PLAY WORK GROUND Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Koichiro Endo) opened 'semilla Nago Okinawa,' a lifestyle villa with four exclusive rooms, in Nago, Okinawa, on April 25, 2026.

## Resort as an Extension of Daily Life
semilla is a lifestyle villa built on the concept of 'Resort as an extension of daily life.' While equipped with guest rooms, a pool, and a firewood sauna, it also features the 'Taiyou to Tsuki no Terrace' restaurant, which is open to non-guests as well. Unlike typical unmanned villas, it offers a new form of resort experience designed to encompass dining, communication, and connections with the local community.
## A New Business Model Fusing 'Villa' and 'Village'
Traditional unmanned villas often suffer from the burden of self-catering and a lack of local dining options. semilla addresses these issues by adopting an operational structure with on-site staff and an integrated restaurant. The revenue from the dining department helps offset labor and management costs, providing guests with convenient, high-quality dining experiences while offering local residents a place to gather. This realizes a unique 'Villa × Village' model that balances operational quality and profitability.
## Facility Features
By limiting the number of rooms to four, the design prioritizes time spent in shared areas. The 35–42 sqm guest rooms harmonize wood and mortar materials with nature. The pool is designed as an 'additional living room,' and the authentic firewood sauna provides a space to reset mind and body in nature.
Furthermore, the architecture emphasizes 'casual publicness' by not strictly defining usage. By placing terraces and benches as shared spaces, the facility creates an environment where guests, staff, and local residents can share time with a comfortable sense of distance. It is designed not merely as a 'box for sleeping,' but as a vessel for creating comfortable margins between people and nature, and between people and people.
To commemorate the opening, a free stay invitation campaign is currently being held on the official Instagram (@semilla_stay).
