Yawn Yard

Kouri Island is connected to Okinawa's mainland by a single long bridge, which does a good job of filtering out anyone who isn't serious about doing nothing. Yawn Yard is a boutique hotel of angular blonde-wood villas scattered across a forested hill above the emerald sea. Private outdoor dining areas, optional infinity plunge pools, ocean views, and a house policy of zero screens. The rooms are pale-wood and minimalist, and the silence is the amenity.
