Situated along the banks of the Oyodo River in Miyazaki City, FAV LUX Miyazaki is scheduled to open on July 1, 2026. The property centers its guest experience on the dual pillars of “Sauna and Food,” offering a high-end wellness retreat designed for both individual travelers and groups. The hotel comprises 41 guest rooms across six distinct categories, with the largest units accommodating up to six guests, catering to the region’s popularity for group activities such as golf and surfing.
A Wellness Retreat on the Oyodo River
The hotel’s location provides direct views of the Oyodo River, a central landmark of Miyazaki. The design philosophy emphasizes a connection to the local environment while providing a base for outdoor pursuits. Guests can easily access the Nishitachibana-dori entertainment district within a 10-minute walk, balancing quiet riverfront relaxation with proximity to the city’s culinary and social center.
Authentic Sauna Experience and Low-Oxygen Gym
The spa facilities are anchored by a hybrid Finnish and Morris-style sauna. A notable feature is the inclusion of two cold plunges, maintained at 15°C and 9°C. The 9°C “single” plunge is a rarity for the Miyazaki region, specifically designed to facilitate deep relaxation and the “totonou” state favored by sauna enthusiasts. For fitness, the hotel introduces “LOX-Fit,” a 24-hour low-oxygen gym that simulates an altitude of 2,500 meters, allowing for high-efficiency cardiovascular training within a shorter timeframe.
Oceania-Style Dining at kitchen by fav
The on-site restaurant, “kitchen by fav,” operates as an all-day dining venue under the supervision of the Tokyo-based brand LATTE GRAPHIC. The menu focuses on wellness-oriented cuisine, including specialized “Sauna Meshi” (sauna meals) intended to nourish the body after spa sessions. Signature dishes include beef tendon curry and Miyazaki Nichinan chicken nanban, alongside a range of breakfast options, salads, and Oceania-inspired plates that utilize local Miyazaki ingredients.
Spacious Accommodations for Groups
Guest rooms are configured to maximize flexibility, including suites with 40-square-meter private balconies overlooking the river. A specialized “Saunage” room type, produced by Mikie Sasano, features a private sauna within the guest quarters for exclusive use. All rooms and the communal spa are equipped with Brighte “SHOWER DRYER” technology, a next-generation hair care system. For the opening, the hotel is offering a memorial plan with a 30% discount on standard rates for stays beginning in July 2026.
