Fodor's Expert Review Nilaina Resort
10--425 Uehara, Taketomi, Okinawa-ken, 907-1541, Japan
"Resort" is a misnomer for this small lodge, but the Nilaina has a perfect location, wooden decks where you can kick back, and a hot tub with an ocean view. The rooms could be more spacious—and there are only four of them—but they're smartly built, with excellent details like fancy baths and subtle lighting. They all look out onto the jungle. Snorkeling, hiking, and kayaking tours are on offer, but the diving and sailing tours on the hotel's 38-foot catamaran are unique to Nialaina. Call ahead to get free pickup from Uehara Port.
