Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort (Mihama, Chatan Town, Okinawa) will hold a series of Christmas events from Saturday, November 7 to Saturday, December 26, 2026. This year's theme is "A Silent Christmas of Falling Stars Shimmering in the Deep Sea."
The theme colors are "deep emerald green," reminiscent of the deep sea, and "refined midnight blue (deep navy)." Stepping inside is meant to feel like wandering into a silent deep sea, with decorations that evoke countless stars glittering as they fall into the water, setting this Christmas apart from the traditional kind. On Thursday, December 24 and Friday, December 25, the hotel offers a range of festivities, including special menus at each restaurant, live performances by an opera singer, a symbol tree about 5 meters tall set up in the lobby, and Christmas trees decorating the hotel.
Special Christmas Menus at the Restaurants
Buffet Restaurant Suriyun
The Christmas menu features all-you-can-eat crab, along with hot dishes that highlight their ingredients, such as a whole bread seafood gratin baked until fragrant with the flavor of seafood sealed inside, and oven-baked salmon with a mellow richness, accented by a refreshing wasabi cream sauce. A Honey Mustard Lamb Roast, with juicy meat and a balance of sweetness and acidity, also joins the lineup.
Dinner only, a Pescatore risotto is finished inside a large wheel of cheese. The rich cheese and the flavor of seafood come together as the chef completes the dish right in front of guests, to be enjoyed with the warmth and aroma of a freshly made dish.
Desserts include a classic Christmas shortcake and panettone, the traditional Italian sweet, among a wide selection.
