Not a Hotel Setouchi Resort / BIG

Surrounded by the Seto Inland Sea, NOT A HOTEL's newest resort – NOT A HOTEL Setouchi – is now open on the remote island of Sagishima. The three distinct villas are made of soil directly from the site using the traditional rammed earth technique, carved into the island's mountainous terrain. Made up of three villas, a beachfront restaurant, and a private beach, NOT A HOTEL Setouchi is set on a 30,000-m2 site on the southwestern cape of Sagishima. Designed by BIG with construction taking less than two years, fractional ownership was offered through NOT A HOTEL's shared ownership model, building upon the brand's network of luxury vacation homes across Japan.
