Sankara Hotel & Spa Yakushima

“Amazing and one of our favorite hotels ever”

Really special hotel on a really special island.

Really special hotel on a really special island. We stayed at one of the Manasa 2nd floor villas and loved every bit of our stay - especially the kind staff and the amazing kitchen and food experience (upgrade for Okas is totally worth it, although Ayana is delicious as well). Big soak tub in room was awesome. Basically everything here was awesome. It's expensive but I think worth the price. Attention to detail and thoughtfulness was outstanding, staff was so friendly and a great balance of giving you space and attentive. We will definitely be back. You are on a somewhat tropical island, so there will be some bugs around like moths, or small spiders, and they were harmless. If I had to nit-pick the pillows were not my favorite (one large firmer buckwheat-ish pillow and one very flat soft pillow) as I like a medium thickness (but firmer) pillow, but I also didn't bother to ask and maybe they had other pillows available.

We had a perfect time at Sankara Hotel & Spa. The kitchen is first class and the guest service is excellent. They took care of everything so we could fully enjoy our stay, for example when we used one of their rental cars, the staff already configured the car navigation to english with the correct destination and provided a beach bag with towels and water, which was very forthcoming. For anyone looking for peace and nature, but doesn't want to miss out on amenities, this is the best choice on Yakushima. Excellent food and exceptional staff which also speaks perfect english so communication is easy as well.

“Best resort on Yakushima”

Among my favorite hotels of all time. I think I will definitely come back at some point (waiting for them to join the Hilton/SLH partnership) Pros - Unparalleled hospitality. Staff is very accommodating to your needs. Helped us make dinner plans, moved dinner times, suggested activities, etc. - Room comes with pickup & drop-off at the airport - Okras restaurant food is so good I think it might be worth going just for the restaurant. Was better than the last 3 Michelin Star restaurant I dined at (Le Bernardin). - Property is quite beautiful - Rental cars are available to rent on property, and hotel also has hiking equipment for rent - Happy hour provides free drinks for about two(?) hours a day Cons - The property itself is on a steep incline, so there is a bit of climbing that is necessary to go to and from your room to the main building. The staff will pick you up via golf carts however, if you request, so I am thankful for that. - The property is located quite far from the airport and is tucked away in a relatively isolated location, so going in and out of the property does take some time.

We have traveled to many countries and without a doubt this is one of the most beautiful accommodation we've enjoyed throughout our travels. My husband and I were surrounded by beauty, quiet and luxury at Sankara. Everything was perfect from the staff, the room, the food, and the impeccable attention to service and detail. Look no further for comfortable beds, incredible meals, and deep relaxation in your private (very large) soaking bath. The staff go out of their way to accommodate any need. They celebrated my birthday with various small touches that warmed my heart. Thank you to all for making our stay a wonderful experience.
