and refresh their mind and body.
The resort hotel 'Nirakanai' on the island, which means 'ideal place', truly represents a stay on this island. You can relieve daily fatigue with a stunning sea-view spa, or leisurely sunbathe on the private beach. Here, you will find your preferred style of relaxation.
The charm of Adachi Island is not just in its quietness. There are ample opportunities for sea activities such as snorkeling and kayaking. In the crystal-clear waters, you may be greeted by brightly colored tropical fish. Additionally, as you walk exploration courses on the island, you can expect encounters with subtropical vegetation and small animals.
Enhancing your stay on the island are dishes made with fresh seafood. The hotel’s restaurant offers menus using seafood caught by local fishermen that morning and vegetables grown on the island. The fusion of traditional Okinawan cooking methods and modern arrangements creates dishes that delight both the taste buds and the eyes.
Adachi Island can be reached from Naha Airport by car in about an hour, and is just a few minutes by boat from Chinen Port. This convenience is one of its appeals. However, facilities on the island are limited, so it is recommended to prepare necessary items in advance. Also, from an environmental preservation perspective, remember to take your trash with you and follow ecotourism principles.
Adachi Island is a special place where you can forget the hustle of daily life and spend time united with nature. In this small paradise, why not find your own 'Nirakanai'?
