The Moon Beach Museum Resort

**Overview** The Moon Beach Museum Resort makes the most sense when you can spend part of a day at the hotel. Yukifusa Kokuba’s 1975 design brings air and daylight through a planted atrium and opens toward a natural crescent beach. You can move between the terraces, shore and art displays without driving. The operator lists different room families for green views, sea views and beachfront stays. Look at the exact room name when booking so you know whether you are paying for an ocean view, a kitchen or room for a larger group. Onna works well for a west-coast itinerary with time to explore north of Naha. **Key metrics** - Opened: 1975 - Guest rooms in OCVB directory: 262 - Airport drive in OCVB directory: About 50 min - Natural Luxury capacity: 4 guests **Pros** - A natural bay and a notable modernist building shape the stay. - The operator publishes layouts and capacities by room. - Onna is useful for a longer west-coast itinerary. **Cons** - The airport drive is longer than from Chatan or Naha. - Views and layouts differ by room category. - Naha’s markets and historic sights require a separate trip. **Best for** Choose this for a beach stay with an interest in Okinawan architecture or a day without a separate outing. **Things to watch out for** Book the room view you want and verify the activities running during your dates.
