瑠璃浜
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 7 reviews
瑠璃浜 is a villa-style hot-spring resort on the Miyazu coast near Amanohashidate in Kyoto prefecture. The property consists of standalone villas that pair private in-room thermal baths fed from the site’s source with a private outdoor pool and direct ocean or garden views. Interiors favor spacious layouts and one-unit rental for families or groups, with glass-walled living areas and terraces that extend the living space outdoors. As a ryokan-style retreat it blends Japanese bathing culture with villa privacy, making it a ryokan with private onsen Amanohashidate.
Accommodation types range from two- to three-bedroom villas combining tatami/futon configurations and Western beds; each unit includes an en-suite thermal bath, separate shower facilities and cooling appliances such as a fridge, and most present open-plan living that links the indoor spa to the private pool. Onsite services support self-contained stays with two dining venues offering regional menus, an activities desk for arranging local experiences, complimentary Wi‑Fi and private parking; a subset of villas accept small dogs. Housekeeping and in‑villa dining are available to maintain privacy and convenience.
Guests use the resort as a base for shoreline activities — paddle sports, fishing and guided coastal walks are commonly arranged — or to explore nearby cultural sites and seafood producers in the Amanohashidate area. The property’s model emphasizes private, flexible stays where the hot-spring and pool are reserved for villa guests rather than shared with the public; for travelers seeking a ryokan with private onsen Kyoto, this resort presents a villa-forward alternative that prioritizes seclusion, direct water views and easy access to local marine recreation.
