One of the Largest in the Prefecture! A Huge Pool Area You’ll Never Get Tired of Exploring
Get Ready to Scream! The “Ultra Boomerang” Makes Its Debut in the Prefecture
The highlight here is, without a doubt, the “Ultra Boomerang”! The sensation of hurtling down at an almost vertical angle is so thrilling that even adults can’t help but scream. Even as you exclaim, “This is seriously scary!”, you’re sure to get hooked. There are also two other full-scale body slides, making this an irresistible destination for slide enthusiasts.

I can go there as many times as I want!!!
From Lazy Rivers to Adults-Only Pools! Features of Our Diverse Pool Selection
The facility features five distinct areas, including the “Tingara Pool” (a lazy river with a circumference of approximately 128 meters) and the “Waraba Pool” (water depth: 0.25 meters), where children can play safely. There’s also the “Yukuru Pool,” which is restricted to guests 18 and older, making it an ideal spot where families and groups of adults can each enjoy themselves at their own pace.
Plus, during the summer months (July–September), we're open until 10:00 p.m.! The pool is beautifully lit up and creates a romantic atmosphere!
Enjoy a blissful drink! Free poolside bar
There’s a bar right by the pool, so when you’re tired from playing, you can quench your thirst with a cold drink right away. Surprisingly, soft drinks and snacks are free! You can enjoy a chilled soft drink while still in your swimsuit—it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind.
A Premium Experience in the Executive Lounge
An exclusive lounge open only to guests staying on the Executive Floors (10th–12th). The services, which vary by time of day, are simply luxurious.

A large public bath that soothes the fatigue of travel right down to your core
A spacious communal bath is an essential part of any resort stay. After an active day spent swimming or sightseeing, stretch out and relax. The clean, inviting space features a sauna and an outdoor bath, making it the perfect place to recharge.

Perfect for families! There are plenty of nearby recreational spots as well.
There was a small kids' play area right in front of the entrance to the Executive Lounge on the top floor. Since you don't need a room key or anything like that to access it, anyone can use it.
Right in front of the hotel lies “Cape Zanpa Park,” one of Okinawa’s most iconic scenic spots. Take a stroll to the “Cape Zanpa Lighthouse”—the tallest in Japan—check out the giant shisa statues, and even interact with goats!

Okibura Reviews
Reborn in 2024, the Grand Mercure Okinawa Zanpa Misaki Resort is truly the ideal resort where “relaxation for adults” and “adventure for children” coexist.
The convenience of the all-inclusive package and the high quality of our state-of-the-art pools are among the best in the prefecture.
If you want to enjoy both the "luxury of doing nothing" and the "joy of having a blast" with someone special, this is definitely the place. In fact, if you choose this spot, you can't go wrong!!
It was such a wonderful hotel that I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
