The Gran Resort Elegante Awajishima
7,2/10 Very Good - Based on 158 reviews
Immersed in the vibrant tranquility of Awaji Island, the ryokan in Awaji, The Gran Resort Elegante Awajishima, is a sanctuary where the sea breeze and the gentle hills unite. From the terrace or the soothing garden, let your gaze wander into the infinity of the sparkling sea. Treat yourself to a moment of well-being in the bright indoor pool or the public bath, while the more contemplative find refuge in the sauna. Everything here invites harmony, listening to the whispers of the world.
Graceful and welcoming, the rooms with traditional tatami and comfortable futons or contemporary beds offer a haven of rest and elegance. The view from the windows reveals a natural tableau renewed with each sunrise. Every detail, from the intimate sitting area to the gentle air conditioning, has been designed to turn your stay into a moment of absolute peace. Whether you are traveling with family, friends, or alone, the ryokan is a setting that adapts to all your expectations.
Let yourself be seduced by the culinary delights of its restaurant, where international flavors and local inspirations intertwine in a modern and refined ambiance. For a gustatory getaway, the surroundings are full of hidden gems like the restaurant ゑびす亭 本店, serving treasures of Japanese gastronomy. Here, between sea and mountain, each meal is an invitation to celebrate the art of living in Awaji.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Immersive in some aspects, this ryokan blends contemporary elements with traditional Japanese touches. The highlighted cuisine is meticulous and visually appealing. The rooms offer mixed choices, combining tatami and modern furniture, but the overall authenticity could be improved. The baths offer a pleasant view but lack exceptional character.
