ROOMS

The signature room ‘THE AONAGI Suite’ captures the ‘blue’ of the Seto Inland Sea through its expansive maisonette windows. The ‘Semi-Open-Air Onsen Suite’ features a newly developed full-flat bed bath. The ‘Garden Suite’ comes with a wood balcony and a garden. There is also a room perfect for groups, with 4 beds and 2 bathrooms.

DINING

A culinary moment packed with the seasonal bounties of the Seto Inland Sea’s rich seafood and the mountains. The Japanese cuisine, making the most of these seasonal ingredients, is charming for its deep flavors found in its visual beauty and lingering aftertaste. In this tranquil space, enjoy a special dining experience that touches upon the Japanese food culture passed down in the region.

SPA TREATMENT

In the Setouchi Retreat, there are two exclusive spa suite rooms, each offering expansive views of the Seto Inland Sea’s beautifully blue waters and islands. Utilizing an abundance of natural blessings from the Seto Inland Sea, such as yuzu, mandarin oranges, and pomelos, our original products enable a customized treatment experience. In this luxurious private space, guests can indulge in blissful all-hand treatments. The facility is also available for use by non-staying visitors.

ARCHITECTURE

In recent years, the ‘Setouchi Triennale’ has gained global attention. Works by Tadao Ando, such as the ‘Chichu Art Museum’, ‘Benesse House’, and ‘ANDO MUSEUM’ are located in Naoshima, the festival’s central venue. ‘Setouchi Retreat Aonagi’ stands alongside these as one of the representative ‘Ando Architectures’ of the Seto Inland Sea. The building, once partially open as a museum, has been renovated. It has been reborn as a small luxury hotel overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.

ART

Architecture, pouring light, views of the Seto Inland Sea, cuisine, and the collaboration with minimal art by contemporary artists. Art is one of the pleasures that Setouchi Retreat Aonagi can offer. Details about the art located throughout the facility are introduced on our detailed page.

FACILITIES

Despite having only 7 rooms, we offer various facilities including the iconic 30m outdoor ‘Infinity Pool’ which connects to the Seto Inland Sea, and the indoor ‘Private Pool & Sauna’ featuring a hot spring jacuzzi and a sauna with a view of the garden. The outdoor pool is typically open for swimming from early July to early September, while the indoor pool can be reserved for private use throughout the year.

SIGHTSEEING & ACTIVITIES

Gentle seas, majestic nature, and the slow passage of time. Various delights await in the surroundings of our establishment, set within the vast Setonaikai National Park. Please also make use of it as a tourist base for places like Dogo Onsen, Japan’s oldest hot spring, and the ‘Setouchi Shimanami Kaido’ that connects Hiroshima and Onomichi.
