Its commanding presence offers guests sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and lush surroundings—a perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.

Every stay here radiates ease and elegance. With 730+ guest rooms and suites, including clubs with private lounge access and ocean terraces, you’ll wake up surrounded by comfort and beauty . Expect luxury bedding, spacious floor plans, and modern touches like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free high-speed Wi‑Fi.

But that’s just the beginning: the resort complex connects you to extensive facilities—the legendary hot springs, spa services, gym, sauna, indoor/outdoor pools, golf courses, tennis courts, and even horseback riding. Whether you’re a spa enthusiast or outdoor adventurer, this resort caters to your every whim.

🍽️ Culinary Delights with a Miyazaki Twist

Food lovers, rejoice! Sheraton Grande Ocean offers seven diverse dining venues ranging from Japanese hot pots and sushi to Italian, Chinese, steak, and buffet-style spreads. Savor local flavors like fresh Miyazaki beef and tropical citrus juices sourced from the region. The elegant Pine Terrace restaurant overlooks the pool—perfect for a relaxing dinner after a day of more excitement.

🏝️ Where Adventure Meets Relaxation

What truly sets this resort apart is its seamless mix of excitement and peace:

• Hot springs (onsen): Rejuvenate in indoor and outdoor onsen baths, surrounded by serene pine groves—soothing both body and soul.

📜 A Story Rooted in Resilience and Innovation

The resort opened in 1993–94 as part of the ambitious Phoenix Seagaia Resort complex. It symbolized Japan’s re-emergence in tourism after economic tumult. Though the famous Ocean Dome closed in 2007 and the hotel sustained itself—and in 2007, striking partnership with Sheraton brought renewed sophistication and financial success. Today, it continues to shine as a landmark symbol of Miyazaki’s determination to create world-class hospitality.
