The Terrace Club Wellness Resort at Busena

905-0026 Okinawa, Nago, Kise 1750, Japan

Guest reviews: 9.4

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know how some places just hit different the moment you walk in? The Terrace Club Wellness Resort at Busena is one of those spots. I mean, sure, the Busena area has plenty of fancy resorts scattered along the coast, but this one actually delivers on that whole “wellness retreat” vibe without feeling pretentious about it. The location on Kise Peninsula is honestly perfect – you’re far enough from Nago’s main drag to feel secluded, but close enough that you can still grab authentic Okinawan food if the resort dining gets too refined for your taste.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to make a 5-star place feel… I don’t know, approachable? The lobby has these massive windows overlooking the East China Sea, and instead of stuffy formal furniture, they’ve got these low-slung chairs where you can actually relax with a book. The wellness facilities are where they really shine though – the spa treatments incorporate traditional Okinawan healing practices (they use local sea salt and that incredible Ryukyu limestone), and the fitness center has equipment that doesn’t look like it’s been gathering dust since 2015. I spent way too much time in their meditation gardens, which are tucked into these quiet corners where you can hear the waves but not the pool chatter.

The rooms deserve a mention too because honestly, some “luxury” places in Okinawa can feel cookie-cutter, but these have character. Floor-to-ceiling windows are standard, the bathrooms have those deep soaking tubs that actually fit tall people, and – this might sound weird but it matters – the air conditioning is whisper quiet. You’ll sleep like the dead, which is saying something since I’m usually a light sleeper. Food-wise, their restaurant does this interesting fusion of Kaiseki techniques with Okinawan ingredients, though if you’re craving something more casual, there’s a little izakaya about ten minutes down Route 110 that the locals frequent. The resort staff will call you a taxi, no problem. One small thing – parking can get tight during cherry blossom season (yes, even in Okinawa), so maybe plan accordingly if you’re renting a car. But really, with that 9.4 rating, they’re clearly doing something right, and after staying there, I get it completely.

This is a beautiful property! Everything is so well kept, clean and beautiful. From the moment we arrived the staff were nothing but courteous, gracious, and always willing to help you with anything you needed. I would say it is worth staying at the Terrace Club rather than the Busena Terrace next door especially if you are a couple. You still get access to Busena and all their restaurants, pools, etc. but the Terrace Club is another cut above in terms of relaxation, peacefulness, and luxury. They have a spa that you can go to as well as a wellness pool/aqua therapy area that we used daily. The views of the sea are so beautiful from your balcony, and the restaurants at the facilities are excellent. The Terrace Club also has a tea time and happy hour that are free depending on your room selection and well worth it. The airport transfer for free is also a major plus.

What could be improved: Nothing. Only thing we would note is that the property is approximately an hour drive from the airport, and there are only a few designated time slots for the shuttle. The hotel will arrange a private taxi for you if you arrive at an off time.
