Limited to 2 groups per day, a resort villa surrounded by nature

About 60 minutes by car from Okayama City(Okayama IC). Facing the sea, the Ushimado area is attractive for the Seto Inland Sea and its islands, its rich nature, and its beautiful beaches. COVO-ushimado- is a villa that is limited to two groups per day, located right in front of the beach, where you can fully experience the nature of Ushimado. The private space has an open living room and kitchen, and the three dome-shaped buildings are designed as bedrooms and baths. A sauna is installed in the center of the villa, and can be rented for private use by the hour. There is no contact with staff from check-in to check-out, making it the perfect accommodation for those who value privacy.

Charm 1: Enjoy a full-fledged sauna

The sauna is equipped with a Finnish-style barrel sauna with a temperature of 100-110°C, and you can also enjoy loyly. The best feature of the sauna is the view from the sauna, where you can see Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture in front of you.

You can enjoy a pleasant outdoor bath with the vast, unobstructed sky and sea as your backdrop. There are two individual cold baths, and the temperature can be adjusted. Staff recommendations are the daytime sauna, sunset sauna, starry sky sauna, and sunrise sauna after checking in, where you can enjoy the ever-changing scenery (swimsuits are required when using the sauna).

Charm 2: Open living room and kitchen

There is an open space in the Chuo of the private space, with an open living room and kitchen. It is covered and equipped with heating so that it is not affected by the weather. The appeal is that you can relax without worrying about your surroundings, such as having a barbecue with your family or a bonfire with friends. A projector is also provided, so you can create an outdoor cinema-like atmosphere (we recommend taking precautions against the cold).

Some people say they'd love to have such a spacious kitchen. You can enjoy cooking according to the season, such as BBQ in the summer and hotpot indoors in the winter. Even if you have small children, you can rest assured that they can prepare meals as usual.

The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances from BALMUDA, including a microwave, toaster, and rice cooker. Cooking utensils and tableware are also provided.

COVO-ushimado- allows you to bring your own food even if you are staying without meals. In the Ushimado area, you can get local ingredients such as oysters, Chinese cabbage, and cabbage in the winter, and mushrooms in the summer, so you can enjoy making memories by cooking for yourself. For plans with meals included, we focus on locally produced ingredients, and provide seasonal ingredients, mainly from Okayama Prefecture.

Charm 3: Infinity bathroom

One of the three dome-shaped buildings features a bathroom with a large window. It is large enough for a family of five to comfortably fit in, and when bathing you can feel as if you are one with the sea. It is a great bath in the morning to watch the sun rise over the sea, and is also perfect for bathing after a sauna(special glass is used to ensure privacy).

Attraction #4: Introducing the secret base bedroom

One of the dome-shaped buildings has a bedroom (queen size) that makes you feel like you're in a cave or forest. The lighting and switches are also carefully designed.

The other is a cylindrical bedroom with two single-sized beds on the lower bunk, allowing you to wake up naturally as the morning sun shines in at dawn.

Climbing the log stairs, you will find yourself in a secret hideout-like space. It is a place where you can spend special moments, such as having breakfast while watching the sunrise or chatting before bed.

Amenities are also provided, including toothbrushes, hairbrushes, razors, etc. in the bathroom. Pajamas and bathrobes are provided in the bedroom. Hawaiian coffee, honey tea, tea, and sweets are also available in the kitchen.

A beach only known by locals

If you turn off the road and follow the path along the sea, you'll arrive at a beach where you can enjoy swimming and SUP. The road ends just a few meters away, making it a hidden gem known only to those in the know. Conveniently located right in front of "COVO-ushimado-", the room is a luxurious space where you can relax after playing in the sea.

summary

Wake up with the sun and sleep with the setting sun. At COVO-ushimado, time flows at a leisurely pace without any rushing, allowing you to spend time in a natural environment. In winter, the place is bustling with people enjoying sauna and bonfires, and in summer, swimming in the sea and having BBQs.

It was noon when we visited, but the sound of the waves was impressive in the quiet environment. At night, there are few street lights, so you can enjoy a starry sky. This is the kind of accommodation that makes you want to get away from your digital devices and cherish the present moment. This is a facility that is especially recommended for those who love the sea and sauna, and those who want to spend time with their loved ones.
