Everything about our stay was amazing. Sankara was easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in around the world. They made our honeymoon incredibly special.

Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
Incredible place! The hotel staff were amazing, very friendly and on point. They didn’t miss a beat. They helped us arrange a rental car through their property, dinners, and hiking tours. They have a spa on site which is great. We were lucky enough to get sunshine both day we were there but had we been “rained in” it’s a perfect place to lounge and relax. We had the smaller room and this room was NOT small at all! Highly recommend!!!!

10/10 Exceptional

Sankara was a perfect oasis of peace and tranquility on Yakushima Island. The service was impeccable. Everyone knew who we were and the villa we were staying at. So polite, gracious and helpful. The facilities were top notch and the spa was wonderful. We sampled the massages and facial treatments. Amazing experience. Dinner options were perfect. We were very impressed. My only complaint was the breakfast got a little repetitive and boring. We will definitely return.

美しい海と山に囲まれた最高の景色と、笑顔の素敵なスタッフの皆様の気遣い、美味しい料理、南国ムードたっぷりのお部屋と最高の時間を過ごさせていただきました。 ディナーは一階のアヤナでプリフィックスのコースをいただきましたが、どれも工夫されていて目でも舌でも楽しめました。デザートはビュッフェでどれも選べず！10種類くらい＋お茶菓子もたくさん。少しずつ全部いただきました。どれも美味しいし、見た目も綺麗で選ぶのもとても楽しいと思います。 お部屋は広く、たくさんの種類のお茶や珈琲も備えてありその時の気分で好きなものを楽しめます。ライブラリーでお借りした山本二三さんの絵画集を見ながらまったりくつろぎ最高でした！ スタッフの皆さんも島のこと、食べ物のこと、ホテルのこと、話題が豊富でお話しするのも楽しいと思います。お土産も持たせてくださったんですが、開けてびっくりする素敵なギフトご入っていました。 ぜひまた滞在したいです。できれば次はもうちょっと長めに！ 幸せな時間をありがとうございました。

最高のホテルです！
空港にバトラーの方がが迎えに来て頂き、空港を出た瞬間からサンカラの滞在が始まりました。 清潔で快適な部屋、最高の食事、屋久島の楽しみ方を提案してくれるバトラー、1人1人のコンディションに合わせたSPAメニュー、全てが最高でした。 帰る時にまた必ず来たいと思えるホテルです。

okasでの夕食は、どの料理も素晴らしく、この料理を食べにまた泊まりに来たいと思えるものでした。 また、宿泊前から、屋久島滞在全体について、心配りして頂けるスタッフのサービスも最高でした。 １点だけ残念だったのは、デイベッドの表面に数か所黒いしみがあったことです。

至福の滞在
訪問する前からメールで色々相談にのって頂き素晴らしいホテルだなぁと思っていましたが実際は想像以上でした。 空港から出ると今回お世話になったバトラーさんがアルファードで迎えに来てくれており海外の五つ星ホテルのよう。 素晴らしい食事を活かすワインのペアリング、ホテル専属ガイドさんとのトレッキング、トレッキング前後2日間で考えて頂いたスパメニュー、全て完璧でした。 また敷地内を歩いているとガーデン担当の方が花や木のことを色々と教えてくれ、スタッフの皆さんでこのホテルを作っていることが伝わってきました。 帰ってすぐに次回の予約をさせて頂きました。
