XYZ PRIVATE SPA AND SEASIDE RESORT, Shirahama

All rooms at Xyz Private Spa And Seaside Resort have a living room with a hot tub and an electronically sliding wall that opens to ocean views. The interior is styled with a flat-screen TV, and each private bathroom includes slippers, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Lower-floor rooms offer direct access to the volcanic open-air bath on the balcony, a feature repeatedly praised by couples for the sunrise and sunset views.

Guests have exclusive access to a private hot spring bath in each room, plus an outdoor mineral hot spring on the property. The on-site spa provides full body massages and open-air bath treatments. These geothermal facilities are fed by the same underground springs that make Shirahama a famous onsen destination.

The open-air restaurant on the beachfront serves a continental breakfast that guests rated as excellent. Dinner is available at the same restaurant for an additional charge, and reviewers describe the three-course meals as brilliant value and high-end quality. Wine and champagne are offered for purchase to accompany the ocean-view meals.

The hotel operates a free shuttle service to and from JR Shirahama Station, and an on-demand airport shuttle to Kansai International Airport is available for streamlined travel arrangements. Complimentary private parking is provided on site. Daily housekeeping and a 24-hour reception service are standard, with key card access and security alarms for safety.

Shirahama Energy Land and Adventure World are both a 15-minute drive from the hotel, making it convenient for families visiting the theme parks and aquarium. The property is located within a national park, offering direct sea access from a private beach area.
