Sales for the NOT A HOTEL Setouchi villas are now open. Located on a 30,000-m2 site on the remote island of Sagishima in Japan, NOT A HOTEL Setouchi brings three villas to the southwestern cape of the island with panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea. Each three- and four-bedroom villa has distinct design characteristics that fit into their specific location onsite, referencing the design of traditional Japanese single-story houses and incorporating materials local to Japan – including Japanese black slate, wood, and rammed Earth. The ring-shaped ‘360’ villa is perched at the highest altitude, offering literal 360-degree views of Setouchi’s land and seascape with a central courtyard for privacy. ‘270’ captures a 270-degree panorama of the surrounding archipelago, featuring bathing spaces arranged like floating islands around the pool alongside a sauna and open firepit. At the peninsula’s tip, ‘180’ is the closest to the sea, whose curvature follows the coastal landscape. Based on a shared ownership model, buyers can purchase a set number of nights at the resort – between 30 and 365 – per year. NOT A HOTEL Setouchi is under construction and is set to open in 2026.
