A New Style of Stay: A “Proactive Wellness Retreat"
THE PASONA is a resort focused on “pre-disease state" where a preventive care can help maintain health and avoid illness. Nestled in the lush natural surroundings of Awaji Island, it offers guests the opportunity to rebalance their minds and bodies while reevaluating their future healthy lifestyles. Another major attraction is the chance to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with oneself in a peaceful environment.
Wellness Gastronomy Featuring Ingredients from Awaji Island, Creating a Culinary Experience that Combines Local Produce and Health
At our on-site restaurant, you can enjoy meals generously featuring fresh vegetables, seafood, and meat sourced from Awaji Island. “Wellness Gastronomy,” which strives to balance nutritional value with delicious flavors, is created under the supervision of a Michelin-starred chef. A diverse menu is available, including body-friendly Japanese and French cuisine as well as shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), and options are provided to accommodate health-conscious dietary restrictions. A key feature of this experience is the opportunity to nurture your well-being from the inside out through food.
Wellness Programs to Rejuvenate Body and Mind
Yoga, Breathing Techniques, and Personal Care
During your stay, you can participate in wellness programs tailored to your individual goals and physical condition. Yoga and stretching sessions held in an open-air setting overlooking the ocean help relax both body and mind, gently relieving the stresses of daily life. We also offer personal conditioning sessions led by expert staff, as well as breathing and meditation programs designed to balance the autonomic nervous system—ideal for those seeking a deeper sense of renewal.
Guest Rooms and Amenities Designed for a Restful Night’s Sleep
Accommodations Inspired by Sleep Science
Throughout THE PASONA’s guest rooms, thoughtful details are incorporated to ensure a high-quality sleep experience. From sensor-equipped electric beds* to a design that maximizes natural light and minimizes noise, every element is crafted to guide you toward a restful night’s sleep. Another unique feature of this facility is the personalized advice you’ll receive based on your sleep data collected during your stay, helping you create an even better sleep environment.

Comprehensive Medical Support System
To ensure guests can enjoy a worry-free stay even during long-term stays, THE PASONA has established a comprehensive medical support system. We collaborate with Kobe University Hospital and the on-site clinic to provide an environment where guests can receive medical care as needed. As a health-focused retreat facility, we are committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable stay for our guests.
Natural Hot Springs and a Soothing Bathing Experience
A Luxurious Retreat Where Every Room Features a Natural Hot Spring
Each guest room is equipped with a cypress tub filled with natural hot spring water, allowing you to relax and enjoy the waters in complete privacy. Bathing while immersing yourself in the natural beauty of Awaji Island provides deep relaxation for both body and mind. Whether gazing at the starry sky at night or taking in the ocean view in the morning, soaking in the hot springs makes your stay an even more luxurious experience.
Water Entrance & Boardwalk
The architectural design was created by Shigeru Ban, a world-renowned architect and Pritzker Prize laureate. Centered around wood and emphasizing harmony with the natural environment, the design creates a sustainable space that attunes to the physical and mental well-being of visitors and the passage of time. On the ocean side of the facility, a water entrance has been constructed to accommodate superyachts. A stroll along the approximately 300-meter boardwalk, accompanied by ocean breezes and the soothing sound of waves, creates a welcoming arrival experience that heightens the sense of escape.
