If you’re here for the beaches (and you should be), you’ll find beachfront resorts with infinity pools and spa perks in Kabira Bay, perfect for a luxe escape. Travelling on a budget or with kids? Head to central Ishigaki for boutique stays and family-friendly hotels near shops and restaurants. Whatever your style, Ishigaki delivers sun-soaked stays with serious charm.
