Mare Blu Amami, a new adult luxury glamping resort, will open on July 3, 2026, on Amami Oshima, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The resort offers 12 private pool villas overlooking the pristine coral reef sea known as “Amami Blue,” complete with exclusive amenities including private saunas and pet-friendly accommodations.
Amami Oshima, often called the “Galapagos of the Orient,” is famous for its rich biodiversity and untouched nature. Its clear coral waters are popular for snorkeling and diving, and direct flights from major Japanese cities make it accessible year-round. Mare Blu Amami allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in this natural beauty with exclusive and serene accommodations right by the sea.
