Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) has announced in a press release the opening of its new Sesoko Island resort in Okinawa.
The oceanfront resort will serve as the first Okinawa-based vacation ownership property, according to the release.
"The Beach Resort Sesoko by Hilton Club is officially open," Hilton tweeted earlier this month. "Time to add Sesoko Island in Okinawa to your #bucketlist! #Japan."
The Beach Resort Sesoko forms part of an HGV investment in the APAC region, the release said. The company now services approximately 68,000 owner families based in the area, bringing its domestic visitor count to 70% of total Okinawa visits.
"When we first visited Sesoko years ago, it was a defining moment in our company's expansion to Japan," Hilton Grand Vacations President and CEO Mark Wang said in the release. "We were awestruck by the island's natural beauty and have worked for years with industry leaders Mori Trust, Hilton and the local community to bring our vision for this property to life. We are incredibly honored to introduce vacation owners to Sesoko and look forward to growing along with the community in this region."
