“Outstanding property, cannot recommend it highly enough!”
The view of the bay is exceptional. It’s fantastic to overlook it from the room and also from the restaurant. The traditional style of the room created a lovely experience. The Onsen on the balcony overlooking the bay is an experience not to be missed. This felt truly luxurious. The staff cannot be faulted. We speak English and very little Japanese and the staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The food was beyond delicious. Prepared before our eyes and explained by the staff with care and detail. I cannot thank the staff more for their care and kindness.

“A relaxing island oasis that I thoroughly recommend!”
Enjoyed spectacular sea views from a private onsen bath in our own room. The kaiseki dinner featured Iki island delicacies and the flavors were divine! Breakfast was also a culinary treat . The staff were extremely attentive, courteous and very helpful.

“The best retreat ever”
We had an AMAZING stay at Iki Retreat. Everything was seamless - the hotel driver picked us from the lunch place directly (we went for lunch first when we arrived at Ashibe port - you can arrange everything through email before arrival), and throughout our stay, Katano helped us with everything as he was able to speak some English. Staff are impeccable and attentive, room with a magnificent view, private onsen on our private terrace, everything you need for a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat was provided - drinks in the room, use of private bath and gym (gymwear also provided if needed) were provided with no extra charge. We opted to have breakfast and dinner included and the food was just out of this world. Delicious delicacies - iki beef, squid, teppanyaki, sashimi, sushi, condiments etc.....the chef will prepare everything in front of you. You do have to pay for the alcohol with dinner... Our jetfoil got cancelled and Katano and the staff helped to find alternatives for us as well. I could go on and on with only everything positive to say....

The staff make the difference in this place: the GM, the chefs, the restaurant staff, the spa attendants… everyone is extremely kind and will do everything to make your stay extremely pleasant and comfortable. Dinners were wonderful surprises, great quality food every night, with extremely kind chefs who did everything they could to surprise and delight. The sommelier made us appreciate Japanese wines (a first, after 4 years in Japan). The GM was extremely kind and helpful and organised all excursions (ebikes, boat tours, transfers…) for us
