Very friendly and helpful people. Good food (which was important as everything around was closed). Quiet. Close to nice swimmable beach (although betrer beaches seem to be on west coast). Room was clean, relatively spacious

“5-star accommodation at a 1-star price!!”

I stayed at Nata Beach Villa for 6 night in April 2026. I booked a twin room that had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I had a/c, the shower was powerful, the bed comfortable & you also had free use of the washing machine. The food isn’t included, but they served breakfasts every morning & evening meals on week nights, which were amazing & good value. All the staff were incredibly friendly, always smiling, and very helpful in arranging transport and trips. They also provided me with free transfers to & from the airport, & a free electric bike & snorkelling equipment to use! Overall, I couldn’t recommend this property more highly. If you’re visiting Ishigaki & are looking for somewhere comfortable, relaxing, and great value with wonderful staff, this is a fantastic place to stay. I would happily return.

“Great stay”

Right next to the beach

“Perfect place to wind down and relax”

Fantastic place for a nice and relaxing holiday. It’s only two minutes to a wonderful secluded beach. We couldn’t rent a car but the staff was so kind to pick us up from the airport and to take us back. For the activities we booked we were also picked up or we chose the diving and SUP school right around the corner. You can also get an e-bike, snorkeling equipment, a parasol and a SUP at the beach Villa to explore on your own. We loved it and can absolutely recommend! Only tip: there are no supermarkets and only few restaurants around.

“A perfect place if you want to enjoy wild ishigaki and some intimacy”

It was really clean, the staff at the front desk was really nice. The beach was beautiful and the way to the was really great too

“Magical stay at a tiny village with two beautiful natural beaches”

We had a magical stay at Nata Beach Villa! The beach is just across a small strip of forest, there is a charming path leading there, and the beach is basically empty. The beach faces sunrise, and there is a second beach 200m on the other side of the island facing sunset. The only downside (to some) is that the beach is quite natural, so there are many small hermit crabs and the occasional spider. There is no life guard at the beaches. Also it is recommended that you bring long sleeved swim wear to protect yourself somewhat from the jelly fish (we luckily didn't encounter any). The hotel itself was great, the room was spacious and it even came with a beach umbrella and snorkeling equipment which was a pleasant surprise! The hotel also offers many other amenities such as a washing machine and free e-bikes. The window faces the forest, so it feels private and you can watch the butterflies. The breakfast and dinner were plentiful and delicious. There are basically no other dinner options in Ibaruma, so if you don't have a car it's best to take dinner at the hotel's restaurant - it's not cheap but definitely very good value. There are a few restaurants for lunch in Ibaruma - the village is tiny, but cute. There is no real super market or convenience store though. There is a bus close to the hotel. It doesn't run very frequently, but just enough for an afternoon trip to Yonehara Beach or Kabira Bay. And don't miss out on Tamatorizaki Viewpoint, it is breathtaking and only 15min by foot or much quicker if you take the e-Bike. There is also a small tour operator in town who can take you snorkeling, fishing or canoeing in the mangroves. Overall, we had a super pleasant stay and would recommend the place to anyone.

“Easy stay”

Breakfast was fine and the chef was very friendly and hospitable. Massage chair in the room and shower jets were a great addition!

Staff was really friendly. They helped us with anything we need. The breakfast was amazing and the location was grea.

“Good quiet location, lovely food, helpful staff, need a car to get around.”

Japanese style breakfast, good quantity and variety; likewise dinner, very good quality and value.

“Okay place for 1 or 2 nights”

It was good place to go to the beach. The forest path was lovely. Breakfast is okay, the owners are kind. Okay place to stay one or two nights.

The location was amazing, right by the beach and staff were warm and welcoming. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese set meal and it was good.

“Stayed here before, I'll stay here again.”

I've stayed here before (you'll find my review somewhere on here) and I'll stay again. The breakfast is good, not "great". Others seem to be overpraising it. The location is fantastic. If you're looking for peace and quiet, that is.
