Overview

About this hotel

EARTH is a single villa on a 3,000-tsubo plot on Ishigaki Island, designed by Sou Fujimoto. The round building has a bowl-shaped roof, so it reads as a low hill. It has four bedrooms for up to 10 guests, an infinity pool facing the sea, and a sauna lit by light falling through the water of the pool above.

Who it suits

The flagship of the brand, where staying in an architect's work is the point. With only one house on the site, a large group can relax without neighbours. For a couple or a small party, the scale is more than you need.
