Unique Accommodation Experience: 4 Distinct Rooms
All four guest rooms at semilla feature completely different designs and layouts. This intentional variety allows guests to choose the perfect space that matches their mood or lifestyle preferences. Options include rooms with work desks overlooking tranquil forests for focused productivity, and rooms with open terraces where guests can listen to the sounds of nature.
A Multi-Functional Facility to Engage All Five Senses
Beyond guest rooms, semilla offers diverse content designed to awaken the senses. The facility features "Taiyō to Tsuki no Terrace" (Sun and Moon Terrace) dining available to non-guests, creating a space that extends beyond simple accommodation to foster connections with food, people, and oneself.
Taiyō to Tsuki no Terrace - A Dining Terrace Celebrating Okinawan Seasons
The dining terrace offers a resort-style outdoor dining experience under the sun by day and moonlight by night. The menu features shabu-shabu using Okinawa's premium Agu pork brand and "Okinawan obanzai" (home-style dishes) highlighting local Nago ingredients. These dishes capture the essence of Okinawan home cooking, creating a welcoming atmosphere perfect for casual visits. Guests can also enjoy semilla's original craft beer.
Work Lounge Balancing Focus and Relaxation
The facility includes a dedicated work lounge for deep focus or reading. Surrounded by the quiet forest and hints of the nearby sea, guests experience a unique blend of concentration and relaxation unavailable in urban settings, offering moments of "ordinary time" not typically found in traditional hotels.
Sauna and Outdoor Pool for Mind-Body Renewal

The property features a sauna where guests can regulate their breathing under the starlit sky and an outdoor pool where southern breezes flow through. Surrounded by natural air, these spaces offer opportunities to release daily stress and mental tension while gently restoring mind and body balance.
Bonfire Experiences Creating Natural Connections
Evening bonfire gatherings create natural opportunities for conversation and connection, embodying the "Village" concept with thoughtfully designed spaces that bring people together organically.
The Meaning Behind "RESORT YOUR DAYS"
The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally transformed how we work. The era of location-independent work has made weekday resort visits and extended stays realistic possibilities. We believe resort experiences can now embrace greater freedom.
As we personally adapted to post-pandemic lifestyles, including workations with colleagues, we observed how traditional resort hotels excel at creating special, beautifully curated stays. Refined restaurants and meticulously designed common spaces represent their greatest strengths.
However, when considering "stays as an extension of daily life," we felt there could be spaces where guests feel more relaxed. After dinner, staying up late with friends. Evenings free from time constraints. Previously, we often gathered in someone's guest room, which created enjoyable moments.
Yet we imagined how much more natural and appealing these stays could become with shared spaces like lounges designed for casual, time-unlimited gathering, or outdoor terraces perfect for conversations under the stars.
This vision inspired us to create casual counter dining, lounges for unstructured time, terraces for enjoying beer under the night sky - spaces designed for spending ordinary moments with important people.
Rather than consuming resorts as extraordinary experiences, we envision installing them as an additional living sphere.
This philosophy defines our "RESORT YOUR DAYS" concept.
