"Perched off the coast of Kagoshima, Japan's Yakushima Island is a place where ancient cedars meet dramatic coastlines and cascading waterfalls. This UNESCO World Heritage site has long been a destination for those seeking a connection with nature, and now it will become home to one of the most striking new hospitality projects in the world. NOT A HOTEL has unveiled plans for its next architectural masterpiece, a rock-and-glass sanctuary"
"Scheduled to begin sales in summer 2026, this project is poised to redefine luxury travel with its blend of natural immersion, design innovation, and a fractional ownership model that puts world-class architecture within reach for more travelers. A Bold New Destination for Modern Travelers Yakushima's rugged beauty has always been a draw for explorers, hikers, and culture seekers, but NOT A HOTEL's latest project will offer an entirely new way to experience the island."
Yakushima Island, off Kagoshima, features ancient cedars, dramatic coastlines, cascading waterfalls, and UNESCO World Heritage status. NOT A HOTEL will build a rock-and-glass sanctuary designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, with sales beginning summer 2026. The retreat will be constructed into the island's rocky landscape using locally sourced stone and expansive glass to frame sea views and a nearby waterfall. Design aims to blur indoor and outdoor boundaries with floor-to-ceiling windows and open terraces that allow the sights and sounds of Yakushima's lush ecosystem to flow through every corner. The project includes a fractional ownership model to expand access to world-class architecture and luxury travel.
