Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa in Nago City, Okinawa, will run FUN NIGHT@resort from Wednesday, July 1 to Saturday, October 31, 2026. The event is centered around the garden pool and offers a variety of ways to enjoy the resort's nighttime atmosphere.
Under the concept of "Play on the island. Connect with the forest," the hotel sits at the entrance to Yanbaru — northern Okinawa's subtropical forest region — and has lined up a series of night activities showcasing a different side of the resort from daytime.
As summer temperatures continue to rise each year, interest in nighttime leisure has grown. During the event period, the hotel is setting one of the longest swimming windows on Okinawa's main island, with pool access available until 10:00 PM. Guests can dive into the resort experience from the very first evening of their stay.
Night Pool
From the open deck, guests can watch the sun set over the East China Sea before the sky transitions into night — all from the water. Light shimmering on the pool surface and the dramatic illumination of surrounding trees set the scene for a tropical evening. The scenery shifts with each passing hour, offering a resort-style escape from everyday life.
Garden Pool hours: 8:00 AM–10:00 PM (swimming hours may vary by period)
Poolside BBQ (Swimwear or casual clothing welcome)
A hands-free BBQ plan is available for groups of two or more. On the poolside terrace overlooking the East China Sea, guests can enjoy carefully selected ingredients at sunset — in swimwear or regular clothes. The evening sea breeze and open-air setting provide a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere.
Hours: 6:30 PM / 7:00 PM / 7:30 PM seatings (reservation required by 4:00 PM on the day)
Price: From ¥8,500 per person
Poolside Bar (Swimwear or casual clothing welcome)
Located in the center of the outdoor pool area, the poolside bar serves cocktails and Okinawa-inspired sweets. It's an easy stop between night swims or after dinner, offering a luxurious yet laid-back setting for adults looking to unwind.
Hours: 3:00 PM–10:00 PM
Spa & Sauna
The spa features five different baths — including a jet bath, aroma bath, and outdoor bath — set in a tranquil space filled with the gentle sound of water. A dry sauna fragrant with natural wood is also available, ideal for unwinding after an evening in the pool or a full day of activities.
Hours: 6:30 AM–11:00 AM / 3:00 PM–11:00 PM
Lobby Lounge
Rich greenery, atmospheric lighting, and carefully chosen music transform the indoor lobby into a space that evokes the nighttime forest of Yanbaru. At the bar counter, bartenders craft everything from original cocktails to tropical creations made with local Okinawan fruits. It's an ideal spot for a quiet evening drink alongside a selection of premium spirits from around the world.
Hours: 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
Summer Events
A range of evening events will be held to make summer nights memorable, including live music, stargazing, and sparklers. Activities for children are also part of the lineup, including nature programs connecting guests to Okinawa's natural environment — suitable for school summer projects as well.
Period: Saturday, July 18 – Sunday, August 23
