ANA INTERCONTINENTAL ISHIGAKI RESORT, Seaside resort in Ishigaki, Japan
The ANA Intercontinental Ishigaki Resort is a large beachside hotel on the Japanese island of Ishigaki, featuring five buildings, nine restaurants, and four pools with ocean views. The property spreads across 31 hectares and offers multiple accommodation and dining options for guests.
The resort underwent a major expansion in 2020 when three new buildings were added to the property. This expansion made it the first Japanese property to offer exclusively Club Intercontinental category accommodations.
Local island cuisine takes center stage in the resort's restaurants, where fresh seafood and traditional dishes from the Yaeyama Islands are prepared daily. The meals reflect regional eating habits and give visitors a taste of how people here have eaten for generations.
A dedicated shuttle service connects Ishigaki Airport to the resort, taking about 20 minutes for the journey in each direction. Guests should arrange this service in advance to ensure a smooth transfer arrival.
A standalone chapel named Cul-de-seur extends over the coral reef into the sea and offers views of sunrise and sunset across the water. This unusual wedding venue sits in a location of natural beauty away from the main buildings.
