Setouchi Retreat Aonagi in Shikoku, Japan, is not just a stay—it’s a pause designed by Tadao Ando. With its sculpted concrete lines, sea light, and only seven suites, the retreat edits life down to essentials: silence, rhythm, and horizon. Days unfold in long sightlines and uncluttered spaces; evenings are softened by warm baths and quiet ritual. Built for solo resets, partner retreats, or creative focus, Aonagi proves that luxury isn’t scale—it’s clarity.
