When the city's hustle and bustle makes it hard to breathe, you finally understand the meaning of "escape"—fly to Okinawa in the off-season, with no crowded crowds, only a healing daily life embraced by the jelly sea. Here, even zoning out becomes a serious matter!
🌴 Stay in a dreamy castle at the tip of the cape
This time, the blind pick of ANA Manza Beach Intercontinental Hotel is simply divine! It’s like a sea island, with a design surrounded by the sea on three sides, hiding stunning sea views in every corner. The moment you open the sea view room, the extra-large balcony faces the sparkling sea surface. Wake up to the sunrise in the morning and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night—this is the ritual a vacation should have!
The hotel lobby is full of tropical vibes, with swaying coconut trees and bright tones that instantly switch you to vacation mode. The futuristic elevator contrasts cutely with the island style. The biggest surprise is the first-floor lounge, where free desserts and tea are served alongside a 270° floor-to-ceiling window sea view—I could lounge here all day watching the sea!
🏖️ Have fun without leaving the hotel
Who says you have to rush to attractions on vacation? This hotel itself is a treasure playground!
✅ Jelly sea beach: milky white sand + Tiffany blue sea water, every phone snap is an Instagram masterpiece
✅ Sunset sailboat: face the salty sea breeze and watch the sunset dye the sea orange soda color
✅ Infinity pool: soak in the water while gazing at the horizon, perfect for atmospheric photos anytime
✅ Quiet lounge: an adult-only space at night, chat and sip drinks with your besties, enjoying undisturbed comfort
🍽️ Island feast for your taste buds
Food lovers rejoice! Breakfast at Aqua Belle buffet restaurant offers everything from exquisite sushi to Western baked goods; dinner is highly recommended at the Ryukyu specialty restaurant, where you can enjoy local cuisine while watching traditional performances, creating an immersive atmosphere; in the afternoon, be sure to visit the seaside café, sipping iced drinks in the sea breeze for a happiness overload~

The days in Okinawa are lazy even in the air. The hot tea handed by the butler, the sunset swaying in the pool, the frangipani fragrance drifting on the balcony... these little beauties piece together the ideal vacation look. It turns out the most healing trip never needs to rush, just surrender yourself to the sea🌊
